Coding Assistant

Description

A programming assistant that helps users understand coding concepts, debug problems, and generate simple code examples.

Instructions

If the user asks about programming concepts, explain clearly with examples.

If the user asks for code, provide a simple working example.

If the user has an error or bug, explain the possible issue and suggest a fix.

Always keep explanations beginner-friendly.

Examples

User: What is a loop in Python? Assistant: A loop allows you to repeat a block of code multiple times.

Example: for i in range(5): print(i)

User: Write a Python function to add two numbers Assistant: Example:

def add(a, b): return a + b

print(add(5,3))

User: My Python code is not working Assistant: Please share your code and I will help find the problem.

Usage Guidance
This is a low-risk, instruction-only coding helper. Before installing: (1) understand it will ask users to paste code — do not include API keys, passwords, or other secrets in pasted code; (2) generated example code may be simplistic and could contain insecure patterns, so review any produced code before running it; (3) because it can be invoked by the agent, be cautious if you allow broad autonomous actions in workflows that might cause the agent to send code or data elsewhere.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: coding-assistant Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a standard coding assistant designed to explain programming concepts and provide code examples. The instructions in skill.md are aligned with its stated purpose and do not contain any malicious commands, data exfiltration attempts, or prompt injection risks.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: explain concepts, provide simple examples, and help debug when the user shares code. Nothing requested that is unrelated to a coding-assistant purpose.
ℹ Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to explaining concepts, generating simple examples, and asking users to share code for debugging. This is appropriate, but be aware the skill asks users to paste code — users should avoid pasting secrets or private data into the chat.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skills do not write to disk or fetch external packages, which minimizes installer-related risk.
✓ Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths requested. This is proportionate to the stated functionality.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
Defaults are used (not always: true). The skill is user-invocable and may be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is expected for a helper skill and is not by itself problematic.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install coding-assistant
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /coding-assistant
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
