/install skill4agent
Description
Use this skill when you need to search, read, and install skills from the online skill library. Support by Chinese.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent, but exercise normal caution: 1) `npx skill4agent` will fetch and execute code from npm on your machine — prefer the API option to inspect content (SKILL.md) before running remote code. 2) When installing a downloaded skill, inspect its files (especially scripts) before executing them; follow the SKILL.md advice to obtain user consent for skills flagged as containing sensitive code. 3) Confirm you trust the domain skill4agent.com and the npm package ownership before running installs; avoid running installation commands as root or with elevated privileges. 4) If you need stronger assurance, fetch the skill via the API, review the ZIP contents locally, and only then run necessary install steps.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill4agent
Version: 1.0.7
This skill acts as a package manager for the OpenClaw environment, allowing the agent to search for and install additional skills from the 'skill4agent.com' platform. It utilizes high-risk capabilities including shell execution (via npx), network communication with external APIs, and filesystem modification for installation. While the SKILL.md file includes security-conscious instructions—such as checking for sensitive code and requiring user consent before installation—the inherent risk of remote code execution and potential shell injection in the command templates (e.g., in SKILL.md) warrants a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the instructions: the skill is a wrapper around the skill4agent platform (CLI via npx or direct API). The external npm package and API endpoints listed in SKILL.md are consistent with a search/read/install manager for an online skill library.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are scoped to searching, reading SKILL.md content, and downloading/installing skills to a local .agents/skills/<skill_name> directory. The doc explicitly recommends checking script safety and obtaining user consent for skills flagged as containing sensitive code. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, other configs, or to exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only but directs use of `npx skill4agent` (which fetches and executes code from the npm registry) or downloading ZIPs from skill4agent.com. This is expected for an installer-type tool, but running npx executes remote code transiently on the host — a normal but higher-risk action compared with purely local operations. The SKILL.md does not provide its own install spec, relying instead on the third-party package and site.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The declared requirements (Node.js/npm/npx) are appropriate for the CLI option. There are no unrelated or excessive credential requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not instruct modifying other skills' configs or system-wide settings. Installing downloaded skills writes into a local .agents/skills directory (documented) which is proportional for a skill installation workflow.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill4agent - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill4agent - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
