Description
Upgrade OpenClaw to the latest version in environments unable to access GitHub by using yarn to bypass git dependency issues.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose, but take ordinary precautions before running system-level package installs: 1) Installing a package globally will run the package's install scripts (and scripts of its dependencies) — verify the package source and checksum when possible. 2) Prefer testing the upgrade in a staging environment first and back up configuration. 3) Global installs may require sudo and can change system-wide binaries; consider installing to a non-root environment or using a container if you need isolation. 4) If you switch registries (e.g., registry.npmmirror.com), ensure the mirror is trusted. 5) If network restrictions remain, consider obtaining the package tarball from a trusted mirror or vendor and installing it offline.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-upgrade Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides legitimate instructions for upgrading the OpenClaw software using the yarn package manager to bypass GitHub connectivity issues. It includes standard administrative commands (yarn global add, yarn config set registry) and uses a well-known public mirror (registry.npmmirror.com) for package retrieval, with no evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (upgrade OpenClaw when GitHub is inaccessible) match the instructions: using yarn global add, checking status, switching registries, and restarting Gateway. No unrelated services, binaries, or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to installing/upgrading via yarn, verifying installation, and optional restart. They do direct system-level actions (global install, which may require sudo, and restarting gateway) — these are expected for an upgrade but are impactful and should be run with caution.
Install Mechanism
The skill contains no install spec and is instruction-only (lowest installer risk). The recommended yarn global add uses the public npm/yarn ecosystem — no arbitrary download URLs are suggested.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The SKILL.md only suggests changing yarn registry (e.g., to registry.npmmirror.com), which is consistent with the stated goal.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not forced-always, and does not attempt to persist itself or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not combined with other privilege escalations.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install openclaw-upgrade
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /openclaw-upgrade
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
