Description
Simplecast integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Simplecast data.
Usage Guidance
This skill is an instruction-only wrapper around the Membrane CLI to access Simplecast. Before installing or using it: 1) Note that SKILL.md requires installing @membranehq/cli via npm (so you need npm/node and will install a global package) even though the registry metadata doesn't declare this — verify you are comfortable running that install. 2) Understand that Membrane will store and manage your Simplecast credentials and perform API calls on your behalf; only proceed if you trust getmembrane.com/@membranehq and review the Membrane CLI package on npm and its GitHub repository. 3) Verify the Membrane CLI package source, review permissions and scopes it requests, and consider whether you prefer giving direct API keys to a local integration instead of delegating them to a third party. 4) If you need stronger assurance, ask the publisher for an install spec, source link for the exact npm package version, or a signed repository reference before proceeding.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: simplecast
Version: 1.0.1
The `simplecast` skill (SKILL.md) provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with Simplecast using the Membrane CLI. Key indicators include the requirement for global package installation (`npm install -g @membranehq/cli`), network-based authentication, and the dynamic creation/execution of actions via the CLI. While these behaviors are aligned with the stated purpose of the skill and no clear malicious intent is present, the reliance on shell execution and external software installation represents a high-risk capability set according to the provided criteria.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose (Simplecast integration) aligns with using a mediation service, but the skill metadata declares no required binaries or install steps while the SKILL.md explicitly requires installing @membranehq/cli via npm and running membrane/npx commands. The absence of declared prerequisites (npm/node, npx or membrane CLI) is an inconsistency.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to using the Membrane CLI to create connections, discover and run actions, and to perform OAuth-style login in a browser. They do not instruct reading unrelated files or environment variables. However, they require the user to authenticate via a browser and to trust Membrane to manage Simplecast credentials and tokens — this delegates sensitive access to a third party, which is expected for this design but important for users to know.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry, but SKILL.md tells the user to run 'npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest' and also references 'npx'. Installing a global npm package writes to disk and pulls code from the npm registry; that is a moderate-risk install step and should have been declared. The install source (npm) is common, but the mismatch between metadata and instructions is a risk/consistency issue.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials in metadata and explicitly advises not to ask users for API keys, delegating auth to Membrane. That is consistent with a credential-mediator design. Users should be aware that Membrane (a third-party service) will hold and manage their Simplecast credentials and access tokens, which centralizes trust and risk.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is instruction-only, does not request always:true, and does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (default) but not by itself a problem. There is no evidence of persistence beyond installing the Membrane CLI if the user follows instructions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install simplecast - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/simplecast - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
