Description
Validate and pretty-print JSON files from the terminal. Use when linting config files, formatting API payloads, checking syntax before deployment.
README (SKILL.md)
JSONLint
A real JSON linter and toolkit for the terminal. Validate syntax, pretty-print, minify, compare files, list keys, and extract values by path — all powered by python3.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
jsonlint validate \x3Cfile> |
Check JSON syntax — reports type, element count, file size, and shows error context on failure |
jsonlint format \x3Cfile> |
Pretty-print JSON with 4-space indentation |
jsonlint minify \x3Cfile> |
Compact JSON (remove all whitespace), shows bytes saved |
jsonlint diff \x3Cfile1> \x3Cfile2> |
Deep structural comparison of two JSON files — shows added, removed, and changed values with dot-paths |
jsonlint keys \x3Cfile> |
List all top-level keys with types and value previews |
jsonlint extract \x3Cfile> \x3Cpath> |
Extract a value by dot-path (e.g. config.database.host), supports array indices like items[0] |
Requirements
python3(usesjsonstdlib module)
Examples
# Validate a config file
jsonlint validate config.json
# Pretty-print API response
jsonlint format response.json
# Minify for deployment
jsonlint minify package.json
# Compare two versions
jsonlint diff old.json new.json
# List what's in a JSON file
jsonlint keys data.json
# Dig into nested values
jsonlint extract config.json database.host
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: local JSON validation/formatting/inspection using python3. Before installing or running, review the full script (the manifest showed a truncated tail) and ensure you only run it on files you trust — do not feed it JSON containing highly sensitive secrets if you don't want that content processed on the host. Confirm python3 is from a trusted system installation and run the script in your normal user context (no elevated privileges required).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: jsonlint
Version: 3.0.0
The JSONLint skill is a legitimate utility for validating, formatting, and manipulating JSON files using Python's standard library. The implementation in `scripts/script.sh` is well-structured, lacks any network or sensitive file access, and uses safe practices for passing arguments to internal Python commands.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (JSON linting, formatting, extracting, diffing) match the provided files. The script implements those features using python3 and standard shell tools; no unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit actions to reading and processing JSON files specified by the user. The instructions and code do not reference external endpoints, unrelated system files, or environment variables beyond requiring python3.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is declared (instruction-only). A bundled shell script is present but there are no downloads or archive extraction. The script runs locally and does not fetch remote code.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The only runtime dependency is python3, which is appropriate and declared in SKILL.md.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always-on presence or modify other skills/system settings. It is user-invocable and can be run locally; autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but not abused by the skill itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install jsonlint - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/jsonlint - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
