Description
读取 macOS 通知中心,导出到 memory/computer_io/notification/ 目录。让 OpenClaw 了解你的工作动态。
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: read your local macOS notification database and write local summaries for OpenClaw. Key things to consider before installing: - Privacy: the tool reads notification titles and bodies (potentially sensitive). Review the included Python and shell scripts yourself to confirm you are comfortable with what will be collected and where it is stored (~/.openclaw/workspace/memory by default). - macOS permissions: to access the notification DB you'll likely need to grant notification access and Full Disk Access to python3 (a broad privilege). Only grant these if you trust the code and its source. - Source verification: SKILL.md and README reference a GitHub repo (https://github.com/gift-is-coding/...), but the registry metadata shows unknown source/homepage. Confirm the repository origin and review commit history before cloning or running scripts. - Cron / scheduling: adding a recurring job will repeatedly collect notifications. Test the export scripts manually first to inspect outputs, then add scheduling if desired. - Running safely: run the scripts manually in a controlled environment (not as root), consider using a dedicated Python virtualenv, and inspect the files created in /tmp and the OpenClaw memory directory. Avoid a global npm install unless you verify the published package. If you want lower-risk testing, run read_notifications_visual.py or read_notifications.py with a short lookback and output to a local temp file to inspect results before enabling persistent scheduling or granting broad OS permissions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: temp-notification-reader Version: 1.0.0 The skill is designed to read the macOS notification database (db2/db) via read_notifications.py, which requires 'Full Disk Access' and provides access to sensitive private communications, including messages from Teams, Outlook, and WeChat. While the logic appears to stay local and aligns with the stated purpose of generating work summaries, the capability to programmatically capture all system notifications is a high-risk behavior that could be used to intercept 2FA codes, private messages, or other sensitive data appearing in notifications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (read macOS notifications, export to OpenClaw memory) align with the code and scripts, which locate the local notification DB, copy it, parse notifications, and write markdown summaries into the OpenClaw memory directory. No unrelated credentials, cloud APIs, or unexpected binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and scripts explicitly tell the user to run the included export and summary scripts, schedule them (cron/OpenClaw), and grant macOS permissions. They also instruct adding Full Disk Access for python3 so the script can read the notification DB — this is required for the task but grants python3 broad disk access (sensitive). The README/INSTALL text suggests optional npm publishing/commands, but the shipped package is instruction-and-script based; that is a minor documentation mismatch, not a functional inconsistency.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec in the registry (instruction-only). The SKILL.md and README propose cloning the GitHub repo or an npm global install path; the provided files are local scripts and Python code, and the code contains no network calls. No archive downloads or remote installers are invoked by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill asks for no external credentials or environment secrets. It does rely on environment variables for configuration (OUTPUT_DIR, NOTIF_LOOKBACK_MINUTES, WORK_LOOKBACK_MINUTES, MEMORY_DIR) which are reasonable. However, it requires the user to grant system-level permissions (notification access and Full Disk Access for python3) to function; these permissions are proportionate to reading the notification DB but are sensitive and should be granted only if you trust the code.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings automatically. It writes output into OpenClaw's memory directory and uses /tmp for temporary DB copies—both expected. Scheduling is user-directed (cron or OpenClaw jobs) rather than forced.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install temp-notification-reader
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /temp-notification-reader
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
