Description
Test and debug regex patterns against sample text. Use when checking match groups, validating patterns, generating replacements, linting syntax.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a local regex toolkit. Before installing: ensure you have python3 on the machine (SKILL.md and the script require it), and be aware the tool will read any file path you pass to it — do not run it on sensitive files unless you trust the environment. There are no network calls or credential requests in the visible code. Note the SKILL.md example that uses shell arithmetic in a replacement may not work as shown because the script forwards the replacement string to Python's re.sub without shell evaluation. If you want higher assurance, review the rest of the script (the file was truncated in the provided view) to confirm there are no hidden network calls or unexpected behavior in the omitted portion.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: regexpal Version: 3.0.0 The RegexPal skill is a legitimate developer utility for testing and debugging regular expressions. The implementation in `scripts/script.sh` uses a Bash wrapper to execute Python's standard `re` library, handling arguments safely via `sys.argv` to prevent shell injection. The tool performs standard text processing tasks (matching, replacing, and explaining patterns) without any evidence of data exfiltration, network activity, or unauthorized system modifications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name, description, SKILL.md commands, and the included scripts align: the skill provides test/match/replace/extract/explain behaviors for regexes. Minor incoherence: SKILL.md and the script require python3, but the registry metadata lists no required binaries — the skill will fail at runtime if python3 is not present.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script only operate on the provided pattern, text, or file paths and print results to stdout/stderr. The script validates file existence and does not read other system config or environment variables. It does not contact external endpoints in the visible code. One note: an example in SKILL.md uses shell arithmetic in a replacement (v\1.$((\\2+1))) which the script passes straight to Python's re.sub, so that example may be misleading but not malicious.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no external downloads — this is an instruction-only style skill with a bundled shell script. Nothing is being fetched from remote URLs or installed automatically.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The script accesses only files specified by the user and uses python3 from PATH; no secrets or unrelated services are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not attempt to modify other skills or global agent configuration in the visible code. It does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install regexpal
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /regexpal
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
