Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it manages aliases by reading/writing a JSON file at ~/.aliasrc and does not contact the network or request secrets. Before installing or running it, review the scripts/alias.py file (it is short and readable), back up any existing ~/.aliasrc you have, and be aware that adding aliases here does not automatically enable them in your current shell session (you will need to source a file or add integration to your shell startup). Also note the script has minimal error handling—if ~/.aliasrc is malformed, the script may fail—so inspect the file and contents first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: alias-tool
Version: 1.0.0
The alias-tool skill is a straightforward utility for managing command shortcuts stored in a local JSON file (~/.aliasrc). The Python script (scripts/alias.py) performs basic file I/O to list, add, or retrieve aliases without any network activity, shell execution (os.system/subprocess), or attempts to modify sensitive system configuration files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included behavior: the tool stores and lists aliases. The script reads/writes a user file (~/.aliasrc) to persist aliases, which is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md shows shell 'alias' usage but does not document how to use the provided scripts or how to integrate ~/.aliasrc with the user's shell (sourcing). The runtime instructions do not attempt to read unrelated files or credentials.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided and there are no downloads or package installs. The skill is instruction-only plus a small script, so nothing is written to disk by an installer.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or external config paths. The single file it accesses (~/.aliasrc) is consistent with managing persistent aliases.
Persistence & Privilege
The script will create/modify ~/.aliasrc in the user's home directory to persist aliases. This is expected behavior for an alias manager; the skill is not always-enabled and does not modify system-wide settings or other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install alias-tool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/alias-tool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
