README (SKILL.md)

URL Shortener

Create and manage short URLs with custom aliases and tracking.

Quick Start

# Shorten a URL
python scripts/shorten.py https://example.com/very/long/url

# Custom alias
python scripts/shorten.py https://example.com --alias mylink

Usage

python scripts/shorten.py URL [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --alias TEXT      Custom short alias
  --qr              Generate QR code
  --qr-file PATH   Save QR code to file
  --list           List saved URLs
  --stats ALIAS    Show click statistics

Examples

# Basic shortening
python scripts/shorten.py https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw

# Custom alias
python scripts/shorten.py https://example.com --alias mysite

# Generate QR code
python scripts/shorten.py https://example.com --qr

# List saved URLs
python scripts/shorten.py --list

# Show stats
python scripts/shorten.py --stats mysite

Features

URL shortening
Custom aliases
QR code generation
Local URL storage
Click tracking (simulated)
Export/import URLs

Usage Guidance

This skill looks safe to use as a local helper. Be aware that it does not appear to create hosted public short links, it saves URL history in ~/.url_shortener.json, and QR generation may require installing the qrcode package.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: dinghaibin-url-shortener Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a straightforward local URL shortener and QR code generator. It manages a local JSON database in the user's home directory (`~/.url_shortener.json`) and uses the legitimate `qrcode` library for image generation. The code in `scripts/shorten.py` is clean, lacks any dangerous execution sinks (like eval or system calls), and strictly follows the functionality described in `SKILL.md`.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The artifacts are coherent for a local URL alias/QR utility; the documentation discloses local URL storage and simulated click tracking, and the code does not show hidden network calls or credential use.

✓ Instruction Scope

The instructions show user-invoked Python commands and options; there are no prompt overrides, hidden autonomous workflows, or forced high-impact actions.

ℹ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec, but the documented workflow requires Python and the QR feature may require a manual, unpinned qrcode package install.

ℹ Credentials

The script writes a local URL database in the user's home directory and can write QR images to a default or user-supplied path, which is expected for the purpose but should be noticed.

ℹ Persistence & Privilege

Submitted URLs persist across runs in ~/.url_shortener.json; no elevated privileges, credentials, background process, or account access are shown.

How to Use
