Explore CSV and JSON files with quick queries, filters, and aggregation. Use when inspecting data, running queries, filtering rows, aggregating.
README (SKILL.md)
DataView
A data processing toolkit for ingesting, transforming, querying, and managing data entries from the command line. All operations are logged with timestamps and stored locally.
Commands
Data Operations
Each data command works in two modes: run without arguments to view recent entries, or pass input to record a new entry.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
dataview ingest \x3Cinput> |
Ingest data — record a new ingest entry or view recent ones |
dataview transform \x3Cinput> |
Transform data — record a transformation or view recent ones |
dataview query \x3Cinput> |
Query data — record a query or view recent ones |
dataview filter \x3Cinput> |
Filter data — record a filter operation or view recent ones |
dataview aggregate \x3Cinput> |
Aggregate data — record an aggregation or view recent ones |
dataview visualize \x3Cinput> |
Visualize data — record a visualization or view recent ones |
dataview export \x3Cinput> |
Export data — record an export entry or view recent ones |
dataview sample \x3Cinput> |
Sample data — record a sample or view recent ones |
dataview schema \x3Cinput> |
Schema management — record a schema entry or view recent ones |
dataview validate \x3Cinput> |
Validate data — record a validation or view recent ones |
dataview pipeline \x3Cinput> |
Pipeline management — record a pipeline step or view recent ones |
dataview profile \x3Cinput> |
Profile data — record a profile or view recent ones |
Utility Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
dataview stats |
Show summary statistics — entry counts per category, total entries, disk usage |
dataview export \x3Cfmt> |
Export all data to a file (formats: json, csv, txt) |
dataview search \x3Cterm> |
Search all log files for a term (case-insensitive) |
dataview recent |
Show last 20 entries from activity history |
dataview status |
Health check — version, data directory, entry count, disk usage, last activity |
dataview help |
Show available commands |
dataview version |
Show version (v2.0.0) |
Data Storage
All data is stored locally at ~/.local/share/dataview/:
- Each data command writes to its own log file (e.g.,
ingest.log,transform.log) - Entries are stored as
timestamp|valuepairs (pipe-delimited) - All actions are tracked in
history.logwith timestamps - Export generates files in the data directory (
export.json,export.csv, orexport.txt)
Requirements
- Bash (with
set -euo pipefail) - Standard Unix utilities:
date,wc,du,grep,tail,cat,sed - No external dependencies or API keys required
When to Use
- To log and track data processing operations (ingest, transform, query, etc.)
- To maintain a searchable history of data viewing and analysis activities
- To export accumulated records in JSON, CSV, or plain text format
- As part of larger automation or data inspection workflows
- When you need a lightweight, local-only data operation tracker
Examples
# Record a new ingest entry
dataview ingest "loaded sales_report.csv 2500 rows"
# View recent transform entries
dataview transform
# Record a query
dataview query "top 10 products by revenue"
# Filter data
dataview filter "region=APAC"
# Search across all logs
dataview search "sales"
# Export everything as CSV
dataview export csv
# Check overall statistics
dataview stats
# View recent activity
dataview recent
# Health check
dataview status

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and local-only: it logs actions and stores/exports them under ~/.local/share/dataview and does not ask for credentials or perform network calls in the visible code. Before installing, consider: (1) inspect the complete script file on disk — the script content in the review input was truncated, so confirm the remainder contains no unexpected behavior; (2) avoid writing sensitive data (passwords, API keys, or PII) into dataview entries since they are stored and searchable in plain text and exported to files; (3) the JSON export code uses simple text assembly and may have formatting quirks — verify exported files before sharing. If you need higher assurance, run the script in a sandboxed account or review the full file contents locally prior to installation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: dataview
Version: 2.0.0
The skill is a logging utility for data operations that stores entries in ~/.local/share/dataview/. It contains a flag injection vulnerability in the _search function of scripts/script.sh because the $term variable is passed directly to grep, allowing an attacker to provide flags (e.g., -f /etc/passwd) to read unauthorized files. Additionally, the _export function lacks proper output sanitization when generating JSON and CSV files, which can lead to data injection or corruption if the logged values contain quotes or delimiters.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (DataView: inspect/query/filter/aggregate CSV/JSON) matches the provided SKILL.md and script: commands create/read local logs and produce exports. Required tools (date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat, sed) are exactly the standard utilities the script uses.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only on using local commands and the script implements those commands. The runtime behavior is limited to reading/writing files under the user's HOME data directory and searching those logs — it does not attempt to read system config, other users' data, or call external endpoints in the visible code.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), and the included script is a plain shell script. Nothing is downloaded from external URLs or extracted; no additional packages are installed by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are required. The script relies on HOME to determine the data directory (standard and proportional). There are no requests for unrelated secrets or service tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable; the skill only creates and writes files in its own data directory (~/.local/share/dataview). It does not request elevated privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings in the visible code.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install dataview - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/dataview - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
