Description
Chat with your finances from Treeline Money. Query balances, spending, budgets, and transactions.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose, but you're granting the agent the ability to run the Treeline CLI against your local financial database. Consider: (1) review the GitHub release page before allowing OpenClaw to auto-install the 'tl' binary (or install it yourself), and verify checksums if available; (2) keep your encrypted DB locked and only unlock it yourself in a terminal—the skill explicitly instructs agents not to attempt unlocking; (3) allow read-only queries if you want summaries, but deny any write operations (sync, import, SQL with --allow-writes, backup restore, etc.) unless you explicitly confirm each action; (4) if you have concerns, try demo mode first (tl demo on) to test behavior with sample data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: treeline-money
Version: 26.4.2101
The Treeline Money skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for a local-first personal finance tool. It includes clear instructions for the AI agent, explicitly forbidding the handling of encryption keys and requiring user confirmation for data-modifying commands. The installation process fetches the 'tl' CLI from a public GitHub repository (treeline-money/treeline), and the tool operates on a local DuckDB database (~/.treeline/treeline.duckdb) without evidence of unauthorized data exfiltration or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe interacting with Treeline Money via its CLI. The only required binary is 'tl' and install metadata points to Treeline's GitHub releases—this is proportional and expected for a CLI-based personal-finance integration.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines activity to running the Treeline CLI. It differentiates read-only commands (allowed to run autonomously) from write commands (explicitly requires user confirmation). It warns not to attempt unlocking encrypted DBs. The ability to run arbitrary SQL (read-only by default) is expected for a local-first finance tool, but is powerful and will access sensitive local data as intended.
Install Mechanism
No install script in code; install metadata uses direct downloads from GitHub releases for official binaries, which is a standard approach. Note: OpenClaw's auto-install will write the binary to disk and the metadata does not include checksums—verifying releases on GitHub or installing manually is recommended.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or external credentials. References to an OS keychain are explanatory (Treeline stores DB keys there) and not a request for secrets from the platform.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent/always-on privileges. It does not modify other skills or global agent settings in the instructions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install treeline-money - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/treeline-money - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
