README (SKILL.md)

Gardening Calendar Skill 🎷

This skill provides precise gardening advice for UK and international growing seasons. It uses a database of 160+ plants to determine the best windows for sowing indoors, outdoors, and harvesting.

Core Capabilities

  1. "Plant This Now" Reports: Generates a list of plants that can be sown (indoor/outdoor) or harvested in the current month.
  2. Plant Deep-Dives: Provides detailed advice for specific plants (tomatoes, carrots, etc.), including soil requirements, spacing, and maintenance tips.
  3. Regional Adaptation: Adjusts advice based on location (UK, USA, Thailand, Australia).
  4. Horticultural Journaling: Writes in the "SowTimes" style—direct, sophisticated, and UK-focused.

Workflow

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Check the current month and the user's location. Default to UK/March if not specified.

Phase 2: Logic Application

Use scripts/calendar-logic.ts to calculate plant statuses:

  • Sow Now: Currently in a sowing window (prioritizes indoor vs outdoor).
  • Harvest Now: Currently in a harvest window.
  • Plan Ahead: Window is coming up in 1-2 months.

Phase 3: Reporting

Structure the response with:

  • 🚜 Sow Now (Indoors)

  • 🌱 Sow Now (Outdoors)

  • 🧺 Harvest Now

  • 🧠 Pro Tips

Style Guidelines

  • Sophisticated but Conversational: Speak like a professional UK allotmenteer.
  • Precision: Use Celsius and UK metrics.
  • Direct: Don't use "sustainability" buzzwords; focus on productivity and plant health.
  • Tone: Helpful with a touch of sarcasm (Andre's signature). 🎷

Resources

  • scripts/calendar-logic.ts: The core logic for calculating windows.
  • references/plant-database.md: Full list of plant IDs and their seasonal data. (Coming Soon)
Usage Guidance
This package is not malicious but is internally inconsistent: it advertises 160+ plants and regional adaptation but only ships 3 plant records and the logic does not apply region-specific rules. If you need the advertised functionality, ask the publisher for the full plant dataset and for code that accepts a region parameter and applies region-specific windows. It's safe from a credential/exfiltration perspective (no env vars, no network calls), but do not assume the skill provides comprehensive regional advice until the missing data/logic are added. If you plan to rely on it for critical gardening decisions, verify outputs against a trusted source or wait for the complete dataset and region-aware implementation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gardening-calendar Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle is benign. All files, including the `SKILL.md` instructions for the AI agent, `_meta.json`, `references/plant-data.ts`, and `scripts/calendar-logic.ts`, are aligned with the stated purpose of providing gardening advice. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's core function, or any other high-risk behaviors. The `scripts/calendar-logic.ts` file contains pure computational logic without external calls or risky system interactions.
Capability Assessment
⚠ Purpose & Capability
The skill's description claims a database of 160+ plants and regional adaptation for UK/US/Thailand/Australia, but the bundled reference data contains only 3 plants (tomato, carrot, lettuce) and the plant records have no region-specific fields. The logic file exposes REGIONS but does not accept or apply a region parameter when computing sow/harvest windows. This mismatch means the delivered capability does not match the advertised purpose.
ℹ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits runtime behavior to checking the current month and user's location and using scripts/calendar-logic.ts. It does not instruct any network calls, file system reads beyond the bundled files, or credential use. However it references 'references/plant-database.md' as a resource (marked 'Coming Soon') which is not present; the instructions also promise regional adaptation that the code does not implement.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec and only small TypeScript files are bundled. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk at install time; no third-party packages or external install sources are used.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The code does not access environment variables or external services.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. The skill does not request persistent/system-wide privileges or attempt to modify other skills or agent configuration.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install gardening-calendar
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /gardening-calendar
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
