Install in OpenClaw
/install save-video
Description
Download and save videos from mainstream websites by providing a video URL for automatic extraction and local saving.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: it runs yt-dlp (via Python) to download videos into a 'videos' folder in the working directory. Before installing, consider: (1) Confirm how the platform will install the yt-dlp dependency (pip install from PyPI is expected). (2) Be aware of legal/terms-of-service and copyright implications of downloading content. (3) The skill will download arbitrary URLs you provide, so only give URLs you trust. (4) If you prefer more containment, run the skill in a sandbox or restrict agent autonomy; review the small Python file yourself if you want to verify there is no hidden behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: save-video
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate utility for downloading videos from various websites using the well-known 'yt-dlp' library. The implementation in 'save_video.py' uses subprocess.run with a list of arguments, which is a secure way to handle external commands, and the 'SKILL.md' documentation accurately describes the tool's functionality without any signs of prompt injection or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, requirements.txt (yt-dlp) and the Python code all align: the skill extracts a URL and invokes yt-dlp to download content. The dependency (yt-dlp) is appropriate for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and included code only parse input for a URL and download the video into a local 'videos' directory. The skill does not reference unrelated files, environment variables, or external endpoints beyond fetching the video sources themselves.
Install Mechanism
No explicit install spec is provided, but requirements.txt lists yt-dlp (a known PyPI package). This is reasonable, but you should verify how the platform will satisfy that dependency (automatic pip install, preinstalled runtime, or manual). There are no obscure download URLs or archive extracts.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code does not access secrets or other system configs.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It only creates a local 'videos' directory to save downloads.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install save-video - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/save-video - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
