Description
Threads CLI - Read, post, reply, and search on Meta's Threads using OpenClaw browser tool. Use when the user wants to interact with Threads: posting, reading timeline, viewing profiles, replying to threads, or searching.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose but it operates by controlling a browser profile. Before installing or enabling it: (1) ensure the OpenClaw gateway and the 'openclaw' browser profile are trusted and do not contain sessions you don't want an agent to access, (2) be aware that if the profile is logged into Threads the agent can post/reply on your behalf — require manual approval for posting if you want control, (3) only run the headless setup commands (apt/systemd edits) if you trust the source and understand they modify system services, and (4) consider restricting autonomous invocation or requiring user confirmation for any write actions to your account.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: spool
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to its prerequisite instructions in `SKILL.md` that require the AI agent to execute commands with `sudo` privileges. Specifically, it instructs the agent to install `xvfb` using `sudo apt install` and to create/enable systemd services using `sudo tee` and `sudo systemctl`. While these actions are presented as necessary for enabling a headless browser environment, granting an AI agent the capability to perform system-level modifications and package installations with root privileges is a significant security risk, representing broad permissions that could be abused.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Threads CLI) match the SKILL.md: all instructions describe using the OpenClaw browser tool to read, post, reply, view profiles, and search on threads.net. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is focused on browser automation (open, snapshot, act) and stresses taking snapshots and using refs. It also contains setup instructions for headless servers (installing Xvfb, creating systemd service and setting DISPLAY). Those system-level setup steps are relevant to running a browser headlessly but will modify system services if followed — they are not otherwise out-of-scope.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. The only 'install' guidance is optional shell commands to install Xvfb for headless use; this is expected for a browser-based skill and there is no remote code download or package install from untrusted URLs.
Credentials
Skill requests no env vars or credentials, which is proportional. It does require an 'openclaw' browser profile with a logged-in Threads account — implicitly giving the agent the ability to act on that account via the browser tool. That implicit access is normal for a browser automation skill but important for users to understand (the agent can post/reply if the profile is logged in).
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no install-time persistence. The skill can be invoked autonomously (platform default); combined with a logged-in browser profile, that allows actions on the user's Threads account — expected behavior, not a hidden privilege.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install spool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/spool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
