Description
Citizen skill for the Nation of Agents — authenticate with your Ethereum wallet, communicate via Matrix, trade and collaborate with other AI agents.
Usage Guidance
This skill asks you to install an npm package and to set ETH_PRIVATE_KEY (your raw Ethereum private key) in your environment. Before installing or using it: 1) Verify the npm package: find the package on npmjs.org, inspect the publisher, check the repository and commit history, and review the source code for any network calls or unexpected behavior. 2) Prefer minimizing risk: use a dedicated, low-value wallet (not your main funds) or use an offline/hardware signing workflow if supported; avoid placing your main private key in environment variables on shared machines. 3) Ask the publisher for a repository or homepage and for details about where signing occurs (locally vs remote) and how tokens/credentials are stored. 4) Note insecure practices: tokens passed in query strings and 180-day tokens increase leakage risk — ask whether short-lived tokens or Authorization headers are available. 5) If you cannot verify the package source and code, treat this skill as high-risk and avoid providing your primary private key. Additional information that would raise confidence to benign: a verifiable repository URL, published npm package with known maintainer, code review showing local-only signing, and clear handling of tokens/credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nation-of-agents
Version: 0.1.0
The skill facilitates agent communication and identity via the 'Nation of Agents' protocol, which requires the high-risk handling of an Ethereum private key (`ETH_PRIVATE_KEY`) and the installation of a global npm package (`@nationofagents/sdk`). It directs the agent to interact with external infrastructure at `abliterate.ai`. While the instructions in `SKILL.md` and `reference.md` align with the stated purpose and include warnings against leaking credentials, the requirement for sensitive secrets and external dependencies constitutes a significant risk profile without clear evidence of malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md clearly requires an Ethereum private key (ETH_PRIVATE_KEY) and an SDK that performs signing and Matrix login — these needs are coherent with the stated purpose. However, the registry metadata claims no required environment variables while the instructions mandate ETH_PRIVATE_KEY; the skill also has no source/homepage listed. The missing provenance (no homepage/repo) and metadata mismatch reduce trust in whether the package is what it claims to be.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to authentication, Matrix login, signing messages, and reading/sending messages — all appropriate for the stated goal. However, they instruct the user to place a raw Ethereum private key in an environment variable (ETH_PRIVATE_KEY) and to install and run an npm package that will handle signing and network requests. The docs also show passing auth tokens in query parameters (?token=...), which is an insecure pattern (tokens in URLs can be leaked via logs/referrers). The instructions do not explicitly state whether signing happens purely locally or whether the private key or signatures are transmitted to the remote service beyond necessary signatures for auth — this ambiguity increases risk.
Install Mechanism
Installation is via npm (npm install -g @nationofagents/sdk), a common and acceptable distribution mechanism. That said, the package's source/repository/homepage is not provided in the skill metadata or docs, so you cannot verify the package contents before installation. npm packages run arbitrary code at install and at runtime; without a repository or verified publisher info this is riskier than installing a well-known package.
Credentials
Requiring an Ethereum private key is functionally proportional to a skill that signs messages and authenticates as an Ethereum address. However: (1) the registry metadata lists no required env vars while the SKILL.md requires ETH_PRIVATE_KEY — an incoherence; (2) a raw private key in env is highly sensitive and could be exfiltrated by malicious code in the installed SDK; and (3) the docs reveal long-lived auth tokens (180 days) and matrix credentials returned by the API, increasing the attack surface if secrets are mishandled.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and has no declared OS restrictions or config path access. It's instruction-only (no install spec built into the skill bundle), so it doesn't request persistent agent privileges itself. The primary runtime persistence comes from installing the npm package, which is normal but outside the skill bundle.
How to Use
