Usage Guidance
This package looks like a legitimate forest-plot tool, but the SKILL.md and file manifest are inconsistent. Before installing or enabling it: 1) Inspect the full scripts/main.py (the file is large and was truncated in the manifest) to confirm there are no network calls, secrets exfiltration, or unexpected filesystem access. 2) Note that examples/imports refer to scripts/forest_plotter.py and to 'references/' and 'examples/' directories that are not included—this will likely cause runtime errors; correct import paths or rename files before use. 3) Run it in a sandboxed environment (or a virtualenv) and install dependencies from requirements.txt to verify behavior on sample data. 4) If you plan to let an agent invoke this skill autonomously, be aware it will read input CSV/JSON files and write plot files on disk; confirm that's acceptable. If you need higher assurance, ask the author for a complete, consistent package (matching filenames and including referenced resources) or request provenance/source (homepage, repo) before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: meta-analysis-forest-plotter
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate tool for performing meta-analysis and generating forest plots using standard statistical methods (Fixed-effect and DerSimonian-Laird random-effects). The code in scripts/main.py uses standard scientific libraries (numpy, scipy, matplotlib) to process data and generate visualizations without any signs of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution. A minor documentation inconsistency exists where SKILL.md refers to forest_plotter.py instead of main.py, but this is a functional bug rather than a security risk.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared purpose (generate publication-ready forest plots and meta-analysis stats) matches the included code and listed Python dependencies (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas). The code shows meta-analysis calculations and plotting functionality, which is coherent with the description.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md examples import scripts.forest_plotter and call scripts/forest_plotter.py on the CLI, but the repository contains scripts/main.py (no scripts/forest_plotter.py). SKILL.md also references resources (references/forest-plot-styles.md, examples/sample-plots/) that are not present in the manifest. These mismatches mean the provided runtime instructions may fail or behave differently than documented. The instructions do legitimately require reading input CSV/JSON files and writing plot files; that file I/O is expected for the tool but the mismatched paths increase risk of unexpected behavior.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only install) and no remote downloads; risk from installation mechanisms is low. The included requirements.txt lists standard scientific Python packages consistent with the task.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials and has no config path requirements. The declared needs are proportionate for a local plotting tool.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no indication the skill requests permanent agent privileges or edits other skills. The agent-invocation defaults are unchanged.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install meta-analysis-forest-plotter - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/meta-analysis-forest-plotter - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
