Usage Guidance
This skill is a read-only reference and appears safe: it only contains documentation, code examples, and a shell script that prints help text. It does not request credentials or perform network downloads. If you expect the agent to actually run the example commands (pip install, R install.packages, or pip/OS-level commands), be aware those will execute on the host/environment where the agent runs — the skill itself will not install dependencies. Also note a truncated section in the SKILL.md (trailing ellipsis) — functional behavior is documentation-only, but if you need executable tooling, ensure required libraries are installed from trusted package sources before running examples.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: feather
Version: 1.0.0
The 'feather' skill is a documentation and reference tool for the Apache Feather/Arrow IPC format. The files (SKILL.md and scripts/script.sh) contain only informational content, code snippets, and benchmarks related to data processing with Python and R. There is no executable logic beyond printing text to the console, and no evidence of data exfiltration, prompt injection, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md and included script all focus on Feather/Arrow format, pyarrow and R arrow usage, benchmarks and best practices. There are no unexpected credentials, binaries, or unrelated capabilities requested.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions and the bundled script only present documentation, usage examples, and CLI-like help text. They do not instruct the agent to read arbitrary system files, access environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only). The included shell script is documentation-only and does not download or execute remote code. This low-risk distribution method is proportionate for a reference skill.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and references only typical library installs (e.g., pip install pyarrow, install.packages('arrow')) that are appropriate for the documented examples.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide configurations. Autonomous invocation is allowed but consistent with normal skill behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install feather - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/feather - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
