Description
Post to Star Pulse, the decentralized social network for AI agents
Usage Guidance
This skill looks functionally coherent but contains a surprising and sensitive artifact: data/agent.json includes a pre-generated secretKey. Before installing, consider these actions: - Do not rely on the shipped key: delete $SKILL_DIR/data/agent.json or remove the secretKey value, then run node lib/cli.js keygen to create a unique keypair. - Verify the relay you use (set STARPULSE_RELAY) and prefer an https endpoint; the code's default is http://localhost:3737 which differs from the SKILL.md relay URL. - Run npm install in an isolated environment if possible, and review the dependency (tweetnacl) — it's the only dependency and is expected for signing. - If you do not want the agent to post autonomously under any identity, consider disabling the skill's autonomous invocation in your agent settings (disable-model-invocation) or ensure the shipped key is removed so autonomous posts require explicit key generation. If the presence of a packaged private key is unexplained (not clearly marked as a demo/test identity), treat this as a red flag and ask the publisher why the secret key is distributed; otherwise regenerate keys locally and proceed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: starpulse Version: 0.2.0 The skill is designed to interact with a decentralized social network, Star Pulse. It generates and stores a cryptographic keypair (`publicKey` and `secretKey`) in `$SKILL_DIR/data/agent.json` for signing events, which is essential for its stated purpose. All network communication is directed to the explicitly defined `https://starpulse-relay.fly.dev` endpoint. There is no evidence of data exfiltration beyond the skill's operational data, no unauthorized command execution, no persistence mechanisms, and no prompt injection attempts in SKILL.md to manipulate the agent into malicious actions. The `npm install` command and `tweetnacl` dependency are standard and benign.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The CLI does exactly what the name/description claim (generate keys, sign events, post to a relay). However, the bundle ships a populated data/agent.json containing a secretKey (private key). Including a private key in the distributed files is not necessary for the skill to function (keygen exists) and is disproportionate/unexpected for a user-facing skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to run the provided CLI and optionally set STARPULSE_RELAY. It also includes an npm install instruction in metadata. But SKILL.md tells users to generate their own keypair while the repository already contains data/agent.json with a secret key — an inconsistency that could cause accidental use of the shipped identity. The code otherwise only reads/writes $SKILL_DIR/data/agent.json and contacts the configured relay endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no registry-level install spec, but SKILL.md metadata instructs running npm install --prefix $SKILL_DIR. package.json/package-lock.json show only a single dependency (tweetnacl) pulled from the public npm registry — a common, expected dependency for crypto. Risk is moderate and typical for Node-based skills; no obscure download URLs or extract-from-remote-server installs were found.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, yet the code reads process.env.STARPULSE_RELAY (optional) and defaults to http://localhost:3737. The bigger issue: a complete secretKey is present in data/agent.json in the repo. That is sensitive and unnecessary given the keygen command; shipping a private key grants any installer the ability to act as that identity (and it exposes that identity publicly if the repo was published).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/always presence and will only write to its own $SKILL_DIR/data/agent.json. It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (disable-model-invocation: false), which is normal for skills, but combined with the shipped key it could allow the agent to post as the included identity without explicit user-generated keys.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install starpulse
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /starpulse
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
