Usage Guidance
Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Confirm you have and trust a local openclaw gateway/CLI — SKILL.md expects openclaw in PATH even though the registry metadata didn't list it. 2) Be aware the skill will cause the CLI to access ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (check what that token permits). 3) The agent may read/write files you point it at for handoff — avoid referencing sensitive files. 4) There is a shell-command interpolation risk: ensure the implementation passes messages safely (as argv) or escapes user content to avoid command injection. 5) If you follow the README's git clone step, inspect the repo before running code. If you need higher confidence, ask the publisher for (a) an explicit required-binaries entry listing openclaw, (b) a note on how messages are passed to the CLI (argv vs raw shell interpolation), and (c) confirmation about any network endpoints the local gateway might forward messages to.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-bridge
Version: 1.0.0
The openclaw-bridge skill is a legitimate utility designed to facilitate communication between Claude Code and a local OpenClaw gateway. It uses the 'openclaw' CLI to send and receive messages, providing clear instructions for the AI agent on how to parse JSON responses and handle gateway health checks. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found in SKILL.md or the associated files.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose (send messages to a local OpenClaw gateway via the openclaw CLI) is coherent with the SKILL.md. However the registry metadata lists no required binaries while SKILL.md explicitly requires the openclaw CLI in PATH — a mismatch between declared requirements and runtime instructions.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to run shell commands embedding user messages (e.g., openclaw agent --message "<message>") and to write/read temporary or shared files (e.g., cat /path/to/.continue-here.md). That gives the skill authority to access arbitrary user files referenced for handoff and raises a command-injection risk if messages are interpolated into shell without proper escaping. The SKILL.md also notes the CLI reads ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json for an auth token (the agent does not read it directly, but invoking the CLI will).
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no automated install spec), which is lower-risk. The README suggests installing the skill by cloning a GitHub repo (git clone https://github.com/nerua1/openclaw-bridge), which is typical but requires you to trust that repository before running any code from it.
Credentials
No environment variables are requested by the registry, which is consistent with relying on the local openclaw CLI. However, the CLI will access a local auth token at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json; you should verify what that token can do and whether invoking the CLI will forward data elsewhere. The skill does not request unrelated credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated platform privileges. It does not claim to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-bridge - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-bridge - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
openclaw-bridge 1.0.0 – Initial release
- Enables Claude Code to send messages to a local OpenClaw/Rook gateway and receive responses.
- Supports agent-to-agent communication via simple CLI commands (ask, notify, agent listing, gateway health check).
- Trigger phrases like "ask openclaw", "tell rook", and "delegate to kimi" for seamless task delegation or second opinion requests.
- Automatically parses and returns agent responses inline; handles error reporting if the gateway is unreachable.
- Requires the OpenClaw gateway to be running locally and the CLI available in PATH.
