/install pre-commit-config-validator
Description
Validate .pre-commit-config.yaml files for structure, repository entries, hook definitions, local hooks, and best practices. 23 rules across 5 categories.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and only runs a local Python script to validate pre-commit config files; it does not request credentials or install remote packages. However, the source/homepage are unknown — you are executing code from an unverified origin. Before installing or running it, review the script (scripts/precommit_validator.py) yourself or run it in a sandboxed environment to confirm there are no unwanted behaviors (network access, unexpected file I/O). If you plan to let an agent invoke it autonomously, remember it will be able to run that script on any file paths you or the agent pass to it, so avoid passing sensitive files unless you trust the code.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pre-commit-config-validator
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate utility for validating .pre-commit-config.yaml files against a set of 23 structural and best-practice rules. The implementation in scripts/precommit_validator.py is written in clean Python, uses safe YAML loading practices (yaml.safe_load), and contains no network activity, file system modifications, or unauthorized data access. The SKILL.md instructions are strictly aligned with the tool's stated purpose and do not contain any prompt injection attempts.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included assets: SKILL.md documents running scripts/precommit_validator.py to validate .pre-commit-config.yaml files and the repository contains a ~25KB Python script that implements those checks.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the included Python script against specific files (validate, repos, hooks, lint, formats). The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system state, environment variables, or to transmit data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with bundled script). The script appears to use only Python stdlib (argparse, json, re, pathlib, etc.) and provides a minimal YAML parser fallback, so there is no third-party package download or archive extraction in the install process.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The included script takes file paths as arguments and does not request or appear to need secrets for its stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request any elevated, persistent privileges. It does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings according to the provided files and metadata.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pre-commit-config-validator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pre-commit-config-validator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
