Description
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want an agent to help create OpenClaw skills. Use a dedicated target directory, review generated scripts and SKILL.md before installing or sharing the new skill, and inspect the packaged .skill archive so private notes, credentials, build outputs, or unrelated files are not included.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-creator
Version: 0.1.0
The skill is classified as suspicious primarily due to the `scripts/init_skill.py` file. This script creates a new skill directory and, as part of its templating process, generates an `example.py` file within the `scripts/` subdirectory, setting its permissions to `0o755` (executable). While the content of the generated `example.py` is a benign placeholder, the capability to create executable files in a user-specified path, even for templating, represents a significant security risk if the script's inputs were controlled by a malicious actor or if the template itself were altered. The `SKILL.md` and other files are instructional and do not contain malicious prompt injection or other harmful behaviors.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is creating or updating skills, and the artifacts provide matching guidance plus local helper scripts for initialization, validation, and packaging.
Instruction Scope
The skill directs file creation, editing, testing, packaging, and cleanup of generated example files; that is purpose-aligned but users should run it only for intentional skill-authoring work.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown guidance and local Python helper scripts, with no install-time execution, downloader, remote installer, or obfuscated setup behavior.
Credentials
Local file write access and shell execution are proportionate for a skill creator, but the packager includes all files under the selected skill folder, so accidental inclusion of private files is possible if users choose a broad or messy directory.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifacts do not request credentials, elevated privileges, background services, autostart behavior, persistent memory, broad indexing, or network access.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-creator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-creator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
