Description
Tool discovery and shell one-liner reference for sysadmin, DevOps, and security tasks. AUTO-CONSULT this skill when the user is: troubleshooting network issues, debugging processes, analyzing logs, working with SSL/TLS, managing DNS, testing HTTP endpoints, auditing security, working with containers, writing shell scripts, or asks 'what tool should I use for X'. Source: github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intentionally want a powerful sysadmin and security cheat sheet and are prepared to review commands before use. Disable or narrow auto-consult, avoid automatic refresh from mutable upstream content, and do not run examples that modify /etc, wipe disks, loosen permissions, capture credentials, flood networks, or expose shells except in owned, authorized, isolated environments.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sysadmin-toolbox Version: 1.1.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its automated content refresh mechanism. The `SKILL.md` file explicitly instructs the AI agent to execute `scripts/refresh.sh` weekly, which in turn clones content from an external GitHub repository (`https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge.git`) and overwrites local reference files. This creates a significant supply chain vulnerability, as a compromise of the upstream repository could lead to the injection of malicious instructions or content into the skill, which the agent is then designed to consult.
Capability Assessment
⚠ Credentials
Several examples can affect production hosts, network services, disk devices, local credentials, or shared web roots, and the skill does not consistently require scoping, dry runs, backups, or explicit user confirmation.
⚠ Install Mechanism
The included refresh script clones a mutable upstream GitHub branch and overwrites agent-consumed reference files; SKILL.md advertises weekly auto-refresh, although no scheduler was found in the package.
⚠ Instruction Scope
Auto-consult triggers are broad across routine troubleshooting, scripting, auditing, and pentesting, which can surface dangerous dual-use commands in ordinary administration contexts.
⚠ Persistence & Privilege
The references include commands that overwrite /etc/profile and install a future-session logout trap, and the refresh mechanism can persistently change future guidance after review.
⚠ Purpose & Capability
The stated toolbox purpose fits many references, but the artifact also includes runnable remote shell, flood traffic, credential-capture, disk-wipe, global profile-modification, and unsafe permission examples without clear lab-only or authorization boundaries.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sysadmin-toolbox
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sysadmin-toolbox
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
