Writing Coach Pro

Analyzes and improves your writing by checking grammar, style, tone, readability, and consistency while adapting to your evolving personal preferences.

What to consider before installing: - Privacy: The skill stores a persistent profile, a learning-log (data/learning-log.json), per-session summaries, and may include excerpts of submitted text in session-history — these files can contain sensitive content. If you will process confidential documents, assume parts may be stored locally by the skill. - No network calls are present in the scripts, and the SECURITY.md asserts 'we do not phone home', but the dashboard integration description implies a possible sync to a NormieClaw Dashboard. The repository does NOT include code that performs remote network sync or requests credentials. That ambiguity is the main red flag: either the dashboard reads local files (harmless if you trust the dashboard), or there is an undocumented external sync path (not present here). Ask the publisher how dashboard syncing actually works before enabling it. - Inspect the local files yourself before running setup.sh. The scripts are small and readable; they only create directories, set permissions, and initialize learning-log.json. Open data/learning-log.json and session-history after you run setup to confirm what is recorded. - If you want to limit data retention or risk: - Keep the skill directory on a machine you control; avoid running on machines that process sensitive documents unless you accept local storage. - Disable dashboard sync in config (settings.json → dashboard.sync_after_each_session = false) or do not install the dashboard component. - Use a local LLM backend (as the SECURITY.md suggests) so text does not leave your machine via the model provider. - Delete stored analysis data when done: rm -rf ~/.openclaw/skills/writing-coach-pro/data (the repo documents this command). - What would change this assessment: if the publisher supplied a concrete, auditable network sync implementation (and it required no credentials), the risk would be clearer (and likely higher if it sent excerpts off-host). Conversely, if the dashboard integration is documented to be strictly local (dashboard reads local files only) and settings.json exposes an explicit opt-out default for sync, the ambiguity would be resolved and confidence would increase toward benign. Summary action items: review SECURITY.md and the scripts locally, run setup.sh in a controlled environment, inspect any files created in data/, turn off dashboard syncing until you confirm how it operates, and avoid submitting highly sensitive text until you are comfortable with local storage behavior.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: normieclaw-writing-coach-pro Version: 1.0.3 Writing Coach Pro is a comprehensive writing analysis tool that functions as described. It uses local storage (~/.openclaw/skills/writing-coach-pro/) for user style profiles and session metadata to provide personalized feedback. The included shell scripts (setup.sh, export-report.sh, style-check.sh) are transparent, use standard tools like jq and grep for text processing, and do not contain any network calls, obfuscation, or malicious payloads. The instructions in SKILL.md are focused entirely on the writing coaching task and do not attempt to subvert the agent or access sensitive system data.
