Usage Guidance
This skill is a straightforward integration with the CardPointers CLI. Before installing: (1) verify you trust the cardpointers Homebrew tap (review the formula/tap contents) because third‑party taps can run install scripts; (2) expect the CLI to create and read a JWT token at ~/.cardpointers/config when you run 'cardpointers login' — that token grants the CLI access to your CardPointers account, so treat that file as sensitive; (3) no extra credentials are required by the skill itself, but the login flow may use email/password or browser-based SSO (Apple/Google/passkey); (4) if you prefer extra isolation, run the CLI in a sandboxed environment or inspect the tap before installing. If you need me to fetch the brew formula URL or show exact install steps to inspect, I can do that first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: cardpointers Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` file primarily serves as documentation for the `cardpointers` CLI, detailing its commands, options, and common use cases. It requires standard tools like `curl`, `jq`, and `bash`, which are common for CLI interactions but are not instructed to be used maliciously. While a JWT token is stored locally at `~/.cardpointers/config`, there are no instructions for the AI agent to read, exfiltrate, or otherwise misuse this file. The `CARDPOINTERS_API` environment variable is documented as an override, but no malicious endpoint is specified or instructed to be used. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration, persistence mechanisms, or other malicious intent within the provided files.
Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the runtime instructions: the skill just runs the CardPointers CLI to query cards/offers. Declared required binaries (cardpointers, jq) are appropriate. Minor inconsistency: SKILL.md also lists 'curl' and 'bash' as required but the registry metadata only declared cardpointers and jq; this is a small documentation mismatch, not a material capability gap.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to run the cardpointers CLI and related subcommands and to use ~/.cardpointers/config (a JWT token file created on login). All referenced files, variables, and commands are directly relevant to querying the CardPointers service; there are no instructions to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate data elsewhere.
ℹ Install Mechanism
Install spec uses Homebrew formulas: cardpointers/tap/cardpointers and jq. jq is a standard formula; cardpointers is provided via a third‑party tap (cardpointers/tap). Installing from a non-official tap is common for CLI tools but carries moderate risk because taps can include install-time scripts—verify the tap/formula before installing.
✓ Credentials
The skill does not require any credentials or sensitive environment variables. SKILL.md documents optional env vars (CARDPOINTERS_API, CARDPOINTERS_DEBUG, NO_COLOR) that are reasonable for a CLI client; no unexplained SECRET/TOKEN/PASSWORD env vars are requested.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent platform-wide privileges. It stores/reads its own token at ~/.cardpointers/config (normal for a CLI) and does not attempt to change other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install cardpointers
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /cardpointers
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
