Description
Discovers and recommends the best agent skills based on user intent — not just keywords. Activates when users ask "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent: it only searches the skills registry and shows install commands for you to run. Before installing: (1) confirm you are comfortable with the agent running npx commands — npx fetches and runs code from npm, so network access will be used when the agent runs the search command; (2) verify the install commands the skill shows before you run them (the skill says it will not auto-install, but you should still review any npx skills add lines); (3) note that proactive suggestions are based on conversation/session activity — if you prefer no proactive recommendations, avoid enabling or invoking the skill. No credentials or system files are requested.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-picker
Version: 1.0.3
The skill-picker bundle is a discovery tool designed to help users find relevant OpenClaw skills based on intent. It uses the `npx skills find` command for searching and provides explicit instructions to the agent to never execute installation commands (`npx skills add`) autonomously, ensuring user confirmation is always required. The logic is transparent, lacks obfuscation, and aligns with its stated purpose of intent-based skill recommendation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (skill discovery & recommendation) match the runtime behavior: the SKILL.md instructs the agent to run intent-aware searches and present install commands to the user. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are required.
Instruction Scope
Instructions constrain autonomous activity to a single command (npx skills find [query]) and explicitly require user confirmation for installs. The skill asks the agent to monitor session activity for repetition/friction (proactive suggestions) — this is within expected agent behavior but gives the skill discretion to surface recommendations based on conversation context. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading files, env vars, or posting data to external endpoints other than registry lookups.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec). It uses npx at runtime to run a search tool. npx fetches and executes packages from the npm registry, so running npx implicitly executes code fetched from the network; however the skill limits itself to a specific subcommand (skills find) and does not perform arbitrary downloads itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. That is proportional to a registry-search/recommendation skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but the skill's actions are limited and described in SKILL.md.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-picker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-picker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.3
Skill-picker 1.0.3
- Skill renamed from "find-skills" to "skill-picker".
- Description, activation rules, and core philosophy now explicitly mention only searching the skills registry via `npx skills find`.
- Clarified that skill-picker never installs skills autonomously; install commands are always shown for the user to run.
- Added `npx` as a declared tool and binary.
- Generally improved documentation clarity and emphasized strict boundaries between searching and installing.
v1.0.2
**Security clarification update:** All skill installation commands are now suggestions; autonomous installs are never performed.
- Clarifies that the skill only suggests installation commands and never performs installs automatically.
- Adds explicit instructions that all installs require user confirmation and action.
- Updates proactive and response language to present install commands for user execution only.
- Highlights this security principle in both the description and throughout the documentation.
- Adjusts examples and workflows to reinforce "suggest, never install" behavior.
v1.0.1
No major code or content changes detected; likely a metadata or documentation update.
- No file changes present in this version.
- No new features, bug fixes, or modifications recorded.
v1.0.0
Initial release of skill-picker.
- Helps users find and install the best skill for their needs based on natural language requests.
- Searches available skills by use case, recommends top matches, and guides through installation with confirmation.
- Explains each recommended skill and when it activates.
- Handles cases where no matching skill exists by suggesting alternatives.
- Designed to assist with automation, tool discovery, and repetitive task relief.
