Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for its stated purpose, but it writes whatever files are returned by the registry into your .claude/skills folder with minimal verification. Before installing a skill retrieved by this tool: 1) Inspect the skill's file list and SKILL.md for unexpected helper scripts or executables; 2) Prefer skills from reputable authors or with documentation and checksums/signatures; 3) Require explicit user confirmation before saving/installing (do not allow autonomous installs), and if possible run newly installed skills in a sandbox or review their contents before enabling them; 4) If you want extra safety, only install skills that are instruction-only (SKILL.md) and avoid ones that include scripts or binaries.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-lookup-tool
Version: 1.0.0
The skill functions as a package manager that enables the agent to search, retrieve, and install third-party skills from the prompts.chat registry. The instructions in SKILL.md direct the agent to download remote files and write them directly to the local filesystem (.claude/skills/), which constitutes a high-risk 'downloader' pattern. While this behavior is aligned with the tool's stated purpose, it creates a significant security risk by facilitating the installation of potentially unverified remote code.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the SKILL.md instructions: it searches the prompts.chat registry (via search_skills/get_skill) and saves retrieved files to .claude/skills/{slug}/. There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or installs requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are focused on searching, retrieving, and saving skill files. This is expected, but the installer saves all returned files (including helper scripts/configs) with only a minimal verification step (ensure SKILL.md exists). That means arbitrary files from the registry can be persisted on disk; there is no checksum/signature verification or explicit sandboxing described.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or executed by the skill itself beyond the described get_skill calls and local file writes. This is lower risk than an installer that pulls executables from arbitrary URLs.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It only reads data returned by registry tools and writes to the .claude/skills directory as described.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists files under .claude/skills/{slug}/ which is expected for an installer, but this grants it the ability to add arbitrary skill files into the agent's skill set. Combined with normal model invocation (disable-model-invocation=false), this could allow the agent to install new skills autonomously unless carefully governed; the SKILL.md does not require explicit user confirmation beyond the user's initial request.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-lookup-tool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-lookup-tool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
