Description
Evaluate OpenClaw skills before installation. Use when user wants to check a skill's safety, dependencies, popularity, or get an installation recommendation....
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says (fetch ClawHub metadata and produce a report) but it has important inconsistencies you should resolve before installing or using it:
- Verify you have the 'clawhub' CLI available and trust its origin. The SKILL.md requires running 'clawhub inspect', but the skill metadata does not declare that binary dependency.
- Check whether ClawHub access requires credentials (API key or login). If so, ask the author to declare required env vars (primaryEnv) so you know what secrets will be read.
- Because the skill's source/homepage are unknown, prefer contacting the skill author or using a skill from a known publisher. Confirm the registry entry matches the upstream repository.
- If you want to test safely: run the recommended 'clawhub inspect' command yourself in a controlled environment (or sandbox) for a sample skill and review the output before letting an agent run it autonomously.
If you control no ClawHub credentials and do not have the CLI, the skill will either fail or implicitly rely on existing local ClawHub configuration—both are reasons to treat it cautiously. Ask the publisher to explicitly list required binaries and any auth needs; that would convert this from 'suspicious' to 'benign' if resolved.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-advisor
Version: 1.2.0
The skill-advisor is a utility designed to help users evaluate the safety, popularity, and dependencies of other OpenClaw skills. It uses the official 'clawhub' CLI to inspect skill metadata and generates a structured report for the user. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection; all operations are transparent and aligned with the stated purpose in SKILL.md.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to run 'clawhub inspect {skill-name}' and to fetch ClawHub scan/results, yet the skill's registry metadata lists no required binaries and no homepage/source. A pre-install advisor that relies on a specific CLI should declare that dependency and whether ClawHub API credentials are needed. The missing declaration is disproportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly focused on fetching skill metadata and SKILL.md via ClawHub and producing a report; they do not ask to read local files or exfiltrate unrelated data. However, the SKILL.md assumes access to the ClawHub CLI/API without specifying how authentication or network access is handled, leaving ambiguity about what system calls or credentials will actually run when invoked.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, so there is no download/extract risk or additional packages being installed by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, yet it relies on ClawHub data. If ClawHub access requires authentication (API key, token, or CLI login) this skill should declare which env vars or credentials it will use. The absence of any primary credential or env var is a mismatch and could hide implicit credential use via the agent's environment or existing 'clawhub' configuration.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked 'always' and does not request persistent system-wide changes. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but there is no evidence this skill tries to modify other skills or system config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-advisor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-advisor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
