Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (patch a local OpenClaw JS file), but follow these precautions before proceeding:
- Do not run sudo chown -R commands or copy files into the agent workspace without understanding exactly which path will be changed. Prefer to perform privileged actions yourself in a terminal rather than giving files to an agent.
- Make a backup (the skill recommends cp file file.bak). Keep multiple backups before editing.
- Inspect the index-<hash>.js file yourself (open in an editor) and review the exact replacement text the skill will apply. If you don't understand the JS, ask a developer you trust to review it.
- Instead of copying the file into the agent workspace, consider applying the patch locally (manual find/replace or a script you run) and then share only a diff or summary with the agent for verification.
- Run the patched app in a sandbox or test environment first to confirm behavior. If microphone permission policy changes are required, make those changes deliberately and minimally.
If you want a safer path, provide the exact index-<hash>.js file (only after removing unrelated sensitive content) to a trusted developer, or ask the skill author to provide a small, auditable patch script you run locally rather than giving the agent write access.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-voice-patch
Version: 1.0.1
The skill instructs the AI agent to perform high-risk operations, including searching the entire filesystem ('find /' or 'Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse') and modifying production JavaScript assets ('index-*.js') of the OpenClaw installation. It also includes instructions for the agent to prompt the user for elevated permissions ('sudo chown') or to move system files into the agent's workspace if access is denied. While these actions are aligned with the stated goal of patching the voice input UI, the broad file access and modification of application code in 'SKILL.md' constitute significant security risks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the requested actions: the skill only needs to find and modify a local OpenClaw UI JS asset. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or external services requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells the agent to search the entire filesystem for index-<hash>.js and to edit that file in place. It also instructs the user to either copy the file into the agent workspace or to run sudo chown -R on the OpenClaw dist path. Asking the user to copy potentially sensitive local files into the agent workspace or to change file ownership are privacy/privilege risks and broaden the agent's access beyond purely patching code. The patching steps themselves are specific (text patterns to match/replace), which is good, but the guidance to grant write access or move files into the workspace is risky and should be handled carefully.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk by an installer. This is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external endpoints are requested. The only 'permissions' asked for are local filesystem access to the OpenClaw install (copying files, backing up, or changing ownership), which are proportional to a file-patching task but still sensitive.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not flagged as always:true and does not request persistent platform privileges. However, the instructions explicitly suggest using sudo chown -R to grant write access — that is a user action that elevates privileges for files and should be avoided unless the user understands the implications and limits the scope precisely to the OpenClaw dist directory.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-voice-patch - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-voice-patch - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
- Voice input patch now uses a single mic button with smart dual-mode: short click for auto-send, or hold 3 seconds for continuous mode.
- Tooltip adapts to state: shows "Voice (hold 3s for continuous)" when idle, and "Stop voice auto"/"Stop voice continuous" when recording.
- Auto-send mode automatically stops after pause or 3 seconds of silence (acts as misclick safeguard).
- Continuous mode restarts recognition after each message until manually stopped.
- Live interim transcript appears above the input in both modes.
- Documentation updated to reflect new hold-to-activate workflow; previous dual-button UI removed.
v1.0.0
- Initial release of openclaw-voice-patch.
- Adds two voice input modes to OpenClaw Control UI: "Voice auto-send" (one-shot) and "Voice continuous" (keeps recording for multiple messages).
- Includes detailed patch instructions, verification steps, and backup/rollback guidance for compatibility with OpenClaw updates.
- Describes necessary troubleshooting steps and browser support requirements.
- Provides clear guidance if the patch cannot access or modify the necessary files.
