torque

Compute output torque given input torque and gear ratio.

bash scripts/script.sh torque 10 3.5 0.95

drivetrain

Analyze a multi-stage gear train.

bash scripts/script.sh drivetrain "20:60,15:45,18:72"

motor-select

Motor selection helper based on load requirements.

bash scripts/script.sh motor-select 50 300

help

Usage Guidance

This skill appears to do only local mechanical calculations and doesn't ask for credentials or make network calls. Before installing: 1) note that the scripts require a POSIX shell and python3 even though the metadata does not list required binaries — ensure those are available in your environment; 2) inspect the motor-select section (the script is large) to confirm it doesn't reach out to external services or download data at runtime; and 3) as with any third-party script, only install if you trust the author and repository (bytesagain.com / GitHub link). If you want an added safety check, run the script in a restricted environment (container) first.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gear Version: 2.0.1 The skill bundle is a mechanical engineering calculator for gear ratios, torque, and motor selection. The logic is implemented in 'scripts/script.sh' using Bash wrappers that pass validated numeric inputs to embedded Python scripts for mathematical processing. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Purpose & Capability

The skill is a gear/drivetrain calculator and the included scripts implement ratio, speed, torque, and drivetrain analysis which is coherent with the description. One minor inconsistency: the registry metadata lists no required binaries, but the runtime scripts invoke bash and python3 (via heredocs). Requiring python3 and a POSIX shell is reasonable for this purpose but should be declared in the metadata.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the bundled scripts with specific arguments. The scripts only operate on provided numeric inputs and print guidance; they do not read arbitrary user files, call external endpoints, or access environment variables beyond those they set for internal use.

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec; this is effectively instruction + bundled script. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk at install time beyond the existing skill files, which is low risk.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and the scripts do not request any secrets. They use ephemeral environment variables to pass arguments into Python subprocesses only.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

The skill is user-invocable, not always-on, and does not modify other skills or system configuration. It does not request persistent privileges or credentials.

How to Use

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