/install tldr
Description
Simplified man pages from tldr-pages. Use this to quickly understand CLI tools.
Usage Guidance
This skill simply tells the agent to use your system's tldr binary. Before installing, ensure you trust and have the tldr client installed from your package manager (or another trusted source). Be aware the agent is instructed to 'always prioritize' tldr over full man pages — tldr entries are concise and community-maintained and may omit details, so keep man/--help available for complete information.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tldr
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to use the `tldr` command-line tool for simplified man pages. The `SKILL.md` file contains instructions that prioritize `tldr` over standard `man` or `--help` for efficiency and token consumption, which is a benign behavioral directive for an AI agent. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or other harmful prompt injection attempts. All commands shown are standard usage of the `tldr` tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the requested binary requirement (tldr). There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only directs the agent to prefer the tldr command and fall back to man/--help when missing. This is within scope, though the blanket 'always prioritize' directive gives the agent a persistent preference that could omit fuller manual details when tldr pages are incomplete.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself, which is the lowest-risk option.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; access requirements are proportional to the declared purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request persistent or elevated platform privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tldr - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tldr - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
