/install openclaw-skill-shortcuts-automator
Description
Manage and run macOS Shortcuts from OpenClaw: list, execute, view details, and sign shortcuts for automation via CLI commands.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a simple wrapper around macOS's built-in 'shortcuts' CLI and is internally consistent. Before using it: (1) ensure you're on macOS with the 'shortcuts' tool available, (2) only run shortcuts you trust — shortcuts can execute shell commands and access your files/emails, (3) review or inspect a shortcut with `shortcuts view` before running, (4) be prepared to grant Automation/Accessibility permissions in System Settings if macOS prompts, and (5) if you want to limit risk, require explicit user confirmation before the agent runs any shortcut (especially those from unknown sources).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-skill-shortcuts-automator
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for the native macOS `shortcuts` command-line utility, allowing the agent to list, run, and manage shortcuts. The instructions in SKILL.md and README.md are consistent with the stated purpose and include appropriate security warnings regarding the potential risks of running untrusted shortcuts. No evidence of malicious logic, data exfiltration, or obfuscation was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description promise to list, run, view, and sign macOS Shortcuts; the SKILL.md only instructs using the macOS 'shortcuts' CLI which is exactly what you'd expect for that functionality. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the Shortcuts domain (list/run/view/sign). The guide correctly notes that shortcuts themselves can run shell commands and access personal data; the skill does not itself instruct reading arbitrary system files or exfiltrating data. Users should be aware that running a shortcut may execute arbitrary actions because of the shortcut's own behavior.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself, which is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. This is proportionate for a CLI wrapper that relies on the user's local 'shortcuts' tool and macOS permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or other elevated persistence. It relies on user-invocation (normal) and does not claim to modify other skills or system configs.
