Usage Guidance
This skill is coherently an installer for the openclaw-skill-usage plugin. Before proceeding: (1) confirm the user explicitly wants the plugin and understands the gateway will be restarted, (2) ensure the operator running the commands has permission to restart the OpenClaw Gateway, (3) review the plugin source (https://github.com/lucifinil/openclaw-skill-usage) if you want to audit what the npm package does, and (4) if enabling shared/cloud analytics, get explicit consent and consider claiming the TiDB Cloud instance into your own account so you control it. If you prefer, run the listed commands manually rather than allowing an automated agent to execute them.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-usage
Version: 1.0.3
The skill automates high-privilege operations including the installation of an external npm package (openclaw-skill-usage) and a gateway restart. It also configures data synchronization to a remote TiDB Cloud Zero instance, which constitutes a form of data exfiltration, even if limited to metadata as claimed. While the SKILL.md provides detailed privacy disclosures and requires user consent, the inherent risks of executing external code and transmitting system usage data to a third-party cloud service align with the criteria for a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description match the actions described in SKILL.md (install openclaw-skill-usage, restart gateway, optionally join a cloud-backed leaderboard). It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to running the OpenClaw CLI to install the plugin, restarting the gateway, and verifying /skillusage commands. The doc explicitly requires user consent before enabling cloud sync. Note: restarting the gateway is a privileged local operation and should only be done with clear user acknowledgement.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill (no install spec). The install command delegates to the OpenClaw CLI which will install the npm package; no arbitrary download URLs or archive extraction are embedded in the skill itself. Installing a remote plugin still results in executing third-party code (npm package) which is expected for a plugin install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. The only external service mentioned is an optional TiDB Cloud Zero instance for shared analytics; the SKILL.md states only limited usage metadata (skill names, labels, timestamps, latency) are synced and explicitly disclaims syncing message bodies or secrets. Users should still evaluate privacy/policy implications before enabling cloud sync.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is normal. The skill does not request persistent platform-level privileges or modify other skills' configs. The main privileged action is restarting the gateway during install — an appropriate and communicated step for a plugin installation.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-usage - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-usage - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
