/install pest-analysis
Description
Analyze macro-environmental factors affecting an industry or company. Use as a precursor to strategic analysis, market entry assessment, or scenario planning.
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and appears internally consistent with its stated purpose. It does not request credentials, install software, or access files, so technical risk is low. Before using it: avoid pasting confidential or proprietary data into the prompt (the skill will analyze whatever you give it), specify the time horizon and context for accurate results, and validate any factual claims the skill produces against trusted sources if you need them for decision-making. If you want the skill to access live market data or internal documents, implement that via a separate, explicit integration that requires appropriate credentials and review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pest-analysis
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle 'pest-analysis' is a standard template for conducting macro-environmental business analysis. The SKILL.md file contains only instructional framework and formatting guidelines for the AI agent to perform PEST/PESTLE analysis, with no evidence of malicious instructions, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (PEST analysis) match the SKILL.md instructions: identify, categorize, assess, and prioritize macro-environmental factors. There are no unrelated requirements (no env vars, binaries, or installs) that would be disproportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions stay within scope: they describe how to brainstorm, categorize, assess impact/probability, and produce a formatted PEST output for the provided $ARGUMENTS. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading files, accessing environment variables, calling external endpoints, or exfiltrating data.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which minimizes risk because nothing is written to disk or downloaded during installation.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. This is proportionate: a PEST analysis does not require access to external secrets or system configuration.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no elevated privileges requested. The skill may be invoked autonomously by the agent (disable-model-invocation is false), which is the platform default; given the skill's lack of external access or credentials, this does not introduce elevated risk here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pest-analysis - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pest-analysis - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
