Description
Post-process video files and generate optimized GIFs. Converts webm/mp4
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims (convert video files to GIFs using ffmpeg), but before installing: 1) Confirm ffmpeg and ffprobe are available on the host (the SKILL.md assumes them). 2) Provide explicit input/output paths — the skill's examples use $INPUT_FILE and $OUTPUT_FILE but the registry doesn't declare them. 3) Test the skill on non-sensitive/sample files first because it runs shell commands and accesses local files. 4) Ask the publisher to fix metadata inconsistencies (declare required binaries/env) and confirm the version in SKILL.md vs registry. If you don't want the agent to run arbitrary shell commands, don't enable autonomous invocation for this skill or restrict it to manual invocation only.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-scry-gif-generation
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides legitimate instructions and shell commands for converting video files to GIFs using ffmpeg. The logic in SKILL.md is consistent with its stated purpose, containing standard validation checks and optimization presets without any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description and runtime instructions are coherent: it documents using ffmpeg/ffprobe to convert webm/mp4 to GIFs, provide presets, and verify output. However, the registry metadata lists no required binaries while the SKILL.md repeatedly depends on ffmpeg/ffprobe; that omission is an inconsistency in declared requirements.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains concrete shell snippets that check local files, run file/ffprobe/ffmpeg, and read environment variables ($INPUT_FILE, $OUTPUT_FILE). This is in-scope for a conversion tool, but the SKILL.md expects those env vars to exist while the skill metadata declares none — the agent would need explicit input paths. The instructions also use exit codes and suggest installing ffmpeg; there is no directive to transmit data externally.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. That minimizes install-time risk (nothing downloaded or written by the skill itself).
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials and does not require network auth. However the runtime examples rely on environment variables (INPUT_FILE, OUTPUT_FILE) that are not declared in requires.env in the registry metadata — a mismatch that should be fixed so callers know what inputs are required. No sensitive secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no persistent installs or modifications are requested. The skill does run local shell commands (expected), but it does not request elevated platform privileges or modify other skills/configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-scry-gif-generation - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-scry-gif-generation - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
