Description
Tool discovery and shell one-liner reference for sysadmin, DevOps, and security tasks. AUTO-CONSULT this skill when the user is: troubleshooting network issues, debugging processes, analyzing logs, working with SSL/TLS, managing DNS, testing HTTP endpoints, auditing security, working with containers, writing shell scripts, or asks 'what tool should I use for X'. Source: github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want a broad dual-use sysadmin and security reference and are comfortable reviewing commands before use. Do not let an agent copy commands from it blindly, especially packet capture, netcat, hping3, delete, secure-wipe, /etc/profile, or external web-scanner examples. Avoid auto-refresh unless you trust and review the upstream content each time.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sysadmin-toolbox Version: 1.1.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its automated content refresh mechanism. The `SKILL.md` file explicitly instructs the AI agent to execute `scripts/refresh.sh` weekly, which in turn clones content from an external GitHub repository (`https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge.git`) and overwrites local reference files. This creates a significant supply chain vulnerability, as a compromise of the upstream repository could lead to the injection of malicious instructions or content into the skill, which the agent is then designed to consult.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated sysadmin, DevOps, and security-reference purpose mostly matches the files, but the references include raw remote shell examples, credential-capture packet filters, traffic flooding, whole-disk wiping, and exploit/backdoor resources without clear authorization or safety framing.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md asks agents to auto-consult for broad everyday topics such as network troubleshooting, logs, shell scripts, security audits, and containers, which can surface high-risk command snippets in contexts that are not explicitly authorized security work.
Install Mechanism
The refresh script is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it clones an external GitHub repository and overwrites local reference files without pinning, integrity verification, or review gates. I found no cron or systemd artifact that actually schedules it weekly, so the automatic-refresh claim is under-specified rather than proven hidden execution.
Credentials
Several references send domains, IPs, URLs, files, or investigation targets to third-party web services and APIs, which is coherent for a toolbox but under-disclosed for internal or sensitive infrastructure data.
Persistence & Privilege
I did not find hidden persistence, credential-store access, or privilege escalation by the skill itself. However, the reference content includes system-wide and persistence-like commands such as modifying /etc/profile, netcat shell listeners, destructive deletes, and disk-wipe examples.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sysadmin-toolbox
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sysadmin-toolbox
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
