README (SKILL.md)

Python Support

Quick Start

Use this skill for all Python-related operations in OpenClaw.

Environment Check

Verify Python environment:

python3 --version
pip3 --list
which python3

Running Scripts

Always use absolute paths and specify Python interpreter explicitly:

python3 /path/to/script.py

Dependency Management

Install packages safely:

pip3 install --quiet package-name

For one-off scripts requiring dependencies, use inline installation with verification:

import subprocess
import sys

def ensure_package(package):
    try:
        __import__(package)
    except ImportError:
        subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "--quiet", package])

Best Practices

  1. Shebang: Use #!/usr/bin/env python3 for executable scripts
  2. Error handling: Always include try/except blocks for external operations
  3. Encoding: Specify encoding="utf-8" for all file operations
  4. Paths: Use pathlib.Path for cross-platform path handling
  5. Output: Prefer JSON or machine-readable formats for structured output

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a set of Python best-practice instructions and a style guide. Before using it, be aware that the guidance includes running pip install at runtime (including an example function that calls pip via subprocess). Installing packages dynamically can execute arbitrary code and access the network, so only install trusted, pinned packages, prefer using isolated virtual environments (venv/virtualenv), and consider running such operations in a sandbox. Also note two referenced docs (testing-patterns.md, debugging-tips.md) are missing from the package — verify the full documentation if you rely on those sections.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: python-support Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides standard Python environment management, dependency handling, and coding best practices for OpenClaw agents. The instructions in SKILL.md and references/style-guide.md are aligned with the stated purpose of supporting Python development, and no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Python support) matches the SKILL.md content: environment checks, running scripts, dependency management, linting/testing guidance and a style guide. The skill does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within Python tooling and best practices, but they explicitly recommend installing packages at runtime (pip install via subprocess). Runtime installs are expected for dependency management but allow arbitrary package code execution and network access—this is inherent to the task and should be handled cautiously. SKILL.md references additional reference files (testing-patterns.md, debugging-tips.md) that are not present in the package manifest.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files beyond documentation. Nothing is written to disk by the skill itself during installation.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill does not require access to unrelated systems or secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
Default privileges (not always: true) and autonomous invocation allowed (platform default). The skill does not request permanent presence or system-wide changes.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install python-support
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /python-support
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
