/install speedtest-net
Description
Measure internet network speed (download, upload, ping) using speedtest-cli (Speedtest.net). Use when: user asks to "check speed", "run speedtest", "test net...
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent and minimal: it simply calls your locally installed speedtest-cli. Before installing/use: (1) verify you trust the source owner since repository/homepage is not provided; (2) install speedtest-cli from a trusted package source (pip/homebrew/apt) and avoid running installs as root if you don't trust the package; (3) be aware JSON output contains IP, ISP, and server location — don't share that output if it contains sensitive info; (4) the skill will perform outbound HTTPS connections to Speedtest servers (TCP 443) when run, which is expected for a speed test.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: speedtest-net
Version: 1.0.2
The speedtest-net skill is a standard wrapper for the legitimate 'speedtest-cli' utility. The Python script (scripts/speedtest.py) safely executes the binary using subprocess lists to prevent shell injection and includes basic error handling. The SKILL.md instructions explicitly forbid the AI agent from performing unauthorized installations, directing it to refer the user to setup.md instead, which is a positive safety measure.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included script and docs: the skill wraps the standard speedtest-cli tool to measure ping/download/upload. There are no unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and scripts/speedtest.py only instruct running the local speedtest-cli and printing results (plain text or JSON). The JSON can include server name/location, ISP, and IP — which is expected for speed tests and is documented in SKILL.md. The instructions explicitly avoid automatic installation and do not read other system files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec bundled with the skill. setup.md recommends installing speedtest-cli via pip/apt/Homebrew — standard, low-risk guidance. The skill will not download or execute arbitrary code itself.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. This is appropriate for a simple client-side network test that uses an external Ookla service via speedtest-cli.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent/system-wide modifications. It runs only when invoked and does not modify other skills or agent configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install speedtest-net - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/speedtest-net - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
Security fix: removed auto-install of speedtest-cli. Script now fails with clear error pointing to setup.md instead of running pip/apt automatically.
v1.0.1
Renamed to Speedtest.net
