Description
Send X/Twitter posts to Kindle for distraction-free reading. Use when user shares an X/Twitter link and wants to read it on Kindle, or asks to send a tweet/thread to their Kindle device.
Usage Guidance
This skill could do what it promises, but it asks you to provide sensitive credentials (Gmail app password) and recommends storing them in a plaintext TOOLS.md file — while the skill metadata does not declare any required credentials. Before installing or using it: (1) prefer using a dedicated Gmail App Password or an SMTP relay account created just for this purpose, not your primary account; (2) do NOT store credentials in an unencrypted markdown file — use a secure secrets manager or the platform's secret store; (3) be aware that api.fxtwitter.com (a third-party proxy) will receive the tweet content you fetch — if tweets are private or sensitive, avoid sending them through such proxies; (4) ask the publisher to update the skill metadata to declare required credentials (e.g., SMTP user, SMTP app password, KINDLE_EMAIL) so you can evaluate the scope before giving access. If the publisher cannot or will not make those changes, treat the skill as risky and avoid giving it credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: x-kindle Version: 1.0.0 The skill's purpose is to convert X/Twitter posts to Kindle-readable documents and send them via email. This involves making an API call to fxtwitter.com and sending an email via SMTP using user-provided credentials (including an App Password). All described actions and required capabilities, such as network access and handling of SMTP credentials, are directly aligned with the stated purpose. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration beyond the scope of the task, malicious execution, or other harmful behaviors in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The described functionality (fetch a tweet, format it, email it to a Kindle address) is coherent for an "X to Kindle" skill. Using an HTTP API to fetch tweet data and SMTP to deliver to the Kindle is expected. However the choice of a third-party proxy API (api.fxtwitter.com) introduces an external dependency that will see the fetched content; that should be explicit in the metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs fetching tweet content from api.fxtwitter.com and sending mail via SMTP, and tells users to store Gmail app passwords and the Kindle address in TOOLS.md. It therefore requires the agent (or user) to handle secrets and to contact a third-party service — actions not reflected in the declared requirements. Instructing plaintext storage of credentials in a markdown file is insecure and broadens data exposure.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill — so there is no installer or downloaded code to evaluate. This minimizes on-disk execution risk.
Credentials
The metadata lists no required env vars or credentials, but the runtime instructions clearly require SMTP credentials (Gmail app password) and the user's Kindle email. That mismatch is a red flag: secrets are necessary for operation but weren't declared. Additionally, instructions recommend storing secrets in TOOLS.md (plaintext), which is disproportionate and insecure.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true and has no install-time persistence or modifications to other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but that alone is not an additional red flag here.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install x-kindle
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /x-kindle
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
