Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent with its description, but be mindful of privacy when following the browser-use fallback: the provided command sends tracking numbers, tracking URLs, and order details to a cloud browser/LLM service (explicitly noted by the author). If your shipments are sensitive, run the HTTP-only checks locally or perform manual browser checks. Before using the cloud fallback, review the 'browser_use' package and the cloud provider's privacy/retention policies, and confirm whether any API keys or credentials are required. If you enforce strict egress policies, run the script in an environment without outbound access or disallow the cloud browser step.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: shipment-tracker
Version: 1.1.1
The skill's core Python script (`shipment_tracker.py`) is clean, performing file reads from a specified markdown file and making HTTP GET requests to hardcoded carrier tracking domains using standard libraries, with no subprocess calls, shell execution, or file writes. The `SKILL.md` transparently discloses that the 'browser-use fallback' feature, when recommended and executed, sends tracking numbers and order information to cloud services and an external LLM for processing. This external data transmission is explicitly documented with clear privacy warnings and is part of the skill's stated functionality for reliable tracking, not a stealthy or unauthorized exfiltration attempt. The instructions to the agent are aligned with the stated purpose, and the task given to the external LLM is specific to tracking status.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the implementation: the script parses a shipments markdown file, detects carrier patterns, builds carrier tracking URLs, and performs HTTPS GETs to carrier pages. There are no unrelated permissions, binaries, or credentials requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script are scoped to reading a single markdown file and making read-only HTTPS requests. However, the SKILL.md explicitly supplies an optional 'browser-use' command that sends tracking numbers and URLs to a cloud browser/LLM service for JS-heavy pages; that step transmits user shipment data outside the local machine and is a privacy decision the user must make.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads are provided (instruction-only skill + included Python script). Nothing is written to disk by an installer; risk from installation is low. The optional dependency 'browser-use' is noted but not auto-installed by the skill.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is appropriate. One caveat: the optional browser-use flow relies on a third-party module/service that may require credentials or send data to external providers; those network interactions are not controlled via declared env vars in the skill metadata.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent presence (always:false), does not modify other skills or system configs, and performs only read operations on a specified file and outbound HTTPS GETs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install shipment-tracker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/shipment-tracker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
