Description
Reference tool for devtools — covers intro, quickstart, patterns and more. Quick lookup for Whois Checker concepts, best practices, and implementation patterns.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a simple local reference tool and is internally consistent. If you plan to install it: (1) review the scripts/script.sh contents (already benign: only prints docs) and run it in a sandbox or container if you want to be extra cautious; (2) note a minor non-security inconsistency — the script's VERSION is 4.0.0 while registry lists 4.0.1 — which looks like a packaging/versioning bug rather than malicious behavior; (3) avoid granting any additional credentials or environment variables to this skill unless future versions explicitly require them and you understand why. If you need higher assurance, ask the maintainer for a signed release or run the code in an isolated environment before trusting it in production.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: whois-checker
Version: 4.0.1
The 'whois-checker' skill is a static documentation reference tool providing information on devtools concepts. The implementation in `scripts/script.sh` consists entirely of bash functions that output hardcoded text via heredocs, with no network activity, file system modifications, or sensitive data access, aligning perfectly with the stated purpose in `SKILL.md`.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Whois Checker reference tool) match the provided assets: an instruction-only SKILL.md and a local shell script that prints reference documentation. There are no unexpected env vars, binaries, or external services required.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly states all output is plain-text via heredoc and no external API calls or network access are needed. The included scripts/script.sh only prints embedded documentation and does not read files, environment variables, or make network calls.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only with an auxiliary script). No downloads, package installs, or extract operations are specified — the script is shipped in the bundle and nothing is written to disk beyond what the platform already does when installing the skill.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill does not access or declare secrets; the requested privilege surface is minimal and proportional to a local reference tool.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated privileges. It does not modify other skills or system-wide configuration and contains no install-time hooks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install whois-checker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/whois-checker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
