Description
Use this skill when a user wants to run timed focus sessions (Pomodoro technique) from the terminal.
README (SKILL.md)
Pomodoro Timer
When to use
- User asks to start a focus session, work timer, or pomodoro.
How it works
Run a 25-minute focus block followed by a 5-minute break. After 4 blocks, take a 15-minute break.
Start a session
echo "🍅 Focus started at $(date +%H:%M)" && sleep 1500 && osascript -e 'display notification "Time for a break!" with title "Pomodoro"' && echo "Break time at $(date +%H:%M)"
Custom duration (minutes)
MINS=15 && echo "Focus: ${MINS}m started at $(date +%H:%M)" && sleep $((MINS * 60)) && echo "Done at $(date +%H:%M)"
Log completed sessions
echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) $(date +%H:%M) - 25min focus" >> ~/pomodoro.log
Review today's log
grep "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" ~/pomodoro.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No sessions today."
Usage Guidance
This is a lightweight, instruction-only Pomodoro helper. Before using: (1) be aware the macOS notification command (osascript) only works on macOS — on Linux/Windows notifications will not appear unless you replace that part. (2) The commands use sleep, which blocks the shell; run in the background (e.g., with & or nohup) if you need the terminal. (3) The skill appends to ~/pomodoro.log — check or change that path if you don't want a file created in your home directory. No network access or secret/env requests are present, so the risk is low. If you want cross-platform notifications or nonblocking behavior, modify the provided commands accordingly.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: makeovern
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle implements a basic Pomodoro timer. It uses `sleep` for timing, `osascript` to display notifications on macOS, and writes/reads session logs to/from `~/pomodoro.log`. All commands and instructions in `SKILL.md` are directly aligned with the stated purpose of a pomodoro timer and do not exhibit any malicious intent, data exfiltration, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (terminal Pomodoro timer) match the SKILL.md. The commands (echo, sleep, optional logging) are exactly what you'd expect for a simple timed focus session.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are narrowly scoped to running sleep-based timers, optional logging to ~/pomodoro.log, and grepping that log. Minor issues: one provided command uses osascript (macOS-only) but the skill declares no OS restriction; the sleep-based approach blocks the shell (no guidance for running in background). Otherwise the instructions do not read remote data or unrelated system secrets.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This is low risk because nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The only persistent artifact is an optional log file in the user's home directory (~/pomodoro.log), which is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request always:true or elevated privileges. It does append to ~/pomodoro.log (persistent file) which is reasonable for a timer/logging utility — users should be aware of that file creation/modification. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal for skills) but not required.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install makeovern - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/makeovern - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
