Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a static guide and appears low-risk: it doesn't install software or request credentials. The only minor note is the source/homepage is missing—if you require provenance, prefer skills with an identifiable homepage or trusted publisher. Otherwise it's safe to enable for advisory use; as always, avoid giving the agent external API keys or write privileges unless you trust the caller and context.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: rest-best-practices
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and a markdown guidance file (SKILL.md) outlining best practices for REST API design. There is no executable code, no network activity, and no evidence of prompt injection or malicious intent; the content is purely instructional for the AI agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (REST best practices) matches the SKILL.md content: six-stage workflow for designing HTTP APIs. The skill requests no binaries, env vars, or config paths, which is proportional to being a documentation/workflow skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is purely advisory: it describes stages, checklists, and recommendations. It does not instruct the agent to run shell commands, read files, access environment variables, or send data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). Nothing will be written to disk or downloaded during installation.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no opaque or unrelated secret requirements.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default invocation settings are used. The skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills' configurations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install rest-best-practices - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/rest-best-practices - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
