Generate, audit, and maintain a PROJECT-NARRATIVE.md file — a single-source-of-truth document that captures your entire project's architecture, decisions, in...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: scan a repository, generate a narrative scaffold, and audit it. Before installing or running it: 1) Review the included scripts (they are small and stdlib-only) and run them locally in a safe environment (not a machine with broad network access to sensitive internal services). 2) Avoid running the audit with --check-urls if you don't want the tool to probe URLs referenced in your docs (it will make outbound HTTP requests). 3) Be aware the tool will note where credentials/IDs are stored (paths/names) but not their values; if you don't want those paths documented, remove or sanitize them before running. 4) The tool needs read access to the repo and to run git commands; don't run it with elevated privileges or in environments containing secrets you don't want scanned. If you want higher assurance, run the scripts on a clone of the repo with secrets removed or in an isolated environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: project-narrator
Version: 1.1.0
The project-narrator skill is a comprehensive documentation and auditing tool designed to maintain a 'PROJECT-NARRATIVE.md' file as a single source of truth for a project. It includes two Python scripts, generate.py and audit.py, which scan the workspace for architecture, dependencies, infrastructure, and API routes using standard libraries and git commands. The skill follows security best practices by explicitly instructing the AI agent to avoid including actual secrets and by scanning only example environment files (.env.example). All identified behaviors, such as filesystem scanning and URL reachability checks, are directly aligned with the stated purpose of project documentation and disaster recovery preparation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the behavior: the Python scripts scan the workspace, read package/config files, inspect git history, and produce/audit a narrative. The declared requirements (none) align with the code — scripts use only stdlib and rely on local filesystem/git. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to scan the codebase, run the included scripts, and run git commands; this matches the scripts. A few instructions can broaden the agent's reach: (1) document credential/ID locations (explicitly without secrets) and (2) optionally check OpenClaw cron jobs and run --check-urls in the audit script. These steps can reveal where secrets are stored (paths/names) and cause outbound network requests if --check-urls is used. The instructions otherwise avoid blind rewriting and require user review before fixes.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and the included Python scripts use only the standard library. Nothing is downloaded or extracted from external URLs and no package managers are invoked by the skill during install.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables or credentials. It legitimately needs filesystem and git access to function. Caveats: (1) it parses .env.example (not .env) but SKILL.md asks the agent to record where credentials/IDs are stored (not their values) — this may reveal paths where secrets live; (2) the audit script has an optional URL-checking mode that will perform outbound HTTP(S) requests to URLs referenced in the narrative. Both behaviors are plausible for the stated purpose but are worth awareness.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request permanent system-wide presence or attempt to modify other skills' configs. No privileged persistence behaviors are present in the files.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install project-narrator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/project-narrator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
