Description
Transform technical insights into full 40-50 minute TED-style talks with concrete examples and Q&A
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk because it has no install steps and asks for no credentials. Before using it: (1) avoid including any secrets, passwords, or private data in the conversation context you ask the skill to synthesize (the skill will read the full conversation), and (2) check any concrete examples the skill generates for accuracy and privacy (it should not invent specifics, but validate outputs before sharing). If you need the talk to reference code or files, save/remove sensitive data first because the skill states it won't read project files automatically.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ted-talk
Version: 1.0.2
The skill is designed to transform conversational context into a TED-style talk. The `SKILL.md` explicitly states that the skill 'does NOT read files from the workspace or access project artifacts directly' and 'does NOT send data to external services'. There are no instructions for malicious execution, data exfiltration, persistence, or harmful prompt injection against the agent. All instructions are focused on guiding the agent's content generation process and establishing quality guardrails.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (generate full TED-style talks from technical conversations) aligns with the instructions: the SKILL.md defines steps to synthesize conversation context into a narrative, lists no unrelated dependencies, and declares it does not read workspace files or require credentials.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions direct the agent to 'read full conversation context' and extract concrete details/decisions from that context. This is coherent for a talk-generation skill, but it means any sensitive information present in the conversation can be used in outputs. The skill explicitly states it will not read files or project artifacts, which matches the registry metadata.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files—this is instruction-only, so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk. That minimizes filesystem and supply-chain risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no request for unrelated secrets or cloud credentials, which is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-included and is user-invocable; it does not request elevated or persistent agent privileges. Autonomous invocation is enabled by default (normal), but combined with the lack of extra privileges this is expected and not concerning.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ted-talk - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ted-talk - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
- Clarified that concrete context and real examples must come from user input, not from files or assumptions.
- Revised prerequisites and section examples to emphasize grounding talks in specific, user-provided details.
- Updated Output Format and Talk Rules to specify use of real scenarios over hypothetical or file-based details.
- Adjusted language in context checklists and core logic to reflect a tighter focus on actual user context.
v1.0.1
- Clarified data handling: the skill no longer reads from workspace files or accesses project artifacts, operating solely on user-supplied input or conversation context.
- Updated output description: results are now returned to the invoking agent, not written to output directories.
- Removed OpenClaw workspace directory requirement from metadata.
- No changes to core functionality, usage, or talk structure.
v1.0.0
ted-talk 1.0.0 – Initial release
- Generate full-length (40–50 minute) TED-style technical talks from conversations or specified topics.
