Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it's a local kaizen reference and lightweight tracker that stores entries in $KAIZEN_DIR (default ~/.kaizen). It does not contact remote servers or ask for credentials. Before installing: review the directory it will create (default ~/.kaizen) and decide whether you’re comfortable storing entries there; if you want files elsewhere set KAIZEN_DIR. Note: the script uses simple shell text parsing and in-place edits (sed -i) which may behave differently on some platforms (macOS vs Linux) but this is a portability issue, not a security concern. If you need stronger guarantees, inspect the script yourself or run it in a sandboxed environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: kaizen Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a simple Kaizen continuous improvement tracker. While there is a functional discrepancy between the reference-style commands documented in SKILL.md (e.g., intro, pdca, gemba) and the tracking-style commands actually implemented in scripts/script.sh (e.g., add, list, config), the code is transparent and lacks any high-risk behaviors. There is no evidence of network activity, data exfiltration, or persistence mechanisms. Minor vulnerabilities, such as potential shell injection in the sed command within cmd_config or malformed JSON generation in _save_entry, appear to be unintentional coding flaws rather than malicious logic.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name and description (kaizen reference, PDCA, gemba, A3) match the included content and commands. The skill is an instruction-only interface that invokes scripts/script.sh to provide help and a small local tracker; nothing in the repo requests unrelated cloud credentials, external services, or system-level access.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run scripts/script.sh for listed commands (intro, event, pdca, gemba, a3, daily, examples, checklist, help, version). The script implements local operations only (create/read/write files under $KAIZEN_DIR or $HOME/.kaizen, list/search/remove/export entries). There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, read other env vars, or transmit data externally.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with an included script), so nothing is downloaded or installed at runtime beyond executing the bundled script. This is the lowest-risk install model.
✓ Credentials
The only environment variable referenced is the optional KAIZEN_DIR (documented in SKILL.md) to override the data directory. The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. File access is limited to the skill's data directory under the user's home directory.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills or system-wide agent configuration. It creates and modifies files only within its own data directory.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install kaizen
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /kaizen
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
