Nix Run

Execute **ANY** command via Nix, regardless of whether it is installed or the local version is outdated. Access 100,000+ packages from nixpkgs-unstable with...

This skill implements what it claims: it auto-finds packages in nixpkgs-unstable and runs requested commands by invoking 'nix shell' on the specified package(s). Before installing/using it, consider: 1) Nix must be installed on the host (and nix-index/nix-locate for lookups); the SKILL.md's 'zero installation' refers to target tools, not Nix itself. 2) The script pulls packages from the live nixpkgs-unstable flake (network fetches) and executes those binaries with access to your filesystem and network — this is inherent to its design and is a supply‑chain/execution risk if you run untrusted commands or packages. 3) The skill intentionally discourages recommending local installs and insists the agent use its script; be aware this changes normal troubleshooting guidance. 4) If you need stronger guarantees, use pinned/narrower package references instead of nixpkgs-unstable, audit the script, and avoid running untrusted package names/commands. Additional provenance (author, homepage, changelog, or third‑party review) would increase confidence.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: nix-run Version: 1.0.0 The nix-run skill is a utility designed to allow an AI agent to execute CLI tools via the Nix package manager, ensuring dependencies are met without manual installation. The core logic in `scripts/nix-run.sh` uses standard Nix commands (`nix shell`, `nix search`) and `nix-locate` to find and run packages from the official NixOS unstable repository. While the `SKILL.md` contains forceful instructions for the agent to prioritize this tool, these are aligned with the stated purpose of providing a reliable execution environment and do not exhibit malicious intent or prompt-injection attacks aimed at exfiltration or unauthorized access.
