Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for R research automation, but it will execute R scripts and may install packages from CRAN/Bioconductor/GitHub — actions that can access files, run shell commands via R, or download code. Only let the skill run on projects and code you trust, or run it inside an isolated environment (container/VM) with limited network and filesystem access. Review any generated install commands before executing (especially GitHub installs), back up sensitive data, and prefer using renv lockfiles to ensure reproducible package versions. Absence of automated scan findings here is expected (instruction-only skill) and does not remove the runtime risk of executing untrusted R code.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: rstudio-research-agent
Version: 0.1.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'rstudio-research-agent' is classified as benign. All files, including `SKILL.md` and `README.md`, describe functionalities and provide R code examples that are entirely consistent with its stated purpose of assisting with R-based scientific research workflows. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, malicious code (e.g., data exfiltration, unauthorized remote execution, persistence mechanisms), or obfuscation. The skill's capabilities, such as executing R scripts, managing files, and installing packages, are inherent to its legitimate function and do not indicate malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and declared capabilities (project scaffolding, renv, running R/RMarkdown/quarto, plotting, debugging) match the instructions across the main SKILL.md and sub-skill files. Requested actions (activating renv, sourcing scripts, initializing Git, generating plots, and producing package install commands) are expected for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent to set working directories, activate renv, source and execute arbitrary R scripts and render reports. That is appropriate for running analyses, but it means the skill will execute whatever R code exists in the project (which can perform arbitrary filesystem and network actions). The skill also generates and may suggest running install commands (CRAN, Bioconductor, GitHub) which require network access. Users should be aware the agent will run code with the permissions of the host process.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec or downloaded code — this is instruction-only. No external archives or package installs are performed by the skill itself; package installation happens at R runtime (install.packages, BiocManager::install, remotes::install_github) which is expected for the described features.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths beyond working within a project directory and using renv. It does not request unrelated secrets or system credentials, which is proportionate to its stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special privileges are requested. The skill can create files (project scaffolding, .Rproj, renv.lock, .gitignore) and optionally initialize Git — these actions are consistent with its purpose and limited to the project scope rather than system-wide privileged changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install rstudio-research-agent - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/rstudio-research-agent - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
