Description
A meta-skill for creating, iterating, and publishing OpenClaw skills from scratch. Use this skill when the user wants to: build a new skill from an idea or U...
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent with its stated goal and is instruction-only (no code to execute directly), but take these practical steps before using it:
- Review generated SKILL.md/BRIEF.md/README files before running any publish or git push commands. The skill will create and write files into your skills workspace; inspect them first.
- Publishing to GitHub or ClawHub requires credentials (git push, claw skill publish) — the skill does not request them directly; only perform publishing if you trust the generated content and the target repo.
- The skill's collection phase (web_fetch/web_search) downloads external content. Avoid pointing it at internal or private URLs that contain secrets.
- Note minor docs inconsistencies: README/CHANGELOG reference different GitHub repo paths/owners and there is a small version string mismatch in frontmatter — consider which upstream repository you will trust before cloning.
- If you want extra safety, run the workflow in an isolated account or VM and confirm outputs before integrating into your main skill workspace.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skillfactory
Version: 2.2.2
The 'skill-factory' bundle is a meta-skill designed to automate the creation, iteration, and publishing of other OpenClaw skills. It utilizes high-risk capabilities including network access (via web_fetch and web_search) and shell execution (PowerShell Copy-Item) to gather source material and synchronize files to the user's local environment (~/.workbuddy/skills/). While these behaviors are clearly aligned with the stated purpose and the instructions include quality-control steps like mandatory source verification, the explicit use of shell commands and broad file/network access warrants a suspicious classification under the provided criteria for risky capabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to be a meta-skill for creating, iterating, and publishing OpenClaw skills and is implemented as instruction-only content that describes collecting web sources, writing local SKILL.md and repo files, and publishing. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested. Minor documentation inconsistencies exist (README/CHANGELOG reference different GitHub repo owners/paths and SKILL.md frontmatter version differs slightly from registry metadata), but these look like documentation hygiene issues rather than functional mismatches.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions describe agent actions such as web_fetch/web_search, saving raw content to inbox/wip/<skill>/raw/, generating SKILL.md and references/, and syncing published files to a local skills directory. These actions are consistent with a skill-builder. The SKILL.md examples include filesystem copy commands that reference the user profile ($env:USERPROFILE) and Windows PowerShell Copy-Item; the skill does not instruct collecting shell history or secrets. Note: web_fetch will download external content (expected), so users should avoid directing the skill at private endpoints or embedding secrets in source URLs.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — lowest-risk install surface. README suggests optional ways to install from ClawHub or by git-cloning a GitHub repo; those are normal and not executed automatically by this skill.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no required config paths. It references operations (git tag, git push, ClawHub distribution) that would require GitHub or ClawHub credentials if the user chooses to publish, but the skill does not request or hardcode credentials itself — this is proportionate. The SKILL.md example references $env:USERPROFILE in a copy command (sample only).
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and model invocation is allowed (normal). The skill's workflow includes writing files into local workspaces (~/.workbuddy or ~/.claw/skills), which is expected for a publishable skill factory. It does not request permanent platform-wide privileges or modify other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skillfactory - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skillfactory - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
