Description
Run a live multi-agent scientific collaboration session and return a full summary when complete. Multiple specialised agents work in parallel, challenge each...
Usage Guidance
This skill runs a local Python script from a directory you must already have (SCIENCECLAW_DIR, defaulting to $HOME/scienceclaw), and it will read workspace memory.md and run bin/scienceclaw-watch — which executes code on your machine. Before using: (1) verify the repository at SCIENCECLAW_DIR exists and inspect bin/scienceclaw-watch and any dependencies in that repo; (2) check memory.md for sensitive data you don't want read or included in outputs; (3) confirm you want to give the skill access to your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY; (4) run an initial short session (2 agents, low timeout) in a sandbox or throwaway environment to observe behavior; (5) review the generated files in run_exports/ for anything unexpected. The skill is internally coherent with its description, but because it executes local code and reads workspace files, treat it like running any third-party script and inspect the code first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: scienceclaw-watch Version: 1.0.2 The skill scienceclaw-watch contains a potential shell injection vulnerability in SKILL.md. It instructs the AI agent to execute a bash command using the user's "exact phrasing" for the TOPIC parameter without any sanitization or escaping, which could lead to arbitrary command execution if the input contains shell metacharacters (e.g., backticks or command substitution). While the skill's stated purpose of running a multi-agent scientific collaboration session appears legitimate, this lack of input validation is a high-risk flaw.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the declared requirements: python3 and an Anthropic API key are plausible for running multi-agent LLM-driven sessions. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions require changing into a SCIENCECLAW_DIR, optionally activating a .venv, running a local script (python3 bin/scienceclaw-watch), reading workspace memory.md for context, and reading/writing a timestamped output directory. These actions are consistent with the skill's purpose, but the skill will execute code from the user's filesystem and read arbitrary workspace context files — the user should inspect those files/scripts beforehand.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). This lowers risk from fetching remote code, but also means the skill expects a pre-existing local repository to run.
Credentials
Only the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is declared as the primary credential, which is appropriate for an LLM-driven multi-agent tool. No unrelated secrets or config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true, does not modify other skills, and does not request persistent or system-level privileges. It reads and writes files in a local run_exports path only.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install scienceclaw-watch
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /scienceclaw-watch
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
