Install in OpenClaw
/install y-combinator
Description
Understand Y Combinator's investment terms, batch process, core startup philosophy, global network benefits, and current focus on AI and B2B startups.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears safe and coherent: it only provides guidance about YC and asks for no credentials or installs. Before relying on it, remember the content is informational and time-sensitive (deal terms, amounts, and trends can change); verify critical facts (e.g., current standard deal terms) against official YC sources. The included Python snippet is conceptual — do not assume it's production-ready without review. If you plan to act on fundraising or legal matters, consult up-to-date official documentation or a professional advisor.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: y-combinator
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is purely educational, providing information about the Y Combinator ecosystem. The SKILL.md file contains conceptual text and a harmless Python snippet used for illustrative purposes, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the SKILL.md content: a guide to YC's model, application process, and trends. Nothing in the skill asks for unrelated capabilities, credentials, or system access.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains guidance, a timeline table, and a conceptual Python snippet illustrating decision logic. It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or transmit data—its runtime surface is informational only.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files to execute. This is the lowest-risk model (instruction-only).
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths; the requested permissions are proportionate (none) to the described purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or other elevated persistence, and defaults allow normal autonomous invocation only. It does not modify system or other skills' configurations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install y-combinator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/y-combinator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
