Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: a local journal stored at ~/.journal (or $JOURNAL_DIR). Before installing, review the script (it's included) and be aware it will create and write files in your home folder. There are no network calls or credential requirements. If you will store sensitive personal data, consider encrypting backups or choosing a secure directory. Note: there are minor bugs/rough edges in the script (e.g., a shell arithmetic expression in stats and some awkward date handling) which are functional issues rather than security risks.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: daily-journal
Version: 1.0.0
The daily-journal skill is a legitimate personal productivity tool that manages journal entries locally in the user's home directory (~/.journal). The implementation in scripts/daily_journal.sh uses standard Bash and Python logic to handle file I/O, searching, and statistics without any network activity, data exfiltration, or suspicious execution patterns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The script implements the stated journaling features (write, view, search, mood, gratitude, export, etc.) and stores data in a local directory (default $HOME/.journal). Minor mismatch: SKILL.md lists runtime: python3 while the main executable is a bash script that calls python3 for a few subcommands — not dangerous but slightly inconsistent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the included script operate only on local files in the configurable JOURNAL_DIR (default ~/.journal). The skill does not read unrelated system files, environment secrets, or send data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads are used; the skill is instruction-only with an included shell script. Nothing in the manifest pulls remote code or archives.
Credentials
No required environment variables or credentials are declared. The script optionally honors JOURNAL_DIR to change storage location — a proportional and reasonable config option for this purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/global privileges (always is false). It creates and writes files only under the user's journal directory and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install daily-journal - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/daily-journal - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
