Description
Comprehensive Pandas toolkit for construction data analysis. Filter, group, aggregate BIM elements, calculate quantities, merge datasets, and generate report...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent with its purpose: it shows Pandas examples and asks for user-provided data files. Before installing, confirm that you will run it in a controlled Python environment with Pandas (or be prepared to install Pandas). Only provide non-sensitive datasets (or remove PII) because the skill requires filesystem access to read files. If you need stronger isolation, run analyses in a sandboxed environment or virtual environment. If you want additional assurance, review the full SKILL.md/instructions.md for any hidden network calls or commands before using with sensitive data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pandas-construction-analysis
Version: 2.1.0
This skill is classified as benign. It provides a comprehensive Pandas toolkit for construction data analysis, which inherently requires file system access for reading and writing data (CSV, Excel). The `claw.json` file explicitly requests `filesystem` permissions, which is justified by the skill's stated purpose and the code examples in `SKILL.md` (e.g., `pd.read_excel`, `df.to_csv`, `df.to_excel`). There is no evidence of malicious intent, such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts in `SKILL.md` or `instructions.md` that would manipulate the AI agent to perform harmful actions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the requested capabilities: Pandas-based filtering, grouping, aggregation and reporting for construction/BIM data. The declared requirement is only python3 and the skill asks to work with user-supplied CSV/Excel/JSON files — these are proportional to the stated purpose. No unrelated binaries or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and instructions.md show only Pandas examples and runtime steps that operate on user-provided datasets (CSV/Excel/JSON) and produce reports. The guidance explicitly limits processing to data provided by the user. I saw no instructions to read arbitrary system files, access credentials, or transmit data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which minimizes install-time risk. The only runtime dependency implied is Pandas (and python3). The skill does not download or extract code from external URLs. Note: it assumes a Python environment with Pandas available or that the environment operator will install it.
Credentials
No environment variables, secrets, or external credentials are declared or required. The claw.json does list a filesystem permission (expected for reading user data), but that is consistent with a data-processing skill and no excessive credential access is requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and uses the platform defaults for invocation. It does request filesystem access (claw.json), which is appropriate for reading input files; it does not request to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pandas-construction-analysis - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pandas-construction-analysis - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
