Description
AI Agent Skill decision engine. Use when users need to find, evaluate, or install skills — recommends the best skill for any task with quality/safety scoring...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose (a third‑party skill-recommendation API), but it relies on an external site (skillscope.cn) that can return install commands and file URLs. Before installing or executing anything the skill suggests, inspect the API response and any install command or package name manually. Prefer official sources (clawhub install) over third‑party pip mirrors. If you must use it: 1) do not run pip installs or shell install commands returned by the API without review; 2) verify package provenance (PyPI / GitHub releases) and read the package code if unsure; 3) restrict autonomous invocation or require user confirmation for any install action; 4) consider network restrictions or allowlisting the external domain; and 5) if you need higher rate limits, obtain an API key only after validating the operator and privacy/security policy. If you are not comfortable reviewing installs, treat the skill as untrusted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skillscope
Version: 1.0.1
The skill functions as a recommendation engine that directs the AI agent to fetch and execute installation commands from an external API (skillscope.cn). While this aligns with its stated purpose of skill discovery, the pattern of providing executable strings from a third-party endpoint creates a significant risk of Remote Code Execution (RCE) if the backend returns malicious payloads. Additionally, it promotes a custom CLI tool via 'pip install skillscope' as a mirror, which increases the supply chain attack surface.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (skill discovery & recommendation) align with the SKILL.md content: it documents a recommend/search/detail/install API and how to use it. The endpoints and features described are consistent with a skill-matching service. One minor mismatch: the SKILL.md advertises both an anonymous and API-key mode but the skill itself does not request or declare any primary credential—this is plausible but means agents must handle API keys at runtime if higher rate limits are needed.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to make HTTP calls to https://skillscope.cn and to fetch installable files (e.g., /api/v1/install/<slug>/files). The SKILL.md also instructs providing or executing install commands returned by the service. While network calls are expected for a recommendation engine, fetching 'install' files and exposing install commands gives the external service influence over what code the agent will install or suggest. The instructions do not ask to read local user files or environment variables, which is good, but they enable installing external packages without any verification step.
Install Mechanism
The skill itself has no install spec (instruction-only), which is low-risk. However the documentation recommends installation commands the agent may surface or run: 'clawhub install <slug>' (official) and 'skillscope install <slug>' (China mirror, 'pip install skillscope'). Recommending 'pip install' from a third-party package/mirror is a higher-risk surface because pip packages can execute arbitrary code during install. The SKILL.md points to an external domain (skillscope.cn) rather than a well-known, audited release host for the mirror; that increases the risk if users follow install commands without review.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The SKILL.md does mention API key rate limits for the remote service but does not require any secrets to function. This is proportionate to a read-only recommendation service.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request 'always: true' or any elevated persistence. disable-model-invocation is false (agent can invoke autonomously), which is the platform default. There is no indication the skill will modify other skills or system-wide configurations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skillscope - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skillscope - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
