Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and safe: it only provides authoring guidance and asks the agent to create spec files. Before installing, consider: 1) you will want the agent to be allowed to create or modify files in your workspace (it writes specs/...), so install only where that is acceptable; 2) the SKILL.md references external fallback URLs — if your environment blocks outbound web access those links won't be reachable; 3) the skill owner is unidentified in the metadata — while the content is benign, prefer installing from known/trusted publishers or testing in a sandbox if you have any concern. Otherwise the skill matches its stated purpose and has no disproportionate permissions or installs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: spec-workflow-guide
Version: 1.5.0
The skill bundle defines a structured software development workflow (Requirements, Design, Tasks) for an AI agent to follow during complex tasks. It contains only markdown instructions (SKILL.md) and metadata (_meta.json), with no executable code or suspicious commands. The external URLs referenced are legitimate raw git links to sibling skills within the Tencent CloudBase repository on cnb.cool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description describe a spec-and-planning workflow; the SKILL.md contains only guidance for creating requirements/design/tasks files and cross-references sibling workflow docs. There are no environment variables, binaries, or unrelated capabilities requested that would be disproportionate to a planning/requirements skill.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are limited to producing spec files (requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md), asking follow-up questions, requiring confirmations, and referencing sibling docs. The instructions do not direct the agent to read unrelated local files, access credentials, or transmit data to external endpoints beyond referencing fallback URLs for sibling docs.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). Nothing is downloaded or written by an installer from arbitrary URLs, so there is minimal install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The guidance to create files under specs/<spec_name>/ is appropriate for a spec-writing workflow and does not require additional secrets or elevated access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide presence or modify other skills/configuration. It is user-invocable and uses the normal model-invocation default; this is expected and not a concern here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install spec-workflow-guide - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/spec-workflow-guide - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
