Description
Manage OzBargain daily-deal automation in OpenClaw via cron. Use when creating/updating schedules, customizing topic priorities, enabling no-noise filtering,...
Usage Guidance
This appears to be a straightforward OpenClaw cron helper. Before installing, confirm: 1) you trust the openclaw binary on your system (this skill invokes it to run jobs and send messages); 2) you are comfortable the agent will read and update a dedupe file under your home directory (/home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/data/ozbargain-sent-links.json) and may read OpenClaw logs in /tmp; 3) message delivery destinations (group/chat ids) must be correct — misconfiguration can cause failed sends; and 4) because the skill can be invoked by the agent, ensure you only grant it when you want automated cron runs and deliveries. If you need more assurance, inspect openclaw installation provenance and back up the dedupe file before first use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ozbargain-monitor
Version: 1.0.3
The skill bundle is designed to automate OzBargain deal monitoring using the OpenClaw CLI. It manages cron jobs, handles deal deduplication via a local JSON state file, and provides troubleshooting steps like log inspection. All operations, including the bash script and prompt templates, are consistent with the stated purpose and do not exhibit signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or unauthorized access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions and required binary. Requiring the openclaw CLI is appropriate for creating/updating/running cron jobs and delivering messages.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md sticks to cron/job management, deduplication, and delivery troubleshooting. It instructs reading/writing a per-user dedupe file under the user's home and grepping OpenClaw logs in /tmp — both are coherent with the stated purpose and not excessive.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only) and a tiny helper script. Nothing is downloaded or written to system install locations by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or external credentials. It uses user-supplied job/channel/destination identifiers as expected; no broad secrets access is requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no modifications to other skills or system-wide configs. The skill writes a per-user dedupe state file (expected) but does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ozbargain-monitor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ozbargain-monitor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
