Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (backup config, run checks, rollback) but take these precautions before using it: 1) Inspect the package's publish.json: decode the base64 content and confirm it matches the visible SKILL.md (to ensure nothing is hidden). 2) Fix or clarify the backup/rollback filename inconsistency (preflight backup creates openclaw.json.manual.<timestamp>.bak but rollback copies openclaw.json.bak) — otherwise rollbacks may fail. 3) Do not run any suggested wrapper scripts you haven't inspected; the package doesn't include ./scripts/openclaw-safe.sh, so either implement your own or review the script before execution. 4) Test the workflow in a safe environment (snapshot or VM) before using on production. 5) Because the skill can be invoked autonomously by an agent, only enable it for agents you trust and monitor its first runs for unexpected behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-safe-ops
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to perform safety-oriented operations for the OpenClaw tool, including configuration backups, health checks, and rollbacks. The operations are restricted to the application's own directory (~/.openclaw/) and use standard system commands (cp) and tool-specific commands (openclaw). No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or the associated metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, declared requirements (none), and the instructions all focus on backing up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, running openclaw health checks, and performing rollbacks — which is coherent with a 'safe ops' helper.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to local config and openclaw commands (no external endpoints). However there are two issues: (1) the preflight backup command writes files named openclaw.json.manual.<timestamp>.bak, while the rollback step copies openclaw.json.bak (different filename) — this mismatch can break rollback behavior; (2) the SKILL.md recommends a wrapper script ./scripts/openclaw-safe.sh but no script is included in the package, so users would need to supply/inspect this script themselves. Also a base64-encoded content block appears in publish.json (see scan finding).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files to write to disk; lowest-risk install mechanism.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or extra credentials. It does instruct reading/writing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json which is appropriate for the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request permanent presence or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not by itself a concern.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-safe-ops - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-safe-ops - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
