Description
Track, manage, and report on homelab hardware inventory with details on purchase, warranty, power use, location, and generate insurance-ready reports.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a straightforward local inventory tool. Before installing/using it: (1) confirm you are comfortable storing asset data (serial numbers, purchase prices, locations) in the default ~/.openclaw/workspace/homelab-assets/inventory.json or choose a secure path via HOMELAB_ASSETS_PATH; (2) set appropriate file permissions to restrict access (chmod 600) if the data is sensitive; (3) run the included scripts locally with Python 3 and inspect them yourself (they are human-readable) — they perform only JSON read/write and reporting; (4) if you intend to run the skill autonomously via an agent, be aware the agent could run these scripts on your behalf, but because the scripts have no network calls or credential access the blast radius is limited; (5) avoid copying the inventory file to untrusted services or repositories without redacting sensitive fields.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nai-homelab-assets
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate hardware inventory management tool that operates locally. It uses standard Python libraries to manage a JSON database located at ~/.openclaw/workspace/homelab-assets/inventory.json. Analysis of the scripts (e.g., add_asset.py, report.py) and the SKILL.md instructions reveals no network activity, no shell command execution, no data exfiltration, and no evidence of prompt injection or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe a local homelab inventory and the included scripts (add, update, list, search, report) implement exactly that functionality. There are no unexpected external integrations or unrelated environment variables requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts confine operations to reading and writing a single JSON inventory file (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace/homelab-assets/inventory.json, overrideable with HOMELAB_ASSETS_PATH). Instructions do not request reading unrelated system files, shell history, or sending data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no remote downloads; the skill is delivered as local Python scripts. This is low risk — nothing is fetched from external URLs or installed system-wide.
Credentials
The skill requires no credentials or special environment variables; only an optional HOMELAB_ASSETS_PATH to override the inventory location. This is proportional to its stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not forced-always, does not request system-wide configuration changes, and only writes to its own inventory file. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but is not by itself a problem here because the skill has no network/exfiltration behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nai-homelab-assets - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nai-homelab-assets - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
