Description
Upgraded to https://clawhub.ai/tyxiang/ai-agent-email-skill and no longer maintains this version.
Usage Guidance
This package appears to be a deprecated placeholder pointing to a new location and does not implement any email functionality. It is not harmful but also not useful: installing it won't provide an email skill. If you need an email integration, install the maintained skill at the URL in the description and verify what credentials (SMTP/API keys) it requires before granting them. If you expected this skill to work, treat it as broken/abandoned rather than malicious. If you want a fuller security evaluation, provide the newer skill's SKILL.md or any code files so those can be reviewed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tyxiang-email-skill
Version: 1.0.3
The skill bundle is a placeholder or deprecation notice that contains no executable code or functional instructions. It simply directs users to a newer version of the skill via a URL in SKILL.md and contains standard metadata in _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is named 'email-skill' but the SKILL.md only contains a one-line deprecation/upgrade notice and no capabilities, APIs, or required credentials. Someone expecting an email integration would legitimately need SMTP/API credentials and runtime instructions; those are absent, so the declared purpose does not match the actual contents.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are effectively empty (just a name and a note that this version is deprecated). There are no commands, no guidance on what the agent should do, and no references to files, env vars, or external endpoints. This makes the skill non-functional and ambiguous about intended behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). This minimizes risk from downloads or executed installers.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no evidence of disproportionate access requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify configs, and has default invocation settings. There are no indications it would gain elevated or persistent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tyxiang-email-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tyxiang-email-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
