/install sre-engineer
Description
Use when defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, or building reliable systems at scale. Invoke for incident management, chaos engineering, toil reduction, capacity planning.
Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a structured SRE knowledge and template pack. Before relying on it: (1) review any generated automation, Terraform, or shell scripts carefully — do not run them without inspection and appropriate least-privilege credentials; (2) verify monitoring/alert configs fit your environment and secrets are not embedded in generated outputs; (3) treat runbooks and incident actions as drafts that require human validation; and (4) consider auditing any IaC with your standard security/CI checks before applying to production.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sre-engineer
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to the presence of risky capabilities, specifically the use of `subprocess.run` with `shell=True` for `kubectl` commands in `references/automation-toil.md`, which poses a command injection risk if the command string is derived from untrusted input. Additionally, `references/incident-chaos.md` demonstrates the execution of highly privileged and disruptive system commands (`tc`, `iptables`, `kubectl delete`) via `subprocess.run` for chaos engineering purposes. While these actions are plausibly needed for the stated SRE automation and chaos engineering objectives, they represent significant security risks if misused or executed in an uncontrolled environment, lacking clear malicious intent but demonstrating broad, powerful permissions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (SRE: SLOs, error budgets, incidents, chaos, automation) align with the SKILL.md content and provided references. The skill requests no binaries, env vars, config paths, or installs — nothing out of scope for an SRE advisory/authoring skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains guidance, templates, and references for SLOs, monitoring, runbooks, and automation. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or to send data to external endpoints. It does indicate the outputs should include code (Python/Go/Terraform) and monitoring configs — which is reasonable for an SRE skill but means produced code should be reviewed before execution.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files to install. This is low risk: the skill is instruction-only and will not write code to disk or fetch remote installers at install time.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to an advisory/authoring skill that generates templates and runbooks but does not operate on live infrastructure.
Persistence & Privilege
No special persistence flags (always: true) or explicit disable-model-invocation settings are present. The skill is not force-included or granted elevated persistent privileges beyond normal model-invocable behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sre-engineer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sre-engineer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
