Description
Not a code generator — an entire dev team. You write the vision, it ships the code. Autonomous builds, PRs, reviews, and merges across multiple repos. Point...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent, but review and control what it can access before use: 1) Only run it against repositories you can afford to change — try a disposable/test repo first. 2) Confirm your GitHub CLI (gh) is authenticated and check what account/organization it will act as; limit token scopes if possible. 3) Inspect the generated projects.yaml and docs/environments/* files before allowing automated runs or merges. 4) Keep backups or protected branches for important repos and consider requiring human approval for merges in production branches. 5) If you want stricter guarantees, ask the agent to show every planned commit/PR and require explicit user approval before creating or merging them.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: opentangl Version: 0.1.10 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle is classified as benign. While it instructs the AI agent to perform file system operations (reading project configurations, writing YAML and Markdown files) and execute shell commands (e.g., `node --version`, `git --version`, `gh auth status`, `mkdir`, `echo`), these actions are explicitly aligned with its stated purpose of configuring an autonomous development agent. Crucially, the `SKILL.md` file repeatedly and explicitly instructs the agent: 'Do not run these commands on the user's behalf' for any potentially impactful commands like `git clone`, `npm install`, `gh repo create`, or starting the `autopilot`. Furthermore, it includes a strong security measure by instructing the agent not to handle API keys directly and to verify/add `.env` to `.gitignore`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (autonomous development for JS/TS repos) matches the declared requirements: node, git, and the GitHub CLI (gh) are reasonable for detecting project type, creating repos/PRs, and merging. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install artifacts that wouldn't be needed for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to read configuration files inside the user-provided project directory (package.json, tsconfig.json, lockfiles, etc.), create projects.yaml and vision docs in the OpenTangl root, and use gh for repo operations. The doc explicitly limits file reads to the supplied directory and requires user confirmation at each gate. These actions are within scope for a tool that configures and orchestrates multi-repo development.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no downloads or archive extraction. That minimizes disk-write risk and is proportionate to an orchestrator that relies on preinstalled tools.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or tokens itself, which is appropriate. It does rely on the GitHub CLI (gh) and therefore on whatever GitHub credentials the user has configured locally; users should be aware that gh operations will use their account/credentials and permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true are appropriate. Model invocation is allowed (the platform default), which means the agent could perform sequences autonomously if granted by the user; SKILL.md emphasizes waiting for confirmation at every gate, which limits autonomous actions but relies on the agent following those instructions.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install opentangl
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /opentangl
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.1.10
Add searchable tags and category. Expand description for vector search discoverability. Add step-by-step flow guardrail.
v0.1.9
Add searchable tags and category. Expand description for vector search discoverability. Add step-by-step flow guardrail.
v0.1.8
opentangl 0.1.8 - Streamlined skill instructions for greater clarity and stronger step-by-step gating: users must confirm each step before proceeding. - Updated metadata to remove unused fields and clarify required binaries only. - Shortened and clarified the description for better readability and accurate expectations. - Improved prerequisite and dependency checks for a smoother setup process. - Enhanced project detection and configuration steps; instructions now emphasize not to perform user actions automatically. - Minor edits and reordering for consistency and user guidance.
v0.1.7
### Changelog for opentangl v0.1.7 - Simplified .env setup: users now copy-paste templates and never provide keys directly; Anthropic remains supported but is not required by default. - The skill now consistently instructs users never to run project/git/CLI commands on their behalf for setup or autopilot actions. - Prerequisite tool and dependency checks are clarified, with improved step-by-step instructions. - Setup flow and file generation steps are more concise and user-driven. - Metadata no longer claims Anthropic as a required environment variable by default. - General restructuring for greater clarity, security, and ease of onboarding.
v0.1.6
Removed git clone + npm install as agent actions — moved to Prerequisites as commands the user runs themselves, with explicit "do not run them on the user's behalf" Removed all npx scaffold commands as agent actions — Path B now tells the user to scaffold themselves and come back when they have a repo with a GitHub remote Removed the Safety section — no longer needed since the skill doesn't execute network code Removed Path C ("Not Sure") — simplified to just existing project vs new project Kept all the config generation, vision doc creation, .env setup, and autopilot execution (those are file writes and local commands, not network code fetching)
v0.1.5
opentangl 0.1.5 - Fix registry metadata: declare required env vars (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) with correct field names. Add Safety section with user confirmation gates for all destructive operations. Verify .gitignore before .env creation. - No other changes to documentation or core functionality.
v0.1.4
test
v0.1.3
Address safety review: transparent prerequisite checks, user confirmation before npm install and scaffold commands, explicit .env gitignore note, scoped filesystem inspection to user-provided directory only
v0.1.2
Update description — outcome-first, emphasize full dev team not just code generation
v0.1.1
Fix repo URL mismatch, scope filesystem access, add user confirmation before high-impact operations
v0.1.0
Initial release of OpenTangl — an autonomous AI development engine for JavaScript/TypeScript projects. - Scans your codebase, reads a vision doc, and autonomously proposes and executes development tasks. - Verifies code by building and testing, creates and merges GitHub PRs in a closed loop. - Guided setup includes project detection, vision doc scaffolding, multi-project configuration, and LLM key/environment selection. - Supports OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude) models with easy provider switching. - Built-in troubleshooting and error escalation flows for smooth self-driving development.
