Description
Convert user tasks to optimal Linux/Python commands. Use when user needs file processing, data extraction, text manipulation, or any task that can be solved...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its goal of translating tasks into system commands, but exercise caution before letting it execute anything automatically. Key points to consider:
- The skill often produces shell commands that can modify or delete files (sed -i, mv, find + exec-like patterns). Always review commands and prefer dry-runs before executing.
- The translate.py code injects user-supplied parameters directly into command strings. If you allow the agent to run commands (code_execution), that can lead to accidental destructive actions or exposure of sensitive files. Prefer disabling automatic execution or require explicit confirmation from a human for any command that writes/deletes/renames files.
- The Python snippets in translate.py contain formatting bugs and unsanitized string interpolation (e.g., malformed f-strings and subprocess.run usage). These indicate sloppy engineering — not necessarily malicious, but they increase the chance of unexpected behavior.
- If you want to use this skill safely: restrict it to generating commands (no automatic execution), require an explicit human approval step for every command that modifies state, run commands in a sandboxed environment when possible, and ask the skill author for input-sanitization and dry-run defaults.
- Confidence would increase if the author documents whether the skill ever executes commands autonomously (it appears intended only to generate commands) and if translate.py is fixed to avoid string-injection risks and syntax errors.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: system-commander
Version: 1.0.0
The 'system-commander' skill facilitates the execution of arbitrary shell and Python commands by the AI agent, which is a high-risk capability. The helper script `scripts/translate.py` contains a significant command injection vulnerability because it uses unsanitized user input to format command strings within the `PATTERNS` dictionary (e.g., using `.format(**params)` for bash and python templates). While the skill's stated purpose is token efficiency and file processing, the lack of input sanitization and the encouragement of direct system-level execution without safety checks pose a high risk of Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md content and the included translate.py all align: the skill converts natural-language tasks into Linux/Python commands and examples match that purpose. There are no unrelated declared environment variables, binaries, or install steps.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and translate.py focus on generating executable shell/python commands. Several examples and pattern outputs are destructive (e.g., sed -i, mv) and the runtime guidance implies these can be run directly. The skill instructs to 'Provide the command (ready to copy-paste)' but also lists allowed_tools including code_execution — if the agent is permitted to execute generated commands automatically, that expands the scope to performing filesystem changes. The doc also references an odd construct '§§include()' and enforces a 'never rewrite command output' rule, which are implementation-specific and unexplained.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction + small translate.py script. No downloads or third-party package installs are performed by the skill itself. The SKILL.md suggests apt-get usage for optional tools, but that's a user-level recommendation, not an automated install.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportional to its stated purpose. However, the generated commands may cause the agent (or user) to access arbitrary files if executed.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no claim of modifying agent-wide settings or other skills. The skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install system-commander - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/system-commander - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
