Description
Monitor solar weather conditions including geomagnetic storms, solar flares, aurora forecasts, and solar wind data. Uses NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center real-time data.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for fetching NOAA SWPC data, but it includes a Python script that was not shown here. Before installing or running it, (1) open and review solar-weather.py to confirm it only fetches data from official NOAA endpoints and doesn't exfiltrate other files or secrets; (2) ensure your environment has python3 and any required Python libraries (requests, etc.); (3) run it in a limited/sandboxed environment first if you are unsure; and (4) look for any unexpected network endpoints or use of environment variables/credentials in the script. If you want higher assurance, paste the script here for a focused review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: solar-weather
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill bundle 'solar-weather' is benign. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions and examples without any prompt injection attempts. The `solar-weather.py` script exclusively interacts with the legitimate NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center API (`https://services.swpc.noaa.gov`) to fetch public space weather data, aligning perfectly with its stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or obfuscation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md usage examples, and the expected data source (NOAA SWPC) are consistent. No unusual credentials or unrelated services are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to running the included Python script (e.g., python3 solar-weather.py current/forecast/aurora/etc.) and to fetching NOAA SWPC data. They do not ask the agent to read arbitrary local files or external services beyond NOAA. However, the SKILL.md implicitly requires a Python runtime (python3) even though 'required binaries' lists none — a small documentation mismatch.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided and the skill is effectively instruction + a single Python file. That is low risk compared with remote installers. There are no downloads or archive extracts declared.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which fits a public-data NOAA client. That said, the bundled script could still read env vars at runtime; the SKILL.md does not document any such use.
Persistence & Privilege
No special persistence flags are set (always: not set). Model invocation flags are default, which is normal for an on-demand utility.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install solar-weather - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/solar-weather - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
