Description
Use when the user mentions Otter, Otter.ai, or wants to find, search, download, export, or manage meeting notes, transcripts, recordings, or audio from calls...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a straightforward wrapper for the Otter.ai command‑line tool. Before installing: ensure the `otter` CLI you use comes from an official/trusted source; prefer letting the CLI store credentials in your OS keychain (keyring) rather than exporting OTTERAI_USERNAME/OTTERAI_PASSWORD as environment variables; if you must use env vars, restrict their scope and lifetime; confirm what `uv tool install otterai-cli` will download and from where; remember the agent will run shell commands using your provided credentials, so only enable this skill if you trust the CLI and the environment where the agent runs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: otterai-cli
Version: 1.1.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for interacting with Otter.ai via the `otterai-cli` tool. It includes standard commands for managing meeting transcripts, speakers, and folders, and handles authentication through environment variables or the system keyring. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious code execution, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description target Otter.ai and the skill requires the `otter` CLI and Otter credentials (OTTERAI_USERNAME, OTTERAI_PASSWORD), which are appropriate and expected for a CLI wrapper that lists, downloads, and manages meeting transcripts.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run otter CLI commands (list, get, download, upload, etc.). It does not ask the agent to access unrelated files, system-wide credentials, or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints. It does reference keyring/config fallback and env vars, which are reasonable for auth.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no embedded install artifacts. The SKILL.md suggests `uv tool install otterai-cli` but there is no bundled installer or download URL to review; the actual `otter` binary must already be present on PATH or installed separately. Verify the source of the otter CLI before installing.
Credentials
Requiring OTTERAI_USERNAME and OTTERAI_PASSWORD is proportionate for a CLI that supports username/password auth. These are sensitive credentials — the skill documents keyring storage and says env vars take precedence, which is consistent with typical CLI behavior.
Persistence & Privilege
No elevated privileges requested (always:false). The skill is user-invocable and can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is normal for skills of this type.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install otterai-cli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/otterai-cli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
