Description
Detect, attempt recovery from, report, and log errors to prevent silent data loss and ensure proper human intervention when needed.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: detect errors, attempt limited automatic recovery, generate structured reports, and save local error logs. Before installing, consider: 1) Logs: the error journal (memory/errors/) may include full error messages that reveal sensitive data (tokens, paths, stack traces) — ensure this folder is acceptable to store such data. 2) Elevated actions: the skill may suggest installing dependencies or using elevated permissions; configure policy or require human confirmation for such actions. 3) Autonomy: although the skill respects 'do not auto-retry' for auth/permission errors, it can be invoked autonomously by the agent by default — if you prefer manual control, only enable user invocation in your agent policy. 4) Testing: try it in a safe environment first to confirm the logging behavior and ensure it doesn't capture secrets you don't want preserved.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: skill-error-recovery Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a structured framework (4R: Recognize, Rescue, Report, Remember) for AI agents to handle errors gracefully. The included script, 'scripts/error-diagnose.mjs', is a simple diagnostic utility that maps common error codes (e.g., ENOENT, 429, 500) to human-readable explanations and suggestions without any external dependencies or network activity. The instructions in 'SKILL.md' are focused on improving reliability and transparency, and no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution were found.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (error recovery) match the SKILL.md and the included error-diagnose.mjs script. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or network endpoints are requested. The script and docs are consistent with an error-recovery helper.
Instruction Scope
Instructions focus on recognizing errors, trying bounded recovery (max 3 retries, and explicit 'do not auto-retry' rules for auth/permission/destructive cases), producing structured reports, and saving a local error journal (memory/errors/YYYY-MM-DD.md). This is within the stated purpose but does grant the agent permission to read error messages, create local logs, and suggest installs or elevated permissions when needed — which are reasonable for error recovery but worth noting.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with an included Node.js diagnostic script. No downloads or third-party install steps are embedded. README suggests copying SKILL.md into agent directories and optionally running the local node script.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. The recovery guidance may cause an agent to inspect local files, suggest elevated permissions, or prompt for re-authentication, and the skill logs full error details to a local memory path — which could include sensitive information. These actions are coherent with error handling but you should be aware logs may contain secrets if errors expose them.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no instructions to modify other skills or global agent configuration. The skill writes to its own error journal (memory/errors/) and suggests updating agent docs (e.g., AGENTS.md), which is reasonable for learning from failures. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not combined with elevated privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install skill-error-recovery
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /skill-error-recovery
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
