/install synology
Description
Plan, harden, and recover Synology NAS and DSM setups with storage design, backup discipline, remote access, and Container Manager workflows.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent with Synology administration work. Before installing or activating: (1) review and approve creation of ~/synology/ if you do not want local state stored; the skill will ask before creating it; (2) never paste passwords, QuickConnect tokens, OTPs, private keys, or full support bundles into chat — the SKILL.md already forbids this; (3) be aware the agent may request you perform DSM admin or SSH actions for live changes and will ask for explicit confirmation before any destructive operations; (4) if you do not want the agent to store any local notes, deny initialization and use the skill in read-only mode. If you want greater assurance, ask the maintainer for provenance or run the guidance in a read-only session yourself.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: synology
Version: 1.0.0
The Synology skill bundle is a well-structured set of instructions and documentation for managing Synology NAS devices. It prioritizes data safety, explicitly forbids the storage of secrets (passwords, OTPs, keys), and requires user confirmation for destructive or high-impact actions. The included shell commands in setup.md and troubleshooting.md are standard diagnostic tools (e.g., df, mount, dmesg) used to gather system state, and the local storage setup uses restrictive file permissions (chmod 700/600) to protect user data.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (Synology / DSM planning, hardening, recovery) match the contents: guidance covers storage, backups, remote access, packages, Container Manager, and incident response. The skill requests no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths outside the declared optional ~/synology/ memory directory.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are primarily read-only diagnostics (cat /etc.defaults/VERSION, df -h, dmesg, /proc/mdstat, etc.) and high-level procedural guidance. The only write action is an optional local workspace under ~/synology/ (created only after explicit confirmation per the SKILL.md). This storage is used for non-secret metadata (model, DSM version, inventory, incidents). The skill explicitly forbids storing passwords, QuickConnect credentials, OTP codes, serial numbers, or sensitive support bundles.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. No downloads, packages, or extracted archives are requested. This minimizes disk/exec footprint and risk.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no external services. The only filesystem interaction is optional creation of ~/synology/ to hold metadata; the SKILL.md documents what will and will not be stored and sets secure file permissions (chmod 700/600).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill can persist non-secret context in a local folder (~/synology/) with user confirmation; it is not marked always:true and thus is not force-included. Autonomous invocation (disable-model-invocation: false) is the platform default — the skill may run when triggered by relevant Synology queries, which is expected for this kind of helper.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install synology - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/synology - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
