Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only, Windows-focused helper for starting and locating vvvv gamma. It will guide an agent to read Program Files, %LOCALAPPDATA%/%USERPROFILE% locations and the HKLM Uninstall registry keys to find InstallLocation — these reads are expected for the stated purpose. There are no network calls, downloads, or credential requests. If you’re comfortable allowing an agent to examine your local vvvv installation paths and registry (read-only), this skill is coherent; if you prefer to avoid any registry/filesystem access, do not install or invoke it. Also note this targets Windows paths (C:\Program Files, HKLM), so behavior is OS-specific.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vvvv-startup
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides legitimate instructions and reference material for launching and configuring the vvvv gamma visual programming environment. It includes standard filesystem paths, command-line arguments, and logic for detecting installations via the Windows Registry or filesystem (SKILL.md, cli-reference.md) without any signs of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the content: the skill documents CLI arguments, filesystem locations, package-repo flags, and methods to locate an installed vvvv gamma. Nothing requested (no env vars, no installs) is extraneous to this goal.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs reading Windows registry uninstall keys and scanning Program Files / user folders to find vvvv installations and describes exactly which files/paths to use. Those actions are directly relevant to locating and launching vvvv; there is no unrelated file access or data-exfiltration behavior described.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or bundled code is present (instruction-only), so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and its instructions do not reference secrets or external services. It asks to read common local paths and registry keys which are appropriate for finding a local installation.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request permanent presence or special privileges. It does instruct operations (filesystem/registry reads) that require local agent permission when invoked, which is expected for this use case.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vvvv-startup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vvvv-startup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
