Description
Generate platform-tuned social media captions for photography. Use when a user shares a photo and wants captions for posting. Triggers on sharing photos with...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk from a security/privilege perspective because it’s instruction-only and asks for no credentials or installs. Before enabling: (1) remember that captions will include any location or gear info you supply — don’t share photos with sensitive EXIF/location data if you don’t want that published; consider stripping EXIF before sharing. (2) The SKILL.md contains platform-specific rules (hashtag counts, character limits) that may be inaccurate or out of date — review outputs for correctness before posting. (3) The skill has no homepage or verifiable author linked in the package metadata; if provenance matters to you, prefer skills with clear sources. If those caveats are acceptable, the skill's behavior matches its description.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: photo-captions
Version: 1.2.5
The 'photo-captions' skill is a well-documented tool designed to generate platform-specific social media captions for photography. The instructions in SKILL.md are focused entirely on formatting, tone, and content constraints for various platforms (e.g., Instagram, Reddit, Substack) and do not contain any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: it generates captions tailored to many social platforms and the instructions only describe how to format outputs per platform. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions stay within caption-generation scope and do not instruct the agent to read system files, environment variables, or send data to external endpoints. Two items to note: (1) the SKILL.md instructs including location/gear when provided — that can expose sensitive info if the user shares EXIF or location data; (2) there is at least one factual inaccuracy in the guidance (e.g., claiming 'Exactly 5 tags (Instagram's current limit)' which is incorrect relative to Instagram's actual hashtag limits). These are functional/accuracy issues rather than signs of malicious behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or downloaded at install time.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no disproportionate access requested for the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (default) and normal agent invocation permissions. The skill does not request persistent system-wide changes or elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install photo-captions - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/photo-captions - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
