如需查询更多单词，建议配置外部词典API：

有道词典 API

# 在 dict.py 中添加
import requests

def youdao_lookup(word):
    url = f"https://dict.youdao.com/jsonresult?q={word}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.json()

牛津词典 API

需要在 https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/ 申请 API Key

自定义词库

编辑脚本中的 BASIC_DICT 字典，添加新单词：

BASIC_DICT = {
    "yourword": {
        "phonetic": "/pronunciation/",
        "meanings": ["意思1", "意思2"],
        "pos": "词性"
    }

注意事项

当前使用内置基础词库，词汇量有限
建议配置外部词典API以获取更全面的释义
例句由模板生成，实际使用时应参考权威例句

Usage Guidance

This skill is a small, self-contained dictionary tool that runs locally and is coherent with its description. By default it uses an internal word list and template-generated example sentences (no network calls). If you or the skill author add external API integrations (Youdao, Oxford), those will require adding network access and API keys — review where keys will be stored and prefer environment-based or secure secret storage. As with any third-party script, inspect the code before running and run it in a sandboxed environment if you have concerns.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: english-dict Version: 1.0.2 The skill bundle provides an English dictionary lookup tool. The `SKILL.md` primarily documents the skill's usage and suggests ways to extend it (e.g., by adding external API calls), but these are not direct instructions for the AI agent to execute. The `scripts/dict.py` code is self-contained, using a hardcoded dictionary and sentence templates. It does not perform any network requests, file system operations (beyond its own execution), or execute arbitrary commands. While the input word is directly inserted into `str.format()` calls, this is generally safe from arbitrary code execution and does not demonstrate malicious intent. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, persistence, or other harmful behaviors.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the included script: a small built-in word dictionary, phonetics, part-of-speech, and template-based example sentences. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths are requested.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md tells the agent to run the provided Python script and how to extend it. It suggests optional integration with external dictionary APIs (Youdao, Oxford) which is reasonable for expanded data; the default behavior is local and does not read unrelated files or credentials.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only with a bundled script). Nothing is downloaded or extracted by default, so there is no installation risk.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. SKILL.md shows an optional requests-based lookup example for external APIs — any API keys would be expected only if the user configures those integrations.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level privileges or modify other skills. It runs only when invoked.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install english-dict
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /english-dict
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
