/install starlink
Description
Control Starlink dish via local gRPC API. Get status, list WiFi clients, run speed tests, stow/unstow dish, reboot, and get GPS location. Use when the user asks about Starlink, internet status, connected devices, or satellite connectivity.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose, but take these precautions before installing or using it: 1) Verify the 'starlink' CLI you install is from a trusted source (review the GitHub repo code, commits, and maintainers) because 'cargo install --git' will compile and run third-party code and dependencies. 2) Be aware the agent will run the 'starlink' binary locally; those commands can physically control your dish (reboot, stow). Require user consent before executing those actions. 3) The skill requires being on your Starlink network and enabling local access in the Starlink app to get location — enable that setting only if you understand the privacy implications. 4) If you prefer lower risk, install and vet the CLI yourself (or run it in a controlled environment) before granting an agent the ability to invoke it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: starlink
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to install and use the `starlink-cli` tool, which interacts with a local Starlink dish via its gRPC API at `192.168.100.1:9200`. All commands described are local executions of the `starlink` binary, focused on legitimate device control (status, speed test, reboot, etc.). There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The installation method (`cargo install --git`) is standard for Rust projects, and the source repository is consistently referenced in SKILL.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual requirements and actions: the skill expects a 'starlink' CLI binary and the SKILL.md documents commands to query status, clients, speed tests, stow/unstow, reboot, and location via the local dish gRPC endpoint (192.168.100.1:9200). No unrelated credentials, paths, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to interacting with the local Starlink device and its local API; they require being on the Starlink network and enabling local access for location. The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or to transmit data to external endpoints beyond installing/building the CLI from the GitHub repo.
Install Mechanism
The registry contains no formal install spec, but SKILL.md recommends 'cargo install --git https://github.com/danfedick/starlink-cli' (builds Rust code from a GitHub repo). Installing from a Git repo via cargo pulls and compiles third‑party code (and requires Rust and protoc). This is a moderate-risk operation: acceptable for a CLI of this type but the user should review the repository and be aware build scripts and dependencies will run on their machine.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The only prerequisite is network access to the dish and enabling the Starlink app setting for location. This is proportionate to the skill's functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not set to always: true and is user-invocable (default). It does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills. Note: the skill can invoke the local 'starlink' binary to perform physical actions (reboot, stow) — consider requiring explicit user confirmation before executing such commands.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install starlink - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/starlink - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
