Description
Reference tool for life — covers intro, quickstart, patterns and more. Quick lookup for Roomba Control concepts, best practices, and implementation patterns.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and low-risk: it prints local reference docs and does not use network access or credentials. If you plan to allow autonomous invocation, note the agent could run the included shell script; review the script (it's short) before granting execution rights. Small notes: the script has a minor version string/formatting bug (help output uses a quoted heredoc so $VERSION won't expand), but this is functional-only and not a security issue. If you need stronger isolation, run/inspect the script in a sandbox before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: roomba-control
Version: 3.0.1
The skill is a documentation reference tool that provides static text information about Roomba control concepts. Analysis of scripts/script.sh and SKILL.md shows no network activity, file system modifications, or credential access; all commands simply output hardcoded text via heredocs.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the delivered assets. The package provides local reference documentation and a small CLI script that prints heredoc content — nothing in the files requires cloud access, credentials, or unrelated system privileges.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly states no external API calls or network access; the included script only emits static documentation via heredocs and performs simple local control flow. The docs mention tools like tcpdump/wireshark as examples but do not invoke them. No instructions attempt to read arbitrary system files or credentials.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec. A single helper script is included; nothing is downloaded or extracted at install time, so there is no remote install risk.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The code does not access environment secrets or other services beyond standard shell behaviour.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (the platform default). The skill does not request permanent presence, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install roomba-control - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/roomba-control - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
