Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent for doing a manual repo survey, but take these precautions before installing or invoking it: (1) run it only on repositories you own or have permission to analyze; repositories often contain secrets in config files — restrict the agent's file access to the repo root and exclude known secret paths (e.g., .env, config/secrets). (2) Confirm the agent or platform will not automatically transmit summaries to external services you don't trust. (3) Prefer using the official Cartograph tool (or use-cartograph) when available, as recommended by the skill. (4) If you plan to reuse this skill in automated flows, consider adding explicit constraints in the SKILL.md to prevent reading or exporting sensitive files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: repo-surveyor
Version: 1.0.0
The repo-surveyor skill bundle contains instructions for an AI agent to perform manual repository analysis and documentation tasks. The SKILL.md file outlines a standard workflow for identifying key files and dependencies without any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all focus on repository orientation and producing a small doc-ready summary. The skill declares no binaries, env vars, or installs — that matches an instruction-only repo-survey helper.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to discovering source/config/entry files, ranking important files, tracing dependency hubs, and producing a minimal context summary. This is appropriate for repo orientation. One minor caution: the instructions allow agent discretion when selecting config files (which may contain secrets); the skill does not explicitly forbid reading non-repo system files or exfiltration, so callers should ensure the agent's file access is limited to the intended repository and outputs are not sent to untrusted endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present. Instruction-only skills are lower risk because nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate for the described task.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always-on presence, does not modify other skills, and uses default autonomous-invocation behavior. Nothing here indicates elevated or persistent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install repo-surveyor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/repo-surveyor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
