Visual References

Search and download visual reference images from Pexels to inspire image or video generation. Use when you need style references, mood boards, composition or...

This skill appears to do what it says: it uses your PEXELS_API_KEY to call the Pexels API and download reference images. Before installing, consider: (1) Provide only a Pexels API key — the skill does not request other credentials. (2) The SKILL.md insists on using /tmp/visual-refs and the script cleans files named ref_* there; avoid using that same directory for unrelated files to prevent accidental deletion. (3) The docs instruct the agent not to 'read' or manually review references and to pass them directly into the generator — if you want a human or policy review of downloaded images (e.g., for licensing or objectionable content), use the alternative flow where the user picks references. (4) Verify the Pexels API key permissions and rate limits for your account (demo plan limits noted in docs). (5) Note the small implementation mismatch: metadata mentions the 'requests' package though the script uses urllib; that's likely harmless but indicates the package metadata could be stale. If those considerations are acceptable, the skill is coherent and proportionate to its purpose.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: visual-references Version: 2.0.4 The visual-references skill is a legitimate tool for searching and downloading images from the Pexels API. The Python script (visual_ref.py) uses standard libraries for network requests and file management, with clear logic for downloading images to a temporary directory (/tmp/visual-refs) and generating metadata. The instructions in SKILL.md are focused on optimizing the agent's workflow and token usage, and no indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection were identified.
