Description
Hire humans for physical-world tasks via RentAHuman.ai. Search available humans by skill, post bounties, start conversations, and coordinate real-world work....
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it promises (search and hire people via rentahuman.ai) but you should take these precautions before installing or using it: - Inspect the provided script (scripts/rentahuman.mjs) yourself: it is readable and makes API calls only to rentahuman.ai, but it also generates and stores a private Ed25519 keypair under ~/.rentahuman-identities. If you don't want persisted keys, don't run the identity-creating commands. - Be aware the skill will write sensitive files to your home directory (private keys). Check the folder permissions (the script sets 0o700 for the directory and 0o600 for files) and remove or rotate keys on uninstall. - Only provide RENTAHUMAN_API_KEY if you trust the publisher and the service; store the API key in a restricted environment and rotate it after testing. Do not reuse a high-privilege key across unrelated services. - Manually review SKILL.md for the detected unicode-control characters (prompt-injection) and remove them before use. Treat that as a red flag and ask the publisher to clarify. - If you plan to allow autonomous agent invocation, recognize the skill can act with stored identity + API key to post bounties or message humans; limit autonomous scope or run in a sandbox until you are comfortable. - If unsure about provenance (source is "unknown"), verify the homepage/owner and prefer obtaining the official client from the vendor (rentahuman.ai) or their official repo instead of installing unvetted skill bundles. If you want, I can extract and show the exact lines where the script writes identity files and signs requests, or produce a sanitized version that avoids creating persistent key material.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: rentahuman Version: 1.7.0 The rentahuman skill bundle is a legitimate integration for the RentAHuman.ai marketplace, allowing AI agents to hire humans for physical tasks. The core logic in `scripts/rentahuman.mjs` is a well-structured, zero-dependency Node.js script that manages cryptographic identities and API requests using standard libraries. While the skill includes high-privilege capabilities such as escrow management and prepaid card access (documented in `references/API.md`), these features are consistent with the service's stated purpose and include safety-oriented instructions like mandatory 'dryRun' previews for users.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with functionality: searches are unauthenticated and messaging/bounties require RENTAHUMAN_API_KEY and node, which is reasonable. However the packaged script writes cryptographic identity files to ~/.rentahuman-identities (creating private keys locally) even though the registry metadata declared no required config paths. Also SKILL.md discusses a 'get_pairing_code' flow that is not implemented in the provided CLI script (minor mismatch).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions stay within the advertised scope: public curl reads for browsing and node script calls for authenticated actions against rentahuman.ai. The instructions do not request unrelated system files or unrelated environment variables. Note: the SKILL.md contains detected unicode-control characters (prompt-injection signal) that should be manually inspected.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or remote downloads; the skill is instruction-only plus a small zero-dependency Node.js script. The only runtime requirement is node on PATH. No suspicious external installers or archives are used.
Credentials
Only RENTAHUMAN_API_KEY is requested as the primary credential (appropriate for write operations). However, the script generates and stores an Ed25519 keypair and private key files under the user's home (~/.rentahuman-identities) with filesystem persistence. This creates sensitive secrets on disk that were not declared in config paths metadata and increases the risk if the machine or backup is compromised.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does persist data by creating/storing agent identity files in the user's home directory and can sign requests using those keys. The skill is not marked always:true and does not modify other skills' configs, but if the agent is allowed to run autonomously and an API key is present the skill can perform authenticated actions on behalf of the agent. Users should understand and control that persisted identity material.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install rentahuman
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /rentahuman
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
