Description
Transform raw AI output into platform-ready content with proper formatting, metadata, and cleanup. Markdown, HTML, plain text, and structured data output.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a local formatter/cleanup tool. Things to consider before installing or running:
- No credentials or network access are requested, and processing is local — good for privacy.
- The tool intentionally does not sanitize HTML/LaTeX output. Do NOT paste generated HTML into admin panels or production pages without review, especially if input came from untrusted sources.
- The cleanup engine uses regex patterns and user-editable rules (config). Custom or aggressive regexes can remove legitimate content or produce unexpected edits—review and test on sample files first.
- Batch mode will process every .txt file in a directory—use a safe test directory first to confirm behavior.
- If you need sanitization, publishing automation, or image uploads, those are explicitly out of scope; consider adding a sanitization step or a separate uploader.
Overall: coherent and low-risk for local use; review outputs before publishing and be cautious with untrusted inputs or custom regex rules.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: output-forge
Version: 1.0.1
The OutputForge bundle is a text-processing utility designed to format AI-generated content for various platforms (WordPress, Medium, etc.) and remove common AI disclaimers using regex. Analysis of the Python scripts (output_forge.py, output_clean.py, output_templates.py) shows standard file I/O and string manipulation without any network calls, obfuscation, or attempts to access sensitive system data. While the tool lacks robust HTML/LaTeX sanitization for untrusted inputs—a vulnerability that could lead to XSS if misused—this is explicitly documented as a known constraint in LIMITATIONS.md rather than an intentional exploit.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the code and SKILL.md: scripts load config_example.json, perform AI-ism cleanup, apply templates, split threads, support batch processing and write local files. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the Python code stick to reading text input (file or stdin), applying regex-based cleanup, templating, and writing outputs. Important caveats are documented: processing is local and there is no sanitization for HTML output — feeding untrusted input may result in generated HTML/LaTeX that contains active/script content. Batch mode processes all .txt files in a directory, which is expected but worth noting.
Install Mechanism
No install spec, no external downloads, and the project claims only standard-library Python 3.7+. Files are pure Python source shipped in the skill — low install risk.
Credentials
No required environment variables, no credentials, and only local config files (config.json/config_example.json) are read. The config may include user-supplied regex rules, which is expected for customization but means malicious/overbroad patterns in config could alter outputs.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and only writes output files the user requests. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal for skills) but does not increase risk here given the local-only behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install output-forge - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/output-forge - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
