/install eightctl
Description
Control Eight Sleep pods (status, temperature, alarms, schedules).
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable using an unofficial third-party CLI with your Eight Sleep account credentials and device controls. Prefer a pinned/reviewed eightctl version, protect the config file and EIGHTCTL_* environment variables, and require explicit confirmation before any command that changes temperature, alarms, schedules, power state, audio, or base position.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: eightctl
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It describes a tool for controlling Eight Sleep pods and provides standard installation instructions using `go install` from a specified GitHub repository (`github.com/steipete/eightctl/cmd/eightctl@latest`). The `SKILL.md` content is straightforward, outlining usage and authentication methods without any evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution beyond standard package installation, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The instructions are clearly aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Use of Eight Sleep credentials through config or environment variables is inherent to the advertised functionality and is disclosed, but users should understand it grants control of their pod/account through an unofficial API client.
Install Mechanism
Install metadata fetches github.com/steipete/eightctl/cmd/eightctl@latest, which is purpose-aligned but mutable and not pinned to a reviewed version.
Instruction Scope
The skill discloses authentication sources and device-control commands, and it explicitly says to confirm temperature and alarm changes; other state-changing commands should also be treated as user-directed actions.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact contains only a Markdown skill file and does not define background workers, services, persistence hooks, privilege escalation, or hidden scripts.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is Eight Sleep pod control, and the listed commands for status, temperature, alarms, schedules, audio, and base controls match that purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install eightctl - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/eightctl - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
