/install priceclaw
Description
Query and contribute to PriceClaw, a crowdsourced price database. Search prices, submit new price data, and vote on existing entries.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (search and submit prices), but exercise caution before installing: 1) The skill's registry entry has no verified homepage/source — confirm https://priceclaw.io is legitimate before proceeding. 2) The skill will drive a browser OAuth flow and may write PRICECLAW_API_KEY to ~/.openclaw/.env or openclaw.json — only allow this after you verify the auth URL points to the official site and explicitly consent. 3) If asked, prefer the browser flow over pasting third-party access tokens; if you must provide a token, be deliberate and consider using a throwaway or scope-limited token you can revoke. 4) After setup, inspect ~/.openclaw/.env or openclaw.json to ensure the skill appended the key (did not overwrite other vars) and revoke the API key if you see unexpected activity. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher/source for a verifiable homepage or repository before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: priceclaw
Version: 1.0.3
The PriceClaw skill manages API authentication by instructing the agent to handle third-party access tokens (GitHub, Google, Discord) and persist API keys to the local filesystem (~/.openclaw/.env). While the instructions emphasize user consent and the actions are consistent with the stated purpose, the handling of sensitive credentials and filesystem modification are high-risk behaviors. The skill communicates with priceclaw.io.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description, required env var (PRICECLAW_API_KEY), and declared config paths (~/.openclaw/.env, openclaw.json) are consistent with a client that reads and writes a crowdsourced price DB. Minor inconsistency: registry metadata lists no homepage/source, but SKILL.md references https://priceclaw.io and its API docs — lack of a verifiable source increases risk.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-task: it describes search, place resolution, submissions, voting, and an OAuth browser flow to obtain an API key. It explicitly instructs the agent to write the returned API key to the user's OpenClaw config only after asking for permission. This is within the stated scope, but writing to user config and polling an auth endpoint are sensitive operations and should only proceed with explicit user consent and URL verification.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes the risk of arbitrary code being downloaded or executed.
Credentials
Only one required credential (PRICECLAW_API_KEY) is declared, which is appropriate for a service that requires authenticated writes. The listed config paths are reasonable for persisting that API key. The SKILL.md cautions not to store third-party provider tokens — aligns with principle of minimal credential exposure.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is normal. The skill requests permission to write to the user's OpenClaw config (persisting the API key) but states it will prompt the user first. This is an expected behavior for a client that needs to persist an API key, but it is a sensitive action and should be confirmed by the user.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install priceclaw - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/priceclaw - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.3
- Added new metadata to improve compatibility and environment requirements, required environment variables, supported OS, and config paths.
- Version updated from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.
- No changes to skill logic or endpoints; documentation and usage remain the same.
v1.0.2
