README (SKILL.md)

AnkiConnect Skill

This skill provides integration with AnkiConnect, a plugin for Anki that exposes a REST API for interacting with Anki from external applications.

Setup

For installation and usage instructions, refer to the AnkiConnect documentation:

https://git.sr.ht/~foosoft/anki-connect/blob/master/README.md

Usage Guidance
This skill is minimal and appears to only call the local AnkiConnect API. Before installing: (1) ensure you run Anki with the official AnkiConnect plugin; the skill will only be useful if that local service is running; (2) verify AnkiConnect is configured to listen only on localhost (default) — exposing it to the network can let remote parties access your decks; (3) because there is no source/homepage provided in the registry metadata, be cautious about provenance; if you have sensitive flashcards, test with a non-sensitive profile first and confirm the agent only performs the actions you expect.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: anki-connect Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is benign. The `_meta.json` file contains standard metadata. The `SKILL.md` file clearly describes the skill's purpose to interact with AnkiConnect and provides a link to the official AnkiConnect documentation. There are no instructions for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. All content is descriptive and aligns with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md: it targets AnkiConnect and requires Anki with the AnkiConnect plugin. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or credentials are requested. Note: the skill metadata has no homepage/source URL, so provenance is limited but not contradictory.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only a brief description and a link to AnkiConnect documentation; it does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary files, access unrelated environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints beyond AnkiConnect.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code is provided (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself — lowest-risk installation profile.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; this is proportional for a local-Anki integration.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (good). disable-model-invocation is false (agent may invoke autonomously), which is the platform default — acceptable here but be aware an autonomous agent with this skill could make local requests to your running Anki instance.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install anki-connect
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /anki-connect
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
