Description
Manage novel data — chapters, characters, plots — from the terminal fast. Use when outlining chapters, tracking characters, organizing plot timelines.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements an offline CLI that stores logs and exports under ~/.local/share/novel. Before installing, confirm you trust the bytesagain.com source and avoid entering sensitive secrets into the tool (it logs inputs). Because the package contains a shell script, you may want to open and read the full script on your machine before running it. No network calls or credentials are present, and it does not request elevated privileges; expect it to create and modify files in your home directory.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: novel
Version: 2.0.0
The 'Novel' skill is a simple command-line utility designed to log text entries into local files within the user's home directory (~/.local/share/novel/). Analysis of scripts/script.sh reveals basic logging, searching, and exporting functionality (JSON, CSV, TXT) with no network activity, no access to sensitive system files, and no use of dangerous execution patterns like eval or remote downloads. The skill functions entirely offline as stated in SKILL.md and lacks any indicators of malicious intent or prompt-injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise a local novel-management CLI; the included script implements command handlers, local logging, export, search, and status functions that align with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md documents CLI usage and local data paths only. The instructions do not direct the agent to read unrelated system files, remote endpoints, or to exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only risk is low). The package includes a bash script (scripts/script.sh) which, if placed on disk by installation, will run locally — nothing in the script downloads or executes remote code.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The script uses standard HOME and filesystem paths only (creates/reads ~/.local/share/novel). No API keys, tokens, or unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request system-wide changes. It creates and writes only to a per-user directory under the home directory, which is appropriate for its stated function.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install novel - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/novel - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
