Description
[QwenCloud] Check for qwencloud-ai updates and notify the user when a new version is available. TRIGGER when: user asks to check for updates, check version,...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a straightforward update checker and is internally consistent with its description. Before installing, note: (1) it will read and write <repo>/.agents/state.json (used to suppress prompts for 24 hours) — if you have privacy concerns about shared state, avoid installing; (2) it fetches a version.json from a GitHub raw URL (you can change which repo is queried via QWEN_SKILLS_REPO); only point that env var to trusted repositories; (3) SKILL.md mentions curl but the bundled scripts use Python's urllib (no extra binary needed) — minor doc mismatch only. If you want extra assurance, you can review the two bundled scripts (both are stdlib-only, short, and readable) before enabling the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: qwencloud-update-check Version: 0.1.1 The skill bundle implements a standard update-checking mechanism for the qwencloud-ai skill pack. It compares a local version.json against a remote version hosted on GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com/QwenCloud/qwencloud-ai) and uses a local state file (.agents/state.json) to rate-limit checks to once every 24 hours. The logic in check_update.py and gossamer.py is transparent and aligns with the stated purpose of notifying the user or agent of available updates without any evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (check for qwencloud-ai updates) align with the included scripts and SKILL.md. The scripts implement the advertised behavior (local version read, remote fetch from GitHub raw URL, semver compare, and notify). Use of skills-lock.json and building an npx install command is consistent with a repo-level update helper.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md precisely describes the actions the code performs. The instructions access only repository-local files (.agents/state.json, skills-lock.json, version.json) and a remote GitHub raw URL. There is no evidence in the instructions of unrelated file reads, credential collection, or transmission to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with bundled Python scripts; there is no install spec that downloads arbitrary code at install time. The included scripts are stdlib-only and do not fetch external packages during runtime.
Credentials
No credentials or sensitive env vars are required. The SKILL.md documents an optional QWEN_SKILLS_REPO env var to point at a different repo (this simply changes which remote version.json is fetched). The skill does write and read a shared .agents/state.json (explicitly documented) — this is proportional for global rate-limiting but is a persistent file shared with other qwencloud helpers and may be surprising to some users.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no elevated privileges. The skill writes its own state to the repo's .agents directory (its declared scope) and does not modify other skills' configurations. It can be invoked autonomously (normal) but it does not request permanent platform-wide presence.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install qwencloud-update-check
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /qwencloud-update-check
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
