Usage Guidance
This skill is not outright malicious, but it's inconsistent and somewhat misleading. Before installing or using it: 1) Note that the JS script runs a shell command 'openclaw status' — ensure you have (and trust) an 'openclaw' binary on your system because the script executes it via child_process.execSync. 2) Understand the script only simulates latency using timeouts; it does not actually switch models or call model APIs to measure real model processing time despite SKILL.md claiming cross-model testing. If you need real measurements, review and modify the script to use your platform's official model-switching and timing APIs and verify it restores context safely. 3) Because the script executes shell commands, run it in a trusted or isolated environment if you do not fully trust the skill source. 4) If you expect true cross-model testing, ask the author to: declare 'openclaw' as a required binary, implement explicit model-switching and restore behavior, or document clearly that this is a demo/simulation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ping-model
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed to measure and display AI model response latency, currently using a simulation. The `SKILL.md` instructions are clear and focused on output formatting, showing no signs of prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent. The `ping-model.js` script uses `child_process.execSync` to run `openclaw status`, which is a legitimate, hardcoded interaction with the local platform CLI and does not incorporate unsanitized user input. User-provided arguments for model names are only used in the internal simulation logic and for display, not in any shell commands. There is no evidence of malicious intent such as data exfiltration, persistence, or unauthorized network activity.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill description promises cross-model testing and temporarily switching models, but the shipped implementation does not perform real model switching or real API calls — it simulates latencies. The script also invokes an external command ('openclaw status') to read the current model, yet 'openclaw' is not declared as a required binary in the manifest/SKILL.md metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to save/restore model context and to switch models for cross-model testing, implying interaction with agent/model configuration. The actual script only simulates delays (setTimeout) and does not implement switching or measuring real model response times — this is inconsistent and potentially misleading about what data will be gathered.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-only plus a Node script. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer. This is the lower-risk install model.
Credentials
The skill requires Node (declared) and performs a child_process execSync('openclaw status ...') to probe session status, which implies needing the 'openclaw' binary or CLI context. However, 'openclaw' is not listed in the required binaries or manifest. No environment variables or credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not declare persistent privileges, and does not modify other skills or system config. It runs as a one-off Node script when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ping-model - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ping-model - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
