Description
Search, discover, compare, and install OpenClaw skills from ClawHub using CLI and web lookups.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for discovering and installing community skills, but remember: it mainly drives the clawhub CLI which will fetch and install third-party skills. Before installing any recommended skill, inspect its SKILL.md and supporting files, check the ClawHub VirusTotal / scanner reports, and avoid running installs as an elevated user. If you do not want the agent to run installs autonomously, disable autonomous invocation for this skill or only use it interactively. Finally, only install skills from sources you trust, since community skills can request credentials or perform network actions when installed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-scout
Version: 0.1.0
The skill-scout bundle is designed to help an AI agent search, inspect, and install OpenClaw skills from ClawHub using the `clawhub` CLI tool. All commands and instructions are directly related to this stated purpose. Crucially, the `SKILL.md` includes a comprehensive 'Security Guidance' section that explicitly instructs the AI agent to warn users about the risks of installing community-built skills, to check VirusTotal reports, and to review skill source code. This proactive security advice strongly indicates a benign intent, as it actively mitigates the inherent risks of installing third-party code rather than exploiting or concealing them.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the SKILL.md describes searching, inspecting, and installing skills from ClawHub and references the npx-based CLI. The required binary (npx) aligns with the provided install examples. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
The guidance confines itself to running clawhub CLI commands, web lookups on clawhub.ai, and reviewing SKILL.md files before install. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate data. It does reference local skill storage paths (./skills, ~/.openclaw/skills/) which is appropriate for an installer helper.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. The SKILL.md suggests using npx or the clawhub CLI to install other skills; that behavior is expected for this purpose.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required by the skill itself. The SKILL.md warns users to review required env vars for individual skills (reasonable). There are no disproportionate secret requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true and does not modify other skills or global agent configs. It can be invoked by the model (default), which is normal for skills of this type; there is no elevated persistence requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-scout - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-scout - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
