/install shrimp-skill-install-guard
Description
Performs a five-step guarded skill install with checks for existence, local state, risk, execution, and post-install verification.
Usage Guidance
This package is largely what it says: a local vetter that enumerates files, fetches source metadata, reports red flags, and optionally runs a supplied install command. Before you run it: (1) review scripts/skill-install-guard.py yourself for any surprising behavior (notably it references /home/baiwan/.openclaw/workspace-assistant-shrimp — an unexplained hard-coded path); (2) run in dry-run mode (--dry-run or --stop-before-install) first and inspect the JSON report; (3) never pass unreviewed install commands — the tool will execute the exact command you provide (it disallows shell operators but can still run any binary); (4) run it in an isolated environment if you are concerned about local data exposure; and (5) if you need higher assurance, ask the author why the hard-coded workspace path is present or modify the script to use only explicit, documented local roots.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: shrimp-skill-install-guard
Version: 0.4.3
The skill bundle provides a security-focused installation workflow that performs static analysis and risk assessment on other skills. The core script, `scripts/skill-install-guard.py`, uses regex-based rules to scan for sensitive data access, credentials, and dangerous code patterns (e.g., searching for `~/.ssh`, `eval`, or OpenClaw-specific files like `SOUL.md`). While the tool is designed for defense and includes security features like shell-injection mitigation in its command execution logic, it possesses high-risk capabilities such as executing arbitrary commands via the `--install-cmd` argument and performing network requests to GitHub and ClawHub APIs. These capabilities are necessary for its stated purpose but meet the threshold for a suspicious classification due to the inherent risk of the provided functionality.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim a pre-install vetting flow and the included Python script implements source checks, file enumeration/review, risk scoring, and an optional guarded install — these requirements align with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to enumerate and (for readable text files) read all files in the target skill and optionally run an install command. That stays within the stated vetting scope. Note: the code will also attempt source metadata fetches (network calls) and searches across configured local roots, which is expected for a vetter but should be noted by operators.
Install Mechanism
There is no external install spec; the skill is instruction-plus-scripts (script files are included). No downloads or archive extraction are performed by an installer spec. This is the lowest install-mechanism risk category for a vetter tool.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials, which fits. However the code contains a hard-coded WORKSPACE_ROOT = /home/baiwan/.openclaw/workspace-assistant-shrimp and DEFAULT_LOCAL_ROOTS that will cause it to look in that absolute path and other local skill directories; this embedded path is unexplained and could cause unintended local data collection on systems where that path exists. The script also performs network fetches to gather source metadata and will flag credential-like strings in scanned files (expected for a vetter).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always:true and does not request system-wide configuration changes itself. It can run an operator-supplied install command (run with run_install_command), but that execution is explicitly constrained to direct executable invocations (no shell operators). The ability to run arbitrary install commands is necessary for its purpose but is a potential operational risk if the operator supplies a malicious command.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install shrimp-skill-install-guard - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/shrimp-skill-install-guard - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
