Description
Find and normalize Chinese recipes (中餐菜谱) from structured sources first, then export clean recipe notes to Obsidian markdown. Prefer stable recipe sites over...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for discovering and normalizing Chinese recipes and exporting Obsidian notes. Before enabling/using it, confirm: (1) where exported files will be written in your agent/host environment (default /home/node/vault/Recipes/Chinese/ and a workspace fallback) and whether you consent to that file creation; (2) whether your platform's web_fetch/web_search integrations require API keys (Brave Search) or have rate/authorization limits; (3) whether allowing the skill to use a browser profile (the suggested "openclaw" profile) could expose browser sessions or cookies you don't want shared. If you need stricter control, ask the agent to only return markdown in-chat and avoid filesystem export or browser-profile usage.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: recipe-scout
Version: 1.0.0
The recipe-scout skill is a well-structured tool for searching and normalizing Chinese recipes from reputable sources (e.g., xiachufang.com, HowToCook GitHub) and exporting them to Obsidian markdown files. The instructions in SKILL.md focus on data quality, anti-hallucination, and proper source attribution. No malicious behaviors such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or harmful prompt injections were found; file system access is limited to saving recipe notes in designated paths like /home/node/vault/Recipes/Chinese/.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (recipe discovery + Obsidian export) align with instructions: web search of recipe sites, normalization, and optional filesystem export. Required resources (none declared) are consistent with an instruction-only retrieval/normalization skill.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions stay on-task (search Tier A/B/C, normalize, export). Two notable specifics to check before use: (1) it recommends writing Obsidian files to /home/node/vault/Recipes/Chinese/ (with a fallback workspace path) — the agent will create files on disk when export is requested; (2) it suggests switching to an "openclaw" browser profile if Chrome relay is unstable, which could access browser sessions/cookies if such profiles exist. Both are coherent with export and browser-rendering needs but worth confirming in your environment.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec, no downloads, and no code files — lowest-risk installation footprint.
Credentials
No environment variables, binaries, or credentials are required. The SKILL.md references using platform-provided web_search/web_fetch and browser rendering — these are proportional to the stated web-retrieval purpose. No unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The skill will write exported markdown files to a specific vault path by default — this is expected for an export feature but is persistent file I/O and should be acknowledged by the user. The skill does not request to modify other skills or global config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install recipe-scout - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/recipe-scout - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
