Description
Find and compare student accommodation worldwide on uhomes.com. Use for any student housing, 学生公寓, 留学租房, 留学生寮, 学生マンション, or study-abroad accommodation query.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its stated purpose: it only fetches and summarises listings from uhomes.com, asks for no credentials, and makes no local installs. Before installing, note three practical points: (1) All generated links include a partner xcode and UTM parameters (tracking/analytics) — if you don't want traffic attributable to this skill, avoid clicking through or verify the use of that code. (2) The skill is single-source (uhomes.com only) and will not compare other marketplaces — if you want a broader market comparison, use a different skill or ask the agent to search other sites. (3) An internal maintenance note indicates incremental probing to discover Must-Stay school_ids; the core runtime respects 'NEVER guess an ID', but you should avoid enabling any behaviour that mass-requests the site (it may cause rate-limiting or unwanted traffic). Otherwise the skill appears benign and low-risk — it does not request secrets or elevated privileges.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: uhomes-student-housing
Version: 1.5.1
The uhomes-student-housing skill is a specialized search tool designed to help students find accommodation on uhomes.com. It uses WebFetch to retrieve public listing data, applies a scoring algorithm to rank properties, and generates formatted responses with affiliate tracking parameters (xcode=000a95434637bdf71105). The skill logic is transparent, lacks any evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious prompt injection, and strictly adheres to its stated purpose of providing housing recommendations from a single verified source.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description ask for student housing on uhomes.com and the runtime instructions only construct uhomes.com URLs and fetch uhomes pages. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to build uhomes URLs, fetch listing and Must-Stay pages, load local reference files, filter/score results, and return booking links. That stays within the stated purpose. Two notes: (1) the skill appends a fixed partner xcode and UTM parameters to all URLs (tracking/analytics) — expected for a partner integration but worth knowing; (2) the references/must-stay-config.md includes a maintenance note about 'testing incrementally' to discover school_id values (max ~30 requests/session). The core skill respects 'NEVER guess an ID', but the maintenance note could be misused to enumerate IDs or make many requests if followed without care.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code executed on the host; lowest-risk install footprint.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. All external endpoints referenced are on uhomes.com (listing pages, must-stay pages, referral/demand form, WeChat Mini Program). The appended xcode/UTM are not secrets but do identify traffic source.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are set. The skill does not request persistent system-level presence or access to other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install uhomes-student-housing - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/uhomes-student-housing - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.5.1
v1.5.1: Fix 4 issues from live output evaluation — strict slot dedup (no same property in 2 slots), Must-Stay badge stacking on non-Must-Stay slots, correct city_id in Must-Stay link, accurate property count.
v1.5.0
v1.5.0: Redesigned recommendation algorithm. 4-stage pipeline (filter→score→slot-select→explain). Slot-based diversity (top pick/must-stay/closest/best value/top rated). Bayesian quality rating. Exponential distance decay. Trilingual explanation labels.
v1.4.0
v1.4.0: Complete Must-Stay mapping — 22 universities (school_id) + 17 UK cities + Boston. Slug-to-school_id lookup table for runtime matching. University-level Must-Stay now preferred over city-level.
v1.3.2
v1.3.2: Fix cross-city Must-Stay bug. Add university-level Must-Stay (school_id). 10 UK cities + 2 universities mapped. Priority: university > city > skip.
v1.3.1
v1.3.1: Fix cross-city Must-Stay mismatch bug. Add 8 UK city IDs (Manchester=10, Edinburgh=5, Glasgow=6, Oxford=8, Cambridge=9, Bristol=11, Birmingham=12, Leeds=13). Document school_id not yet functional.
v1.3.0
v1.3.0: Integrate Must-Stay curated ranking with weighted scoring algorithm (distance + budget + must-stay bonus + quality). Must-Stay properties get priority boost and 🏆 badge.
v1.2.1
