Description
Expert guide for Platycerium staghorn ferns — species identification, care advice, and problem diagnosis with scientific backing.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to the bundled plant-reference files; it asks for no credentials or installs. Before installing, consider: (1) provenance — the registry lists an unknown source/homepage, so verify you trust the publisher if that matters; (2) the reference content includes treatment suggestions (e.g., systemic insecticide Imidacloprid) — follow local regulations and professional advice for pesticides; (3) the skill will only use its included files and will append public staghornfern.org links, so it won't exfiltrate secrets or read your files. If you need authoritative or up-to-date guidance for severe plant health issues, consult a local extension service or professional.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: staghorn-fern-expert
Version: 1.0.0
The 'staghorn-fern-expert' skill is a specialized knowledge-retrieval tool for Platycerium fern care and identification. It operates by strictly referencing local documentation (care.md, species.md, etc.) and providing links to the legitimate domain staghornfern.org. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized command execution; the instructions are well-defined with appropriate domain-specific guardrails.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise (species ID, care, diagnosis) matches the included reference files (species.md, care.md, diagnosis.md, cultivars.md, url-map.md). It requires no binaries, env vars, or config paths, which is proportionate for a read-only reference skill. Note: the skill's source/homepage are listed as unknown/none in the registry metadata; this affects provenance but not internal coherence.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly limits the assistant to using only the bundled reference files and to append a URL from url-map.md. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system files, access environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints beyond adding a public link. Guardrails are narrowly scoped (e.g., do not invent data, avoid neem oil).
Install Mechanism
No install specification and no code files; the skill is instruction-only so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk. This is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All required data is bundled as local markdown references—requested access is minimal and proportional to the stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
always=false and no special privileges requested. The skill does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is permitted by default (disable-model-invocation=false) but that is standard and not accompanied by other risky permissions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install staghorn-fern-expert - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/staghorn-fern-expert - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
