Description
Design beautiful GitHub profile READMEs with templates. Use when styling profiles, validating badges, generating stat widgets, formatting bio sections.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and only stores data locally in ~/.local/share/readme-maker. Before installing or running it: (1) review the script if you plan to log sensitive content—entries are saved verbatim and exported without JSON escaping; avoid logging secrets or tokens; (2) confirm you are comfortable with a new directory and log files in your $HOME; (3) if you will run it in CI, ensure pipeline secrets are not passed to the tool (it has no sanitization); (4) verify the publisher (BytesAgain) via bytesagain.com or the provided contact if you need provenance. If you want extra caution, run the script in a sandboxed account/container to observe behavior first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: readme-maker
Version: 2.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to a significant functional discrepancy between its documentation and implementation. While SKILL.md claims the tool can 'lint,' 'format,' 'validate,' and 'generate' README files, the script (scripts/script.sh) is actually a simple logger that merely appends input arguments to local files in ~/.local/share/readme-maker/. This deceptive 'mock' behavior could mislead an AI agent into believing it has successfully performed a quality or security check when it has only recorded a string. Additionally, the _export function in script.sh lacks proper output encoding, making the generated JSON files fragile if inputs contain special characters.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (README templating, linting, formatting) align with the included shell script and SKILL.md: commands, logging, export, preview, diff, and stats are implemented and expected for a devtool of this type.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script are focused on local README tooling and persistent local logs. The runtime instructions and script only read/write files under the user's home data dir and use standard Unix utilities; they do not access unrelated system paths or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with an included script). There is no network download or package install; the script runs locally. This is the lowest-risk install pattern.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths beyond creating ~/.local/share/readme-maker. Nothing requested appears disproportionate to a README devtool.
Persistence & Privilege
The script creates and writes persistent logs under ~/.local/share/readme-maker (history and per-command logs) which is consistent with its described behavior. It is not 'always: true' and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install readme-maker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/readme-maker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
