Description
Research a topic using the browser then write a complete blog post saved as a .md file in ~/blogs. Use when the user provides a subject and wants a full, hum...
Usage Guidance
This skill looks coherent for its purpose, but check a few operational details before installing: 1) Confirm your agent platform provides the `openclaw browser start` command the SKILL.md mandates — the skill expects a managed browser and will insist on that command. 2) Be aware it will create and write files in ~/blogs; ensure you are comfortable with that location and that filenames (slugs) are sanitized to avoid accidental overwrites or path traversal. 3) The skill performs live web research (Google, Reddit, Hacker News) — if you have privacy concerns, review how browsing logs and fetched content are handled by your agent. 4) The skill has many strict “CRITICAL NON-NEGOTIABLE” style rules and requires a separate `re-blog-meta` skill to handle titles; install and test in a safe sandbox run first to verify the workflow (especially title handling and filename behavior). 5) No credentials or external installs are requested, which reduces risk, but always verify the agent does not expose sensitive browsing data or write unintended files when you run the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: re-blog-writer
Version: 1.1.2
The blog-writer skill is a legitimate tool designed to research topics via a managed browser and generate structured blog posts saved to a local directory (~/blogs). The instructions in SKILL.md and the reference files (research.md, structure.md, writing-style.md) focus entirely on content quality, specific stylistic constraints (e.g., no em dashes, lowercase 'i'), and research methodology without any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or unauthorized system access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the instructions: research via a browser and write a .md file to ~/blogs. One minor mismatch: SKILL.md insists on running the platform command `openclaw browser start`, but the registry metadata lists no required binaries or explicit dependency on that command. That is plausible (the platform may provide the command), but the skill should have declared that dependency so callers know the runtime requirement.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions stay within the stated purpose: open a managed browser, research Google/Reddit/Hacker News, take notes, and produce a post saved to ~/blogs. The skill does not instruct reading arbitrary local files or pulling unrelated environment variables. It does specify many strict writing rules and non-negotiables, but those are stylistic rather than scope creep.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, so nothing is written to disk by an installer. That lowers install risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The operations it needs (web browsing and writing a file in the user's home) are proportionate to its stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges. It does instruct the agent to create and write files under ~/blogs, which is a reasonable capability for a writer tool, but users should expect the skill can create and overwrite files in that directory.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install re-blog-writer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/re-blog-writer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
