Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement a distributed SETI client, but you must trust the coordinator it contacts. Before installing/running: (1) verify the coordinator domain (https://claw99.app) and the project origin — there is no homepage or repo linked in the metadata; (2) do not provide your private wallet key — only register a dedicated receiving address; (3) consider setting OpenSETI_COORDINATOR to an official/verified endpoint or auditing network traffic from the script to confirm work units come from Breakthrough Listen; (4) run the script in a sandbox/container with limited network permissions if you want to test it; (5) inspect the remainder of the script (the file was truncated in the package metadata) to ensure there is no hidden behavior such as arbitrary code execution or additional exfiltration. If you cannot verify the coordinator or project provenance, avoid running this on sensitive machines or with privileged network access.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openseti-skill Version: 0.1.0 The OpenSETI skill bundle is a distributed computing client designed to analyze radio telescope data. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, benign instructions without any prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/openseti.py` script performs signal processing using standard libraries (NumPy, SciPy), communicates with a hardcoded coordinator URL (`https://claw99.app/coordinator`) to fetch work units and submit results, and stores its configuration in `~/.openseti/config.json`. There is no evidence of malicious behavior such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The script downloads work unit data but processes it as binary signal data, not as executable code, aligning with its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The code and SKILL.md align with a distributed SETI scanner: it fetches work from a coordinator, processes data locally, and posts results. However, the coordinator default URL (https://claw99.app/coordinator) and a hard-coded API key are embedded in the script while the SKILL.md claims data comes from the Breakthrough Listen archive — there is no homepage or authoritative source linking the coordinator to Breakthrough Listen. That mismatch is unexpected and worth verifying.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited and concrete (register wallet, run scan, continuous mode). The script only reads/writes a config file in ~/.openseti and performs network calls to the coordinator; it does not request arbitrary local files or secrets in the SKILL.md. It stores only the wallet address (not a private key) in config, which matches the documented register flow.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with bundled Python script(s); there is no installer that downloads arbitrary binaries or writes to unexpected system locations. Dependencies are standard Python packages (numpy, scipy, requests) as documented.
Credentials
No required env vars are declared, but the script uses optional OpenSETI_COORDINATOR and OpenSETI_API_KEY environment variables and contains a hard-coded coordinator URL and API key. Embedding an API key and default coordinator domain without providing an authoritative source is disproportionate and requires trust in that remote service. The skill asks to register a Solana wallet address (public address only) — it does not ask for private keys, which is appropriate.
Persistence & Privilege
The script writes only to a per-user config directory (~/.openseti) to save the wallet address. The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system-wide configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install openseti-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /openseti-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
