Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: local codebase searches using grep/find. It does not request credentials or perform network calls. Before installing or running it on sensitive systems, review the included scripts (they're small and readable). Note two practical cautions: (1) the scripts create ~/.local/share/code-searcher but don't currently store search results there (harmless but inconsistent with the README); (2) the scripts use unquoted shell variables in a few grep/find calls, which can mishandle patterns with spaces or unusual characters—prefer passing safe, validated paths/patterns or improve the scripts to quote arguments if you plan to use them with untrusted input. If you need stricter guarantees, run the skill in a constrained environment or inspect/modify the scripts to add proper quoting and any logging/persistence behavior you expect.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: code-searcher Version: 3.0.0 The skill contains multiple shell injection vulnerabilities in `scripts/script.sh` because user-supplied arguments (patterns and directories) are passed unquoted to commands like `grep` and `find` (e.g., in `cmd_find` and `cmd_grep`). Additionally, `scripts/the_silver_searcher.sh` is a misleading placeholder script that references a popular third-party tool (The Silver Searcher) without providing any actual functionality. While these issues represent significant security flaws and poor practices, there is no clear evidence of intentional malicious behavior or data exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (search codebases) matches the implementation: scripts/script.sh provides find, todo, refs, stats, recent, and grep using grep/find/wc. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the included scripts. The scripts operate on filesystem paths provided by the user and create a data directory (~/.local/share/code-searcher). They do not read unrelated system config or transmit data off-host. Minor mismatch: SKILL.md states 'Data stored in ~/.local/share/code-searcher/', but the script only creates that directory and does not persist search results there.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only plus local scripts included in the bundle. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk beyond creating the data directory when invoked.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It references $HOME to create a local data directory, which is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special privileges. The skill does not modify other skills or system-wide settings; its only persistent action is creating a directory in the user's home when run.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install code-searcher
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /code-searcher
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
