Fetch and generate an image of the current weather radar combined with a base map. Use when the user wants to see a rain/weather radar map, current precipita...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to fetching public map and radar tiles and producing a GIF. Before installing, confirm: (1) your agent environment can install/has requests and Pillow or that installing them is acceptable; (2) network access to tile.openstreetmap.org and api.rainviewer.com is allowed and you accept any rate/usage terms (OpenStreetMap requires attribution and has tile usage policies); (3) you want the skill to use a "known user location" — ensure user consent or that the agent supplies coordinates explicitly; and (4) the agent has write access to the output path you choose. If you need stronger guarantees, inspect the script in your environment and run it manually once to verify behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: weather-radar
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate tool for generating animated weather radar GIFs by compositing OpenStreetMap tiles with real-time data from the RainViewer API. The Python script (scripts/generate_radar.py) uses standard libraries like Requests and Pillow to fetch and process images, and the instructions in SKILL.md are consistent with the code's functionality. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the implementation: the included Python script downloads OpenStreetMap tiles and RainViewer radar frames and stitches them into a GIF. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to: look up lat/lon, run scripts/generate_radar.py, and send the output GIF. One minor ambiguity: SKILL.md suggests defaulting to the "user's known location" without specifying how that location is obtained or ensuring user consent — this is a privacy/operational consideration rather than a technical inconsistency.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; it's instruction-only with a bundled Python script. Dependencies are standard Python packages (requests, Pillow) and are noted in the README. No downloads from unknown hosts or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
The skill does not require environment variables, credentials, or access to config paths. It makes network calls only to public RainViewer and OpenStreetMap endpoints, which are appropriate for the task.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system privileges or to modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not excessive for this type of utility.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install weather-radar - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/weather-radar - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
