/install powershell
Description
Avoid common PowerShell mistakes — output behavior, array traps, and comparison operator gotchas.
Usage Guidance
This skill is just documentation (no code) and only requires the pwsh binary to be present, so the surface area is small. However, the registry entry has no homepage and an unknown source — if you rely on vendor provenance, verify the origin or prefer a documented source. Also note: while the skill itself won't run code, if you allow an autonomous agent to execute PowerShell on your machine, PowerShell can perform powerful system actions; only enable execution in environments you trust.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: powershell
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides educational content about PowerShell best practices and common pitfalls, which aligns perfectly with its stated description. There are no instructions for the agent to perform any actions, execute commands, access sensitive data, or engage in any form of prompt injection or malicious behavior. The `_meta.json` file contains standard metadata, and the `pwsh` binary requirement is a legitimate dependency for a PowerShell-related skill.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (PowerShell gotchas & tips) align with the declared requirement of the pwsh binary. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is purely advisory: it lists tips, examples, and best practices. It does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary files, access credentials, call external endpoints, or perform data exfiltration.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It mentions using $env:VAR in a descriptive context only, which is appropriate for documentation.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (default) and the skill does not request persistent system presence or attempt to modify other skills or system settings. Model invocation is allowed by default (normal for skills) but the skill itself is read-only documentation.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install powershell - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/powershell - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
