Description
Research and guide VA disability claims for U.S. military veterans. Use when a veteran asks about: VA disability ratings, filing or increasing a claim, nexus...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and self-contained: the rating script and reference documents match the described VA-claims purpose and nothing requests credentials or external installs. Before using: (1) verify the legal/policy facts (PACT Act, presumptives, thresholds) against official VA.gov guidance — laws and VA rules change; (2) review the nexus template and be careful with personally identifying data (do not paste full SSNs or sensitive PII into any public or untrusted system); (3) note the skill mentions paid telehealth nexus services — treat referrals as suggestions and verify providers and costs independently; (4) the included Python script runs locally and has no network code, but you may review it for minor logic/display quirks before relying on results. If you need stronger assurances (e.g., audits of every file or provenance of the package author), request the publisher/source before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: va-claims-assistant Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a legitimate tool designed to assist U.S. military veterans with the VA disability claims process. It contains a Python script (scripts/va_rating_calc.py) that performs mathematical calculations for disability ratings using the VA's 'whole person' method, and several reference documents (references/conditions.md, references/nexus-template.md) providing informational guidance. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious code execution, or harmful prompt injection was found; the logic is transparent and strictly aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and included files (rating calculator, nexus template, condition references, rating math) align with providing guidance on VA disability claims; nothing in the manifest requests unrelated capabilities or credentials.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-topic: it guides interviewing veterans, calculating combined ratings using the included script, preparing nexus letters, and filing strategies. It does not instruct the agent to read system files, query external endpoints, exfiltrate data, or access environment variables beyond what's present in the skill.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with bundled reference files and a small local script). Nothing is downloaded from external URLs or installed into system locations.
Credentials
No required environment variables, credentials, or config paths are declared or used by the SKILL.md or the included script. The skill does not request unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled, and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Its autonomy flags are default and appropriate for a user-invocable assistant.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install va-claims-assistant
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /va-claims-assistant
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
