Description
Run and interact with AI agents.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it expects a local 'ramalama' binary and (optionally) a container runtime and documents how to use them. Before installing/use: (1) verify the source of the ramalama package (brew tap or the 'uv' formula) to ensure you trust the distributor; (2) be mindful that running 'serve' exposes an HTTP API — protect it with network controls or auth if you will serve sensitive data; (3) model pulls will download potentially large files and use significant CPU/GPU/memory and network bandwidth; (4) when running in containers, ensure images and mounts are trusted and avoid mounting sensitive host paths into model containers. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher for a canonical homepage/repository or an official release URL for the ramalama binary before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ramalama-cli Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is classified as benign. It provides instructions and documentation for using the 'ramalama' CLI tool, which is designed for running and interacting with AI agents. All commands and instructions in `SKILL.md` and `references/models.md` are directly related to the stated purpose, including installing the tool, running AI models, serving endpoints, and troubleshooting. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent's purpose, or obfuscation. While the skill involves powerful capabilities like shell execution and network access (e.g., `ramalama pull`, `curl localhost`, `podman logs`), these are transparently presented and are integral to the legitimate function of the 'ramalama' tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (run and interact with AI agents) align with declared requirements: the skill needs the 'ramalama' binary and optionally docker/podman. Those are appropriate and expected for a CLI that runs local/ containerized models.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to run ramalama commands and related tooling (docker/podman, curl, lsof). It does not instruct reading unrelated system files, harvesting environment variables, or exfiltrating data to unknown endpoints. Serving an OpenAI-compatible endpoint is noted, which is expected for this tool.
Install Mechanism
Install specs use package managers (brew and a 'uv' formula) to provide the 'ramalama' binary. Brew is a common, low-risk path; 'uv' is less widely known—verify the uv provider and formula source before trusting it. No direct URL downloads or archive extraction are used in the manifest.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. The documented commands may contact model hubs (hf://, rlcr://, etc.) to pull models, which implies network access but is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal autonomous invocation settings are used. The skill doesn't request persistent system-wide privileges, nor does it modify other skills' configs in the instructions.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install ramalama-cli
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /ramalama-cli
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
