Description
Automates strain identification by parsing sequencing files, performing NCBI BLAST alignment, generating DingTalk table data, and creating Word identificatio...
Usage Guidance
This skill mostly matches its advertised purpose (parsing local FASTA files, producing a Word report and structured table data), but the BLAST step is implemented incorrectly: run_blast posts to NCBI but returns a hard-coded result rather than retrieving and parsing the actual BLAST output. Before using for real diagnostics or reporting, review and test the code: update run_blast to poll/fetch the RID results from NCBI and parse real matches, or verify results externally. Also note that using this skill will send sequence data to NCBI (an external service); do not use it with sensitive or patient-identifiable sequences unless you have approval. Finally, confirm you are comfortable with pip installing the declared dependencies from PyPI.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: strain-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious because the `run_blast` function in `main.py` returns hardcoded results (identifying every input as 'Pseudomonas') instead of processing the actual response from the NCBI BLAST service. While the script does perform a legitimate POST request to `blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov`, the deceptive nature of the static output makes the tool non-functional and misleading. Additionally, the tool reads local files and sends their content to an external endpoint, which, while part of the stated purpose, lacks path validation and could be used to inadvertently upload sensitive data.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise: parse sequencing files → run NCBI BLAST → produce DingTalk data and Word report. The code parses FASTA/SEQ and posts a BLAST 'Put' request to NCBI, which superficially matches the description, but run_blast returns a hard-coded result (fake strain/similarity/accession) instead of fetching and parsing actual BLAST results. This is a capability mismatch: it claims to perform full online BLAST alignment but the implementation does not deliver real alignment output.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs using local file_path and report_template and to call NCBI online BLAST. The code follows that scope (reads the provided file and template and generates a Word report and structured DingTalk data). It does make an outbound HTTP POST to blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and reads only the provided input files; it does not access other system files or environment variables. However, the run_blast workflow is incomplete (it posts but does not wait for/fetch results), which is a functional issue rather than an explicit privacy leak.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec in the manifest (instruction-only-style), but requirements.txt lists common Python packages (biopython, python-docx, requests). This is typical for a Python skill and implies pip installation of those deps; no unusual remote installers or archive downloads are present.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. It generates DingTalk-format data but does not attempt to post to DingTalk or require a DingTalk token. The only external network access is to blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (NCBI).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is user-invocable and not marked always:true. It does not modify other skills or system settings and does not request persistent elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install strain-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/strain-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
