Marco Polo Test Skill\r

Purpose\r

\r This skill provides a minimal but verifiable interaction pattern to confirm that OpenClaw correctly loads and invokes skills. It is designed to be completely safe, stateless, and free of external dependencies.\r \r

Core Behavior\r

\r When a user's message contains the word "marco" (case‑insensitive, as a standalone word or part of a sentence), the skill responds with polo\r \r \r

Usage Examples\r

\r | User input | Skill response |\r |------------|----------------|\r | marco | polo |\r | Marco! | polo |\r | Hello, marco! | Hello! 👋 How can I help you today? polo |\r \r

Testing Workflow\r

Load the skill – Place this SKILL.md in the appropriate OpenClaw skills directory.\r
Start an OpenClaw instance – Ensure skills are enabled.\r
Send a message containing "marco" – For example, type marco or Hey, marco!.\r
Verify the response – The instance should reply with something including polo.\r \r If the instance does not respond with polo, the skill is not being loaded or triggered correctly.

Usage Guidance

This skill is extremely small and self-contained: its SKILL.md says it only looks for the word "marco" and replies with "polo." Because it is instruction-only and requests nothing, the practical risk is very low. If you prefer extra caution, inspect the SKILL.md yourself (you already have it) and test the skill in an isolated or development instance before enabling it in production. Note the source is unknown — while the content here is trivial and benign, avoid installing unknown skills that request credentials or include install scripts without review.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: marco-polo-test Version: 1.0.1 The 'marco-polo-test' skill is a simple diagnostic tool designed to verify that the OpenClaw agent can correctly load and trigger skills. It contains no executable code or external dependencies, and its instructions in SKILL.md are limited to a harmless text-based response ('polo') when the word 'marco' is detected. There are no indicators of malicious intent or security vulnerabilities.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name and description claim a minimal 'marco'→'polo' test; the skill declares no binaries, env vars, or installs and the SKILL.md describes exactly that behavior. All requested resources are consistent with the stated purpose.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only a small, well-scoped behavior (respond with 'polo' when input contains 'marco') and simple installation instructions (place SKILL.md in skills directory). It does not instruct reading unrelated files, accessing network endpoints, or exfiltrating data.

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — instruction-only skills have minimal surface area and nothing is written to disk by an installer.

✓ Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths; that is proportionate to its trivial function.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Defaults are used (always:false, agent invocation allowed). The skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges and does not modify other skills or system settings.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install marco-polo-test
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /marco-polo-test
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
