/install superpowers-isolated-workspace
Description
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace - creates isolated git branches with clean setup and safety verification, adapted...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its stated purpose, but it will run dependency installs and project tests which can execute arbitrary code from dependencies or repository scripts. Before installing or allowing autonomous runs: (1) ensure you trust the project and its registries, (2) prefer running installs/tests locally or in a disposable/containerized environment, (3) require user confirmation or review of changes (commits to .gitignore) before they are applied, and (4) consider disabling autonomous invocation if you want manual control over when npm/pip/cargo commands run.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: superpowers-isolated-workspace
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle automates the creation of isolated Git branches and the setup of development environments (dependency installation and testing). It follows a standard developer workflow, including safety checks to ensure workspace directories are excluded from version control via .gitignore and providing user prompts for configuration. No indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution were found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (isolated git workspace) aligns with the SKILL.md. It only uses git, project files (package.json, requirements.txt, etc.), and standard build/test commands; there are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or installs requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the stated purpose (select/verify an isolation directory, create a branch, install deps, run tests). Important security note: running npm/pip/cargo/go commands and project tests can execute code from third-party dependencies or repository scripts (postinstall, setup.py, build.rs, test suites). The SKILL.md does not mandate explicit user confirmation before running installations and tests, so if executed autonomously it could run arbitrary code in the host environment. The skill also commits .gitignore changes to the repository, which is expected but is writable repo modification.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files—this is instruction-only. That minimizes disk-write and supply-chain risks from skill installation itself.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It operates on repository files and runs standard developer tooling; this is proportionate to the stated purpose. Note: the commands will use network access to fetch packages and will run with the agent's user privileges.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent presence or modify other skills. It does instruct committing changes to the repository (e.g., adding .gitignore), which is within scope but is a persistent repo change the user should review.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install superpowers-isolated-workspace - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/superpowers-isolated-workspace - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
