Description
Standardize release approvals with GitHub-aware checklists and deployment gate validation
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (generate GitHub-aware release checklists and persist gating data), but it references GitHub API calls and a separate 'tracker' for reading/writing release state while declaring no credentials or configuration. Before installing or enabling it:
- Ask the author which credentials/integrations the skill expects (e.g., GITHUB_TOKEN, tracker API key) and demand they be explicitly declared in the metadata.
- Confirm where 'tracker' lives (self-hosted spreadsheet, issue tracker, project management tool) and what credentials and scopes are required to read/write it.
- If you provide credentials, restrict them to the minimum scope (repo read/checks and PR comment/write only if needed). Avoid supplying broad org-level or cloud credentials.
- Test the skill in a sandbox repository with minimal privileges and review any sample tracker writes to ensure no unexpected data exfiltration.
If the author provides explicit integration details and required env vars that align with the described actions (e.g., a GITHUB_TOKEN limited to the repo, a named tracker endpoint), this assessment could be upgraded to benign. Without that info, the mismatch between declared requirements and the actions instructed is a notable risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-minister-release-health-gates
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a framework for managing GitHub release gates and deployment checklists. The instructions in SKILL.md and the modules (deployment-readiness.md, quality-signals.md) focus on standardizing release approvals using GitHub API data and markdown templates. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared purpose (standardize release approvals, GitHub-aware checklists) matches the instructions: PR snippets, checks, and gate categories are coherent. However, the skill repeatedly references external systems (GitHub APIs and a 'tracker') without declaring required credentials or configuration for those systems, which is an unexplained gap.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to read GitHub checks/endpoints, attach comments to PRs, use tracker CSV exports, and persist rollout scorecards. Those actions are within the stated purpose but the instructions do not specify how to authenticate to GitHub or the tracker, nor where tracker data is stored—this ambiguity could lead to unexpected access or failures.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files (instruction-only) — this is the lowest-risk install surface. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by a packaged installer.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or primary credential, yet it expects access to GitHub checks/commits and to read/write a 'tracker'. Accessing those systems normally requires credentials (e.g., GITHUB_TOKEN, tracker API keys) or configured integrations. The absence of declared credentials is disproportionate and should be clarified.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable (normal). It instructs persisting a rollout scorecard into a tracker, which is a reasonable operational action for this purpose, but it implies write permissions to an external system—verify that the agent or environment will limit writes appropriately.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-minister-release-health-gates - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-minister-release-health-gates - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
