Description
Optimize token usage by adopting the compact TOON format for data storage and context.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a coherent format specification and agent guidance for using TOON; it does not contact external services or request credentials. Before installing, consider: 1) The skill encourages storing logs/summaries in .toon files — ensure you are comfortable with the agent writing potentially sensitive data to disk and set appropriate file permissions and retention policies. 2) The claimed ~40% token savings is a guideline — test conversion on representative data to confirm benefits. 3) If you integrate TOON with other tooling, validate converters/parsers for correctness (lossless conversion to/from JSON). Overall the artifact appears consistent and low-risk, but treat any persisted logs as you would other sensitive agent data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toon-adoption-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle introduces a new data format called TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) designed for LLM context optimization. All files, including the `SKILL.md` which contains instructions for the AI agent, are purely descriptive and instructional regarding the TOON format's syntax, usage, and benefits. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, obfuscation, or suspicious supply chain practices. The installation instructions in `README.md` are for manual setup and do not represent runtime execution by the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (TOON format for token efficiency) matches the content: a syntax spec, examples, and agent usage guidelines. No unrelated binaries, environment variables, or install actions are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and README stay within the stated purpose (parsing/generating/storing TOON). They recommend using .toon files for logs, schedules, and context compression; this is expected but worth noting because it encourages the agent to persist potentially sensitive data in a new file format. README also shows copying/unzipping into /a0/usr/skills/, which is a normal agent install path but implies write access to the agent skills directory.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are included (instruction-only). That is the lowest-risk install profile — nothing is downloaded or executed by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill does not request any environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no disproportionate or unexplained secret requests.
Persistence & Privilege
Flags show normal behavior (always: false, user-invocable true). The skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges beyond recommending a location in the agent's skills directory.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toon-adoption-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toon-adoption-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
