Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it scans local SKILL.md files and generates a categorized skills/INDEX.md, and its install script writes Git hooks that auto-update the index on commit/pull. Before installing: 1) Inspect register.sh and install-hooks.sh yourself (they are plain shell scripts) and confirm you accept the behavior of auto-adding INDEX.md to commits. 2) Run bash skills/skill-index/register.sh manually first to see the generated INDEX.md and confirm formatting. 3) Back up existing .git/hooks or review their contents before running install-hooks.sh. 4) Note compatibility: scripts use grep -P and realpath and expect Bash 4+. 5) If you prefer not to alter commits automatically, skip installing hooks and run register.sh manually or wire it into your own CI instead.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-catalog
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a utility designed to automate the indexing and categorization of other OpenClaw skills. It uses shell scripts (`register.sh` and `install-hooks.sh`) to scan the workspace for metadata and maintain a central `INDEX.md` file via standard Git hooks (`pre-commit` and `post-merge`). The behavior is transparent, well-documented, and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or unauthorized access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the code and SKILL.md: the scripts scan skills/, parse SKILL.md frontmatter, categorize entries, and write skills/INDEX.md. Required capabilities (git, bash) align with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and scripts stay within the stated scope (search skills/, parse, generate INDEX.md). They also instruct installing Git hooks that run register.sh on commit/pull and the pre-commit hook will automatically git add the generated INDEX.md when skills/ changes — this is expected but can be surprising because it mutates commits without further confirmation.
Install Mechanism
No external downloads or installs. It's an instruction-only skill with included shell scripts. The only on-disk changes occur when you run install-hooks.sh (it writes .git/hooks/pre-commit and post-merge) and register.sh (writes skills/INDEX.md). No network endpoints or remote code pulls are used.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It does assume local tools (bash 4+, git, grep -P, realpath, mktemp); these are reasonable for the task but may impact portability rather than security.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and model invocation are normal. However, install-hooks.sh gives the skill persistent behavior at the repo level by installing Git hooks that run automatically on commit and after merges; this grants it ongoing influence over commits in that repository (auto-updating and staging INDEX.md).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-catalog - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-catalog - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
