/install vx-best-practices
Description
Best practices for using vx effectively. Use when following recommended patterns for tool management, project setup, and team workflows with vx.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a documentation-only guide for vx and appears internally consistent. Before acting on any suggested commands: (1) review and understand commands like 'vx install', 'git commit', and 'vx setup' — don't run them blindly; (2) verify the third-party GitHub Action example (loonghao/vx@main) and prefer pinning to a specific release or commit to reduce supply-chain risk; (3) never paste real secrets into example files shown here — follow your usual secrets management practices; and (4) if you don't use vx in your projects, this skill is not needed. If you want a deeper check, provide the source of the referenced vx tooling or your repository so I can flag any risky commands or unpinned external dependencies.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vx-best-practices
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle consists of documentation and best practices for the 'vx' tool management system. The SKILL.md file provides comprehensive guidance on project setup, security practices (such as checksum verification and auditing), and AI agent integration without any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill name and description match the SKILL.md content: guidance for vx usage, project setup, CI, and team workflows. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or config paths requested that would be out of scope for a documentation-style skill.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are confined to vx-related workflows (vx.toml, vx.lock, vx commands, git, CI config). They do recommend using a GitHub Action (loonghao/vx@main) and run commands like git commit and vx install — appropriate for a how-to doc but these are operational commands users should review before executing. Minor supply-chain note: the example action references the 'main' branch of a third-party repo rather than a pinned release, which is a recommended hardening step.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files — the skill is instruction-only and does not download or write code to disk.
Credentials
The SKILL.md mentions environment variables as examples (e.g., API_KEY, DATABASE_URL) but the skill does not request or require any credentials or secrets. No disproportionate or unrelated credential access is requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request persistent presence or modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other red flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vx-best-practices - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vx-best-practices - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
