Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (call the Placed API) and asks only for a Placed API key. Before using it: (1) verify the homepage/endpoint (https://placed.exidian.tech) is the real service you trust, (2) prefer storing API keys in a secure store or OS keychain rather than plaintext files; if you use the suggested ~/.config/placed/credentials file, set restrictive file permissions (chmod 600) and avoid storing other secrets there, (3) be aware that 'source' will execute anything in that file — review it before sourcing, (4) do not paste your API key into public chat or logs, and (5) inspect the token's scope and rotate/revoke it if you stop using the skill. If you want stronger safety, avoid persisting the key and enter it only per-session, or manually create the credentials file with appropriate permissions instead of allowing the skill to overwrite it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: placed-career-tools
Version: 1.1.0
The skill bundle provides a comprehensive set of career-related tools (resume matching, cover letter generation, salary insights) that interface with the Placed API at placed.exidian.tech. It manages an API key by storing it in a standard configuration directory (~/.config/placed/credentials) and uses common shell utilities (curl, python3) to perform API requests. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found; the behavior is consistent with the stated purpose of providing career assistance tools.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe career tools and all declared actions (match resume, generate cover letters, salary data, company research). The SKILL.md only requires a Placed API key and shows curl calls to https://placed.exidian.tech/api/mcp — this is coherent and proportional to the stated functionality.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are focused on API usage and provide a shell helper (placed_call). They instruct checking $PLACED_API_KEY, sourcing ~/.config/placed/credentials, prompting the user if missing, and then writing the key back to that file. That behavior is within scope but introduces two practical concerns: (1) sourcing a file executes shell code found there (typical for env files but could execute unexpected commands if the file is compromised), and (2) the instructions overwrite/create a plaintext file with an exported key, which may expose the secret if file permissions are permissive or the file already contained other content.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — lowest disk/write risk. It relies on standard system tools (curl, bash, python3) already expected on many systems.
Credentials
No required environment variables or unrelated credentials are declared. The only secret involved is PLACED_API_KEY, which is appropriate for a service-specific API client. The skill does access $HOME/.config/placed/credentials (expected for storing that API key) but does not request other unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and can be invoked by the user. It does instruct saving the API key into a per-user config file, which is normal for API clients; it does not attempt to modify other skills or global agent settings.
