Description
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Usage Guidance
Reasonable to install if you want help creating OpenClaw skills. Run the helper scripts only on intentional paths, delete generated placeholder files you do not need, and inspect the skill folder or .skill archive before sharing so credentials, private notes, build outputs, or unrelated files are not included.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-creator
Version: 0.1.0
The skill is classified as suspicious primarily due to the `scripts/init_skill.py` file. This script creates a new skill directory and, as part of its templating process, generates an `example.py` file within the `scripts/` subdirectory, setting its permissions to `0o755` (executable). While the content of the generated `example.py` is a benign placeholder, the capability to create executable files in a user-specified path, even for templating, represents a significant security risk if the script's inputs were controlled by a malicious actor or if the template itself were altered. The `SKILL.md` and other files are instructional and do not contain malicious prompt injection or other harmful behaviors.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to help users create or update skills, and the bundled scripts initialize templates, validate metadata, and package a chosen skill folder, which matches that purpose.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are authoring guidance and do not ask the agent to override user intent, hide actions, collect secrets, contact external services, or run autonomously.
Install Mechanism
There is no install-time execution or remote installer in the artifacts, but publisher provenance is limited because no upstream homepage/source is provided.
Credentials
The scripts perform local file creation and packaging in user-supplied paths; this is proportionate for a skill creator, but packaging includes every file under the selected skill directory.
Persistence & Privilege
No credentials, background services, autostart behavior, elevated privileges, persistent memory, or broad local indexing are requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-creator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-creator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
