Install in OpenClaw
/install shp
Description
Inspect, explain, validate, and convert ESRI Shapefile datasets, including `.shp/.shx/.dbf/.prj` sidecar requirements, CRS detection, field-name/type limits,...
Usage Guidance
This skill is primarily a knowledge/recipe document for dealing with Shapefiles and does not install software or ask for secrets. Before using it: (1) ensure you supply the full Shapefile sidecar set (.shp/.shx/.dbf/.prj/.cpg) when asking about a dataset, (2) expect the skill to recommend using your local qgis or other desktop tool for actual file operations (those tools must be present and run by you), and (3) only grant the agent access to local files you trust—the skill itself does not request network exfiltration or credentials, but be cautious when letting any agent read files or upload them elsewhere.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: shp
Version: 1.0.0
The 'shp' skill bundle is a well-documented set of instructions for an AI agent to assist with ESRI Shapefile inspection, validation, and migration. It contains no executable code, instead providing logical workflows and troubleshooting patterns in SKILL.md and references/patterns.md. The skill correctly identifies the multi-file nature of Shapefiles and safely delegates actual file manipulation to external tools like QGIS, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Shapefile inspection, validation, conversion guidance) align with the SKILL.md and the included reference patterns. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config access.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to guidance, checks, and routing heavy operations to qgis; they reference the included references/patterns.md only. There are no instructions to read arbitrary system files, gather credentials, or transmit data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing will be written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The guidance and patterns do not depend on hidden secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no instructions to modify agent or system config. The agent metadata sets allow_implicit_invocation (normal for skills) but that is not combined with any broad access requests.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install shp - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/shp - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of the "shp" skill for working with ESRI Shapefile datasets.
- Provides inspection, validation, explanation, and conversion workflows for Shapefiles (.shp/.shx/.dbf/.prj).
