Description
Tool discovery and shell one-liner reference for sysadmin, DevOps, and security tasks. AUTO-CONSULT this skill when the user is: troubleshooting network issues, debugging processes, analyzing logs, working with SSL/TLS, managing DNS, testing HTTP endpoints, auditing security, working with containers, writing shell scripts, or asks 'what tool should I use for X'. Source: github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want a broad dual-use sysadmin and security reference and will review commands before use. Do not let an agent blindly run examples from this skill, especially packet capture, netcat, hping3, delete, secure-wipe, /etc/profile, external scanner, breach-search, or exploit-related examples. Avoid refresh.sh unless you trust and review the upstream content each time.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sysadmin-toolbox Version: 1.1.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its automated content refresh mechanism. The `SKILL.md` file explicitly instructs the AI agent to execute `scripts/refresh.sh` weekly, which in turn clones content from an external GitHub repository (`https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge.git`) and overwrites local reference files. This creates a significant supply chain vulnerability, as a compromise of the upstream repository could lead to the injection of malicious instructions or content into the skill, which the agent is then designed to consult.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose covers sysadmin, DevOps, and security reference use, and many files fit that purpose. However, the references also include copyable traffic flooding, remote shell, credential-capture, exploit, cracking, mass scanning, and disk-wipe material without enough boundaries, which is broader and higher impact than routine troubleshooting.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md tells agents to auto-consult for broad everyday topics such as network troubleshooting, HTTP endpoint testing, shell scripts, containers, and security audits, but it does not require authorization checks or safe alternatives before loading high-risk references.
Install Mechanism
The refresh script is disclosed, but it clones an unpinned external GitHub repository and overwrites local reference files without integrity checks or review gates. I did not find a cron, systemd, or launchd artifact that installs the claimed weekly schedule, so this is an unverified auto-refresh claim rather than proven hidden persistence.
Credentials
The skill points users to external scanners, lookup services, breach/search resources, and shell functions that send domains or IPs to third parties, with little warning that internal infrastructure identifiers or investigation targets may be disclosed.
Persistence & Privilege
I did not find hidden credential-store access, privilege escalation by the skill itself, or installed background persistence. The reference content nevertheless includes commands that modify system-wide files, expose shells over the network, kill processes, and irreversibly delete or wipe data.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sysadmin-toolbox
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sysadmin-toolbox
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
