Description
Log anything fast and find it later with search and export. Use when running lookups, checking entries, converting formats, generating summaries.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: a simple offline logger/search/export tool that keeps data locally at ~/.local/share/spell. Before installing or using it: 1) review and, if needed, audit scripts/script.sh locally (it will append whatever you type to plaintext log files); 2) be careful not to enter passwords, API keys, or other secrets into entries (they will be stored unencrypted); 3) note there are no install steps provided — you may need to make scripts/script.sh executable and place it on your PATH (or adapt the SKILL.md commands); 4) optional: restrict permissions on the data dir (chmod 700 ~/.local/share/spell) if you want to limit access. Minor technical notes: the export JSON newline handling and search behavior could be improved (e.g., grep option handling for terms starting with '-') but these are implementation issues rather than security red flags.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: spell
Version: 2.0.0
The SKILL.md file contains raw shell command interpolation sequences (e.g., `$(du ...)` and `$(cat ...)`) directly within the instruction table. While these specific commands are limited to calculating disk usage and line counts within the tool's own data directory (~/.local/share/spell/), providing executable shell syntax in markdown intended for an AI agent is a high-risk pattern that could be leveraged for command injection. The underlying script.sh is a benign logging utility that lacks any evidence of intentional malice, data exfiltration, or persistence.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim a local logging/search utility. The included script implements exactly that behavior (creates ~/.local/share/spell, logs inputs, provides search/export/status). No unrelated credentials, services, or binaries are required.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md describes running a 'spell' CLI and documents commands that match the script's behavior. Minor mismatch: the repository includes scripts/script.sh but no install instructions to make a 'spell' command available in PATH. The runtime instructions do not attempt to read unrelated system files or env vars beyond HOME/DATA_DIR. The tool will log whatever the user provides — so users should avoid entering secrets (logs are stored in plaintext).
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), which is lower risk. The package contains a shell script (no remote downloads or extracted archives). Nothing in the manifest attempts to fetch or execute remote code.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and indeed uses only HOME (to build a local data dir). No keys, tokens, or unrelated env-vars are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent platform-wide privileges. It writes files only under the user's home (~/.local/share/spell) and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install spell - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/spell - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
