Description
Automation skill for Cline.
README (SKILL.md)
name: cline description: > Run the local Cline CLI to plan/build/code and return the output. requirements:
- command: cline description: Cline CLI must be installed and on PATH usage:
- title: Run Cline headless command: cline -y "\x3CTASK>" notes: | Use for coding, scaffolding, debugging, and multi-step plans. Keep prompts short and task-oriented. examples:
- 'cline -y "Create hello.sh that prints date and uname -a."'
- 'cline -y "Refactor this repo: add README and scripts folder."' safety:
- Never paste secrets.
- Ask before destructive commands.
Usage Guidance
This skill will run whatever your locally installed 'cline' binary does. Before installing: (1) ensure the 'cline' binary on your system is the legitimate tool you expect (check origin/signature), (2) be cautious because the skill uses '-y' which auto-confirms actions — avoid or remove '-y' for tasks that could modify files or systems, and (3) do not grant the agent broad autonomous authority to run destructive tasks; require explicit confirmation for any change-making operations or run the CLI in a sandboxed/test environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cline
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides a wrapper for the Cline CLI using the '-y' flag, which enables autonomous, non-interactive command execution and file system modifications. While this aligns with the stated purpose in SKILL.md, it introduces high-risk capabilities by allowing a nested agent to perform arbitrary system actions without per-command user oversight, fitting the criteria for risky capabilities plausibly needed for the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim 'Automation skill for Cline' and the SKILL.md require the local 'cline' command on PATH — this is proportionate and expected.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to running 'cline -y "<TASK>"' and do not request unrelated files or credentials. Caveat: the SKILL.md mandates the '-y' (auto-confirm) flag while also saying 'Ask before destructive commands' — this is an internal inconsistency because '-y' will auto-accept prompts and could permit destructive actions if tasks are mis-specified. Also, because the skill runs a local CLI, the actual surface (file/network access) depends on what that binary does; the skill itself does not request those accesses explicitly.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). Nothing will be downloaded or written by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested — proportional to an instruction-only wrapper around a local CLI.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (default). This is normal for an invocable skill and the skill does not request elevated persistence or modification of other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cline - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cline - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
