/install powershell-reliable
Description
Execute PowerShell commands reliably on Windows. Avoid &&, handle parameter parsing, recover from interruptions, and ensure cross-session continuity.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and appears to do what it says: teach and verify reliable PowerShell execution patterns. Before using: (1) review any scripts you run that were produced or modified based on these patterns, especially checkpoint files — they live in the working directory and could accidentally include sensitive state if misused; (2) never run unreviewed code from unknown sources with elevated privileges; (3) treat the secret-detection heuristics as helpful but imperfect (they can miss secrets or generate false positives) — perform an independent review for hardcoded credentials; (4) test long-running or background-job patterns in a safe environment to ensure they behave as expected.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: powershell-reliable
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill bundle 'powershell-reliable' is designed to teach and enforce best practices for writing robust and secure PowerShell scripts. Both `SKILL.md` and `references/privacy-checklist.md` explicitly advocate for secure coding, including avoiding hardcoded secrets, using `SecureString`, and preventing data exfiltration. The provided code snippets are for demonstrating secure patterns or for scanning other scripts for sensitive data, not for malicious execution. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration, malicious execution, or any other harmful intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (reliable PowerShell execution, error handling, checkpointing) match the SKILL.md content. The skill does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs, and all examples focus on local PowerShell patterns that are appropriate for the stated goal.
Instruction Scope
All runtime instructions remain within the domain of authoring/running PowerShell scripts: safe command chaining, parameter handling, path handling, checkpointing, retry logic, and local file scanning for secrets. The guidance instructs scanning scripts and writing checkpoint files in the working directory — which is reasonable for this purpose but means users should review what files will be scanned or written before running on sensitive directories.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files that would be downloaded or executed are present; this is instruction-only content, which minimizes supply-chain/infrastructure risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It references common environment variables (e.g., $env:USERPROFILE, an example $env:MY_API_KEY) only as examples; this is proportionate to the guidance. Users should note the skill shows patterns for using environment variables and SecureString but does not require any secrets itself.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent installation, elevated privileges, or always-on inclusion. It recommends storing checkpoint files in the working directory only and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install powershell-reliable - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/powershell-reliable - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
