Description
Comprehensive strategy development workflow from ideation to validation. Use when creating trading strategies, running backtests, parameter optimization, or...
Usage Guidance
This skill's instructions expect system-level and network privileges (ssh/scp, tmux, process management, persistent state files, optional DB and vendor ingest) but the package declares none of the required credentials or binaries. Before installing or running: 1) Request the actual scripts referenced (start_swarm_watchdogs.sh, launch_parallel.sh, optimize_strategy.py, validation.py, etc.) and review them line-by-line — do not run blindly. 2) Require explicit declarations of required environment variables/keys (SSH private key, HOST/PORT, Vast.ai or cloud API keys, Postgres URL) and only provide them in isolated test environments. 3) Prefer running first in a sandboxed VM/container with no sensitive host mounts or network access. 4) Disable autonomous execution unless you can audit all control-plane code; run manually until you confirm intended behavior. 5) If you need this functionality, demand the skill author add explicit metadata (required env vars, binaries) and include or point to the referenced scripts and installation instructions. These inconsistencies justify caution — the workflow could be legitimate, but it currently asks for broad, implicit privileges without transparency.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: strategy-workflow
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to its extensive use of high-risk capabilities and sophisticated prompt injection techniques, even though the stated purpose is benign. Key indicators include explicit instructions for remote root access and execution via `scp` and `ssh` to `root@HOST` (SKILL.md, backtest-optimize.md), direct commands for data exfiltration to 'mac local machine & cloud' (references/strategy_generation.md), and the 'Autonomous Doctrine (Mandatory)' in backtest-optimize.md. This doctrine is a strong form of prompt injection, instructing the AI agent to operate with mandatory persistence, self-healing, and autonomous decision-making, which represents a significant vulnerability if the agent's directives were to be subverted.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose (strategy development, backtests, distributed optimization) plausibly needs SSH, GPUs, tmux, python, and access to remote storage/DBs; those tools and credentials are referenced repeatedly in the instructions but are not declared in the registry metadata. It's plausible but the skill should have required env vars (SSH keys/host, Vast.ai/API creds, DB URL) and required binaries listed.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run system-level scripts (start_swarm_watchdogs.sh, launch tmux loops), run pgrep/kill/relaunch logic, read/write many persistent state/log files under workspace/docs, scp/ssh to remote hosts, and ingest private docs — all of which grant broad read/write and network access. The instructions are prescriptive about autonomous, always-on remediation and continuous communication; that scope is large and not constrained to the stated purpose.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files to execute. That reduces direct installation risk, but the runtime commands it tells the agent to run will invoke external scripts (which are not bundled) and system tools on the host.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or primary credential, yet the workflow expects SSH/scp access (HOST/PORT), potential cloud provider credentials (Vast.ai or vendor APIs), and optional DB connection strings (Postgres RDBStorage). The absence of declared credentials is a mismatch and could lead an agent to request or use secrets ad-hoc.
Persistence & Privilege
Although registry flags do not force always-on inclusion, the skill's instructions push for always-on, autonomous watchdogs that persist state, auto-heal, and relaunch processes. That behavior would write persistent logs/state, modify system process state, and perform network operations — a high privilege footprint that should be explicitly declared and limited.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install strategy-workflow - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/strategy-workflow - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
