Description
Recommend optimal Reserved Instance and Savings Plan portfolio based on AWS usage patterns
Usage Guidance
This instruction-only advisor appears coherent and safe in design, but exercise common-sense caution: (1) Run the suggested aws CLI commands yourself in your environment and paste only the exported JSON/results — do not paste access keys, secret keys, session tokens, or other credentials. (2) Before sharing outputs, scrub any sensitive identifiers you don't want disclosed (long-lived access keys, secret values, or credentials accidentally included). (3) Note the skill author/source/homepage are not provided; if you will share sensitive cost data, consider using a vetted internal tool or performing the analysis offline. (4) The SKILL.md includes sample commands and an IAM policy for read-only data collection — that policy is a reasonable minimum if you choose to automate data export, but the skill itself does not request or use credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ri-savings-advisor Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as benign. Despite declaring `bash` as a tool, the `SKILL.md` explicitly instructs the AI agent: "This skill is instruction-only. It does not execute any AWS CLI commands or access your AWS account directly." and "Never ask for credentials, access keys, or secret keys — only exported data or CLI/console output." It also advises the agent to "confirm no credentials are included before processing" user data. These strong, explicit negative instructions mitigate any potential risk from the `bash` tool declaration, ensuring the skill functions as a data analysis tool based on user-provided input, without direct system interaction or credential handling.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the requested inputs (AWS Cost Explorer reports, RI inventory) and analysis steps. The SKILL.md explicitly states it will not access AWS accounts and asks the user to provide exported data. Minor provenance concern: source/homepage are missing (owner ID present), which reduces ability to vet the author but does not create functional incoherence.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are scoped to asking the user for cost/usage exports or textual descriptions and then performing analysis and recommendations. The doc explicitly forbids asking for credentials and tells the agent to confirm pasted data contains no credentials before processing. No instructions reference unrelated system files or secrets.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This is the lowest-risk install profile and consistent with the stated behavior.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Sample AWS CLI commands and a minimal read-only IAM policy are provided as guidance for collecting exported data; these are proportional and expected for the stated task.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills. disable-model-invocation is the default (false) which is normal; nothing here elevates persistence or privilege beyond expectations.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install ri-savings-advisor
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /ri-savings-advisor
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
