/install remote-desktop
Description
Connect to remote desktops via RDP, VNC, and SSH X11 with secure tunneling and troubleshooting.
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent with its stated purpose. Before installing or using it: 1) Expect the agent to suggest and run commands (including sudo-level commands for firewall/ssh service fixes) — review and approve commands before executing. 2) The skill will offer to save host profiles under ~/remote-desktop/ — only approve saving non-sensitive metadata (host, user, tunnel flags); do not save passwords. Prefer system keyring for credentials. 3) The SKILL.md references tools like xfreerdp and vncviewer that are not declared as required binaries; install those client/server utilities yourself when needed. 4) Verify the skill author/source (homepage/owner) if you have trust concerns — this skill contains no hidden network endpoints or secret harvesting behaviors, but you should still inspect any files it creates and only grant permission to save configs when you understand what will be stored.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: remote-desktop
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed to assist users with remote desktop connections (RDP, VNC, SSH X11). It explicitly prioritizes security, instructing the agent to always prefer SSH tunneling, never save passwords in plain text, and only save host configurations with explicit user consent. All commands and instructions provided are standard for remote access and system troubleshooting, and the documentation includes strong guardrails against malicious actions, such as not making network requests itself or accessing memory outside its designated directory. There is no evidence of intentional harmful behavior, data exfiltration, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe remote-desktop helpers and the SKILL.md only asks for ssh to exist and explains using RDP/VNC/xfreerdp/vncviewer/ssh; this is coherent. Note: the skill references other client binaries (xfreerdp, vncviewer, vncserver, x11vnc, etc.) but declares only 'ssh' as required — that is reasonable since ssh is central for tunneling, but users should expect to install those viewers/servers themselves when needed.
Instruction Scope
All runtime instructions stay within the declared purpose: showing connection commands, tunneling, troubleshooting, and saving host profiles under ~/remote-desktop/. The instructions reference system files (e.g., /etc/ssh/sshd_config) and administrative commands (ufw, systemctl) which are appropriate for troubleshooting network/service issues; they do not instruct reading unrelated secrets or contacting external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — lowest-risk delivery. Nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself beyond the described local memory/config files (created only with user consent).
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials. It does persist host/profile metadata to ~/remote-desktop/ when the user consents. Saved profiles may contain hostnames, usernames, and tunnel command strings (which could indirectly reveal network topology); the SKILL.md explicitly forbids saving passwords, which is appropriate. Recommend using system keyring for any credentials and review saved files before trusting them.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true. The skill only stores files under its own ~/remote-desktop/ directory and only after asking the user. It does not request elevated platform privileges by default or modify other skills/configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install remote-desktop - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/remote-desktop - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
