Description
Ubuntu documentation-first workflow for Ubuntu-specific questions, maintenance, updates, upgrades, package management, system administration, service trouble...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and focused: it caches Ubuntu manpages/docs and helps an agent consult authoritative sources before making admin changes. The bundled Python scripts validate URLs (allow only specific Ubuntu domains), prevent path traversal, and write only under the .Ubuntu-Encyclopedia workspace. Before installing, note:
- The skill will create and write files under <cwd>/.Ubuntu-Encyclopedia; avoid running it from a sensitive directory or mounting system config into the workspace.
- Do not store secrets or live credentials in the inventory/notes files (e.g., access.md). The skill does not request credentials, but cached notes are plain files that could contain sensitive information if you add it.
- The SKILL.md permits inspecting live environment state as part of troubleshooting; that is normal for a sysadmin assistant, but review any agent actions it proposes before applying high-impact commands (upgrades, filesystem or network changes).
If you want extra safety, run the scripts manually in a controlled workspace first to confirm behavior, and avoid running them from system-critical directories.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ubuntu-encyclopedia
Version: 1.0.5
The ubuntu-encyclopedia skill bundle provides a structured workflow and utility scripts for an AI agent to consult and cache official Ubuntu documentation. The included Python scripts (cache_doc.py, cache_manpage.py) are designed to fetch content from a strict allowlist of official domains (e.g., manpages.ubuntu.com, ubuntu.com) and include security checks to prevent path traversal and unauthorized URL schemes. The instructions in SKILL.md and workflow.md focus on legitimate system administration tasks and explicitly warn against storing sensitive data in the local cache.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included scripts and SKILL.md: the package provides local caching of Ubuntu manpages/docs and workspace initialization. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or external services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md scopes actions to consulting manpages/docs, caching consulted pages under .Ubuntu-Encyclopedia/, and inspecting live environment state when needed. 'Inspect live environment state' is broad but appropriate for an admin troubleshooting skill; the instructions do not direct reading of unrelated system secrets or arbitrary files beyond the declared workspace.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads; code is instruction-only with bundled Python scripts. There are no external archives or untrusted URLs in the install process.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The scripts operate on a workspace directory in the current working directory rather than system config, so requested access is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated persistence. It writes only to .Ubuntu-Encyclopedia in the working directory and does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. The skill can be invoked autonomously (platform default) which is expected for skills of this type.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ubuntu-encyclopedia - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ubuntu-encyclopedia - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.5
Security hardening: restrict cache fetches to approved docs URLs, block traversal/query writes, tighten cache-path handling, and add explicit guidance not to store plaintext secrets in encyclopedia notes.
v1.0.4
Add ignore rules for local artifacts and harden doc/manpage cache URL validation against userinfo, direct IPs, and explicit ports.
v1.0.3
Refine activation wording so Ubuntu-specific admin and distro semantics trigger cleanly without generic Linux/shell spillover.
v1.0.2
Security fix: validate cache_doc.py URLs before fetch and restrict caching to allowed HTTPS docs hosts.
v1.0.1
Add OpenClaw manifest metadata for homepage, emoji, and Linux targeting.
v1.0.0
Initial public release
