Description
Show bilingual learning tips while OpenClaw is thinking. 75 tips covering AI interaction, prompt engineering, productivity, and wisdom. Non-intrusive, works...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it reads local tips files and returns formatted tip text for display. Things to consider before installing: (1) The adapters shown are examples — only Telegram, Feishu, and WhatsApp adapters are provided in code; other platforms mentioned in the docs are not implemented. (2) Running the example adapters requires platform credentials (Telegram Bot token, Feishu APP_ID/APP_SECRET, or WhatsApp auth) and the WhatsApp example writes auth state to disk — only provide credentials you trust and run examples in a secure environment. (3) The skill will send a message before each AI response if you wire it into the default flow, which could be noisy in group chats; review/adjust automatic usage if that matters. Otherwise the files contain no network callbacks or hidden endpoints and no unexplained requests for secrets.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: waiting-tips
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate utility designed to display bilingual learning tips while an AI agent processes requests. The code across 'index.js', 'src/', and the platform-specific examples (Telegram, Feishu, WhatsApp) is well-structured and strictly follows the stated purpose of message handling and tip rotation. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized network calls, or malicious prompt injection; all file system operations are localized to the skill's own directory, and the 'build.sh' script performs standard string escaping for JSON generation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (waiting tips while OpenClaw thinks) matches the implementation: core modules load tips/*.txt and return random bilingual tips in several display styles. Required capabilities are minimal and proportional — no unexpected credentials, binaries, or external services are required by the core skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs sending a tip before the AI response and describes adding tips by editing tips/*.txt — that matches the code. Small inconsistencies: README and SKILL.md claim support for many platforms (Discord, Slack, iMessage) but the provided adapters are only for Telegram, Feishu, and WhatsApp; those other platforms are not present in the code. Examples show integrations that require platform credentials (e.g., BOT_TOKEN, APP_ID/APP_SECRET, WhatsApp auth files) — those are example usages, not required by the skill itself, but users should be aware supplying those credentials is necessary to run the adapters.
Install Mechanism
There is no automatic install script fetched from the network; package.json and a local build.sh/test are included. README suggests cloning from a GitHub repo or local install — both are standard and traceable. No downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction are present in the manifest.
Credentials
The skill does not declare or require any environment variables or secrets. Example adapters (not required to use the core skill) demonstrate typical platform credentials (Telegram bot token, Feishu app id/secret, WhatsApp auth) — these are expected for those adapters but are optional and not requested by the core plugin itself.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request 'always: true' and is user-invocable. It registers an optional tool (optional: true) and does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. Example adapters may write auth files (WhatsApp example), but that's part of running those adapters and not the core skill requesting elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install waiting-tips - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/waiting-tips - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
