Usage Guidance
This skill is a convenience wrapper around standard pip usage. Before installing or running it, be aware that: pip will download and execute package-install code from PyPI or other indexes — only install packages you trust; the helper may create virtual environments and upgrade pip/setuptools/wheel in them; avoid running installs as root or system-wide unless you intentionally want global changes; network access is required for pip installs (so installs will contact package indexes). If you need stricter isolation, run these commands in an isolated environment or review package sources before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pip
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate and safety-oriented wrapper for Python's pip package manager. The instructions in SKILL.md and the helper script scripts/pip-safe.sh promote best practices such as using virtual environments (venv) and avoiding global installs, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (pip dependency management) align with required binaries (python3, pip/pip3), the brew install of python, and the included helper script. All required items are appropriate for the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only standard pip operations, venv creation, and troubleshooting. The helper script only reads a specified requirements file (when requested) and invokes pip inside specified venvs or via the found Python; it does not attempt to read unrelated system files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
The declared install is a brew formula for python (reasonable for enabling python3 and pip). No downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction are present. SKILL.md also documents an apt alternative in metadata (informational).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill's operations (creating venvs, running pip) do not require additional secrets, so the requested scope is proportional.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (default). The skill does not request permanent presence or modify other skills or global agent configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pip - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pip - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
