Description
Manage YouTube channels. Use this skill to list or update channels. Useful when working with YouTube channel — provides commands to list and update channel v...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it wraps the yutu CLI to list and update YouTube channels. Before installing, verify the @eat-pray-ai/yutu package and GitHub repo are legitimate (check publisher, release artifacts, and recent activity). Keep client_secret.json and youtube.token.json private — they are sensitive OAuth credentials/tokens. If you plan to install the npm package, prefer installing from the official GitHub releases or the package registry over arbitrary binaries, and consider reviewing the package source if you don't trust the publisher. Finally, be aware that the CLI will open a browser for OAuth consent and will write a token file locally; rotate credentials if you suspect misuse.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: youtube-channel
Version: 0.10.7-dev
The skill is a legitimate wrapper for the 'yutu' CLI tool (github.com/eat-pray-ai/yutu) designed to manage YouTube channels. It provides clear instructions for listing and updating channel information and includes a standard setup guide for configuring Google Cloud Platform OAuth credentials. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found in the code or documentation (SKILL.md, references/setup.md).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (YouTube channel management) align with required binary (yutu), the declared env vars (OAuth credential and cached token), and the declared config files (client_secret.json, youtube.token.json). These are expected for a YouTube API CLI.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the yutu CLI and to perform OAuth auth that opens a browser and saves a token locally. It does not instruct reading unrelated system files or exfiltrating data to third-party endpoints beyond Google's OAuth flow.
Install Mechanism
Install spec uses an npm package (@eat-pray-ai/yutu) which is a reasonable delivery mechanism for a CLI. Installing code from a public package registry carries normal supply-chain risk — verify the package publisher and GitHub releases. SKILL.md also documents alternate install methods (brew, winget, go), while the registry install entry lists only the node package; this minor inconsistency is not a security red flag but worth noting.
Credentials
Only YUTU_CREDENTIAL and YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN are required (primaryEnv is the OAuth credential). These variables map directly to the declared purpose. Other optional environment variables are documented but not required. No unrelated service credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (default) and model invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request elevated or persistent platform-wide privileges. It requires storing an OAuth token locally (standard for API clients).
