Install in OpenClaw
/install text-diff
Description
Compare two text files and display their differences using unified, context, or side-by-side diff formats with customizable options.
Usage Guidance
This is a local text comparison tool that reads the two file paths you give it and prints or saves a diff; it does not contact external services or access hidden credentials. If you install it, ensure you trust the skill source (it runs Python code from the skill directory). Confirm you have Python 3 available and be careful not to pass sensitive files to any tool unless you intend to view/compare them locally.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: text-diff
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate utility for comparing text files using Python's standard 'difflib' library. The code in 'text_diff.py' is well-structured, lacks any network or unauthorized file access, and strictly follows the functionality described in 'SKILL.md' and 'README.md'.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (text diff) align with the included script and README. The skill only needs Python (already assumed) and works on two user-specified files; there are no unrelated dependencies or credentials requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the bundled Python script on two specified files. The script only reads the provided file paths and optionally writes output to a user-specified file — it does not access other system files, environment secrets, or network endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only). The package includes a plain Python script and docs; nothing is downloaded or executed from external URLs during install.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The script reads files the user passes on the command line and optionally writes an output file — this is proportionate to the stated task.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and runs only when invoked by the user (or agent) as normal.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install text-diff - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/text-diff - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
