Description
Search skills.sh registry from CLI. Find and discover agent skills from the skills.sh ecosystem.
Usage Guidance
Safe to use for searching. Treat any displayed install command as a suggestion only: review the target skill, its source, and its requested scope before adding it to your agent environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skills-search
Version: 1.0.4
The skill bundle is benign. Its primary function, as implemented in `cli.js`, is to query the official `https://skills.sh/api/skills` endpoint to search for and display skills. The `SKILL.md` instructions guide the agent on how to use this search functionality and subsequently install other skills using `npx skills add`, which is a legitimate follow-up action for a skill search tool. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts to mislead the agent into harmful actions. The `ls` command is for verifying installation, not exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The code matches the stated search purpose: it fetches https://skills.sh/api/skills, filters or sorts results, and prints names, sources, install counts, and optional install commands. The install guidance is related to discovery but has higher impact because it can add third-party skills.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are mostly examples for searching and showing popular skills. The automation section describes an interactive skills CLI install flow and says to ask the user if unsure, so installation is disclosed and user-directed rather than hidden or automatic.
Install Mechanism
The skill declares only a Node.js binary requirement and installation through ClawdHub. It also documents unpinned npx-based follow-up commands for third-party skill installs, which users should review before running.
Credentials
The implementation requests no credentials, environment variables, local file access, or broad permissions. Its network behavior is limited to the disclosed skills.sh API endpoint.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill itself does not create persistence or elevate privileges. However, following the documented install workflow can persist additional skills in the agent environment, so the install scope should be confirmed.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skills-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skills-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
