Description
Instantly find the best AI agent skills, tools, and capabilities from across the entire web.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its stated purpose, but it forwards whatever you type to an external, publisher-run API (https://skillsearch-api.hagen-hoferichter.workers.dev). Before installing: (1) do not include secrets, API keys, passwords, or PII in queries; (2) test with harmless sample queries first; (3) if privacy is a concern, ask the publisher for a privacy/provenance statement or consider a self-hosted alternative; (4) you can review the included scripts (scripts/search.py) yourself — it only performs an HTTP GET and prints results — and control network access with host-based firewall rules if needed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skills-search-fts
Version: 1.0.7
The skill is transparent about its functionality, which involves sending user search queries to an external API (`https://skillsearch-api.hagen-hoferichter.workers.dev/search`) for processing. Both the `SKILL.md` documentation and the `scripts/search.py` code explicitly declare this external network call and warn users against including sensitive data in their queries. The Python script uses standard libraries, properly encodes query parameters, and does not exhibit any signs of local file access, shell execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The `SECURITY MANIFEST` in `scripts/search.py` accurately reflects the script's limited permissions and network activity.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description, SKILL.md, and included script all match: a python3 script performs full-text searches by forwarding queries to an external search API. There are no unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly says queries are forwarded to an external API; the script confirms this by making an HTTP GET to https://skillsearch-api.hagen-hoferichter.workers.dev/search. The instructions do not read local files or environment variables, but they do transmit whatever the user types to the publisher's endpoint (so queries may be logged).
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and only a small included Python script; nothing is downloaded or executed from arbitrary URLs during install. Required runtime is only python3.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials (proportionate). However, because it transmits raw queries to a publisher-managed endpoint, users should avoid embedding API keys, passwords, or PII in queries.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent presence (always:false), does not modify other skills or system settings, and has no install-time side effects. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not exceptional here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skills-search-fts - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skills-search-fts - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
