Description
Translate text accurately — preserve formatting, handle plurals, and adapt tone per locale.
Usage Guidance
This is a low-risk, instruction-only translation helper that appears coherent with its stated purpose. Before installing, consider whether you'll be translating sensitive or private text (the skill will instruct the agent to read and transform input content), and if so avoid sending secrets or PII to any external model/service the agent might call. Otherwise there are no credentials, installs, or system accesses that raise concern.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toby-translate
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and instructional guidelines for text translation. The instructions in SKILL.md are focused on maintaining formatting, cultural context, and technical accuracy, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (translate text, preserve formatting, handle plurals/tone) align with the SKILL.md rules (preserve code/markup, placeholders, handle plurals/gender/formality). Nothing requested (no env vars, binaries, or installs) is surprising for a pure translation instruction set.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within translation responsibilities: preserving formatting, excluding code/URLs/placeholders from translation, cultural/localization rules, and quality checks. It does not instruct reading arbitrary system files, environment variables, or sending data to unexpected endpoints. The single potential ambiguity is the directive to “Read full context before translating,” which reasonably refers to the provided document/context rather than unrelated system data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skills are lowest-risk because they don't write or execute new code on the host.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no extraneous secret requests and no access to unrelated services.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. Autonomous model invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with any elevated privileges or broad credential access here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toby-translate - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toby-translate - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
