Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited: it runs a bundled Bash script that prints FERPA guidance. Before installing or running, inspect the full scripts/script.sh yourself to confirm it contains only static text output (no network calls, no file-system traversal beyond writing to an intended FERPA_DIR, and no commands that exec arbitrary input). If you will run the script in an automated agent, consider running it in a restricted environment (container or VM) first. If you need the skill to store data, verify what FERPA_DIR is used for and ensure it does not inadvertently store or transmit student data. If you want higher assurance, provide the complete script output (the truncated portion) so it can be re-reviewed; that could raise confidence to high if it contains only help/version/printing logic.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ferpa Version: 1.0.0 The 'ferpa' skill bundle is a purely informational reference tool providing static text regarding the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The primary script (scripts/script.sh) contains no network activity, file system modifications, or sensitive data access, and the SKILL.md instructions are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of providing legal compliance information.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe a FERPA reference and the skill provides a local shell script (scripts/script.sh) with commands that print FERPA guidance. There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run scripts/script.sh with specific subcommands (intro, rights, records, etc.). The script content shown prints static guidance and matches the described scope. The skill does not request reading unrelated system files or external endpoints in the visible code.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only with a bundled script). That is the lowest-risk pattern; nothing is downloaded from external URLs or installed globally.
Credentials
No credentials or sensitive environment variables are required. SKILL.md exposes an optional FERPA_DIR configuration (a local data directory), which is proportionate for storing local skill data if used.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled, does not request elevated privileges, and does not modify other skills or system-wide configuration in the materials provided.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install ferpa
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /ferpa
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
