/install filesystem
Description
Perform advanced filesystem tasks including listing, recursive searching by name or content, batch copying/moving/deleting files, and analyzing directory siz...
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want the agent to help with local filesystem work. Before approving bulk delete, move, rename, or in-place replacement commands, check the target directory, preview the matched files, and keep backups for important data. Optional tools like tree, fd, and ripgrep should be installed only through a package manager you trust.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: filesystem
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides extensive capabilities for arbitrary shell command execution, including file creation, modification, deletion, and the installation of new software via `brew install` (e.g., `tree`, `fd`, `ripgrep`) as seen in `SKILL.md`. While these operations are presented as legitimate filesystem management tools, their broad scope and power, particularly the ability to install external programs and modify files in-place (`sed -i`), introduce significant security risks. There is no explicit malicious intent within the provided files, but these capabilities could be easily abused for data exfiltration, system compromise, or persistence if the agent is prompted maliciously or operates in an insecure environment.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's capabilities are broad local filesystem operations: listing, searching, directory analysis, copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and in-place text replacement. Those capabilities match the stated filesystem-management purpose.
Instruction Scope
Several examples operate recursively and include destructive or mutating commands such as delete, move, and sed replacement, but the artifact discloses these actions and includes reminders to preview, confirm, and back up before bulk operations.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains a single non-executable SKILL.md and no installer, package manifest, scripts, or automatic setup. Optional Homebrew installs for tree, fd, and ripgrep are shown as user-directed examples.
Credentials
Broad local file access is inherent to the skill's purpose. The artifact does not request credentials, remote services, network transfer, account access, or private session/profile stores.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background workers, privilege escalation, hidden execution, or automatic runtime behavior was found. The only privilege-related text is a caution that some filesystem operations may require care around permissions or system directories.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install filesystem - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/filesystem - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
