Description
Compress JSON data to TOON format for ~40% context savings. Use when fetching APIs, reading JSON files, or any task outputting structured data. Pipe any output through `toon` - JSON gets compressed, non-JSON passes through unchanged.
Usage Guidance
Do not run or copy any scripts referenced by this SKILL.md until you can verify their origin. Questions to resolve before installing: (1) Where is the 'scripts/toon' file or a trusted install command (for example, an npx or npm package URL)? (2) Is @toon-format/cli published on npm or hosted on a verifiable GitHub repo you can review? (3) Can the author provide a source repository or a signed release? If you decide to install, prefer obtaining the CLI from the official npm/GitHub releases, inspect the script contents before executing, and avoid running opaque copy/paste commands from unknown servers.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toon
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle describes a utility for compressing JSON data to a 'TOON' format to save context tokens. The `SKILL.md` provides clear usage and installation instructions, which involve copying a local script (`scripts/toon`, not provided) to the user's PATH and making it executable. It explicitly states a dependency on `npx` and references the `@toon-format/cli` package. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, persistence, or prompt injection attempts in the provided `_meta.json` or `SKILL.md` files. The instructions are straightforward and align with the stated benign purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose (compress JSON to a TOON format) is plausible and matches references to a TOON format spec and an npm CLI (@toon-format/cli). However, the skill bundle contains no binaries or code files, while the README instructs copying a local script (scripts/toon) into PATH — that file is not present in the package, which is inconsistent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions themselves are limited to piping data through a 'toon' CLI, which is appropriate for the stated purpose. But the SKILL.md also includes installation commands that reference a local path (scripts/toon) and a requirement of npx/Node — the instructions expect files and tooling not provided or documented in the bundle, making the instructions incomplete and ambiguous. There is no guidance on obtaining or verifying the referenced CLI (@toon-format/cli).
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry entry. The SKILL.md suggests copying a script from scripts/toon and notes 'Requires: npx (Node.js)', but no script is included and no reliable install command (for example, an npx command or npm install) is provided. This mismatch means following the install instructions as-is will fail or require retrieving code from an unspecified external source — a potential risk if users copy unknown scripts from the internet.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. That is proportionate for a local CLI that simply reformats JSON.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or other elevated persistence. It is user-invocable and allows autonomous invocation by the agent (platform default), which is normal and not, by itself, a red flag.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toon - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toon - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
