Usage Guidance
This skill is a reference/template for installing and operating AIDE and appears coherent. Before running any of the sample commands: (1) review scripts/script.sh and SKILL.md yourself, (2) replace placeholder emails/hosts with real, trusted destinations, (3) avoid automating database rotation without human review (the docs already warn about this), (4) install AIDE from your distro packages, and (5) run commands as an admin in a controlled environment (not blindly via an agent) because several examples perform network transfer (scp/mail) or set immutable flags (chattr +i). If you want the agent to execute actions autonomously, explicitly limit recipients and targets first.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the contained materials: SKILL.md and scripts/script.sh provide AIDE usage, config, initialization, checks, reporting and deployment guidance. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and examples reference system paths (/etc/aide.conf, /var/lib/aide/*) and common admin utilities (mail, scp, logger, python3) which are appropriate for an FIM deployment guide. Some examples show sending reports off-host (mail to [email protected], scp to backup@secure-host) — expected for backups/alerts but these are ways data leaves the host, so users should ensure recipients/hosts are correct and trusted before executing sample commands.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only (plus a helper script). No downloads, third-party package installs, or extract-from-URL steps are present.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths beyond AIDE's normal files. Example commands reference external hosts/addresses only as placeholders ([email protected], backup@secure-host).
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills. The guidance includes system-level operations (crontab edits, chattr +i) that are normal for deployment but require administrator privileges to run.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install aide - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/aide - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
