Description
Wake-on-LAN (WOL) skill to remotely wake computers and manage device configurations. Use when user says: (1) 帮我唤醒XXX电脑 or 唤醒XXX (wake a specific computer by...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement Wake-on-LAN correctly, but you should not install it with always:true enabled. always:true forces the skill into every agent run and increases risk because the skill can run network operations and read/write a local devices file. If you want this functionality, consider: (1) ask the publisher to remove metadata 'always':true so the skill is only user-invocable, (2) review the included scripts/wol.py yourself (it is bundled) for any changes before installing, (3) ensure references/devices.yaml is stored with appropriate filesystem permissions, and (4) run the skill in an environment where UDP broadcasts and arp calls are acceptable. If you cannot review the code, do not enable always:true and restrict the skill to manual invocation only.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: wol
Version: 1.0.2
The skill provides standard Wake-on-LAN (WOL) functionality and device management. The Python script `scripts/wol.py` implements magic packet broadcasting and ARP lookups using safe practices, such as `yaml.safe_load` and parameterized `subprocess.run` calls. The `SKILL.md` file includes defensive instructions specifically designed to prevent the AI agent from leaking full MAC addresses or sensitive configuration data to the user, demonstrating a focus on privacy rather than malice.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md, and the included scripts/wol.py are coherent: the script reads/writes a local devices YAML, looks up MACs (devices file or ARP), computes broadcast addresses, and sends magic packets — exactly what a Wake-on-LAN tool needs.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only instruct the agent to run the bundled Python script and to avoid revealing full MACs; the script itself performs file I/O (references/devices.yaml), subprocess calls (arp), and network sends. The prohibition on exposing full MACs is reasonable, but the SKILL.md cannot technically prevent an agent from reading the YAML by other means—operations that access the file are necessary for the skill's purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with bundled code). This minimizes third-party downloads; the included Python script is executed from the skill workspace which is expected for a code-backed skill.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials. Network and local-file access (ARP subprocess, UDP broadcast, read/write devices.yaml) are proportionate to Wake-on-LAN functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is marked always:true in metadata which forces it to be present in all agents. For a skill that can perform network operations and read/write a local devices file, always:true is unnecessary and increases potential blast radius if the skill is invoked autonomously.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install wol - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/wol - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
- Internal metadata files (.clawhub/origin.json, _meta.json) were removed.
- No user-facing functional changes were made.
- The skill’s documentation, usage, and commands remain unchanged.
v1.0.1
- Added metadata for OpenClaw integration to always enable the skill.
- Skill description bug fixed.

- Two new files introduced: .clawhub/origin.json and _meta.json.
v1.0.0
Wake-on-LAN skill initial release
- Remotely wake computers via device name or IP address.
- Manage devices: list, add, delete, or show device details.
- Supports all main WOL operations through Chinese conversational commands.
- Device names, MACs, and IPs stored in a configuration file.
- Masks MAC addresses in outputs; never reveals full MAC in conversation.
- Provides instructions for both CLI command usage and device management restrictions.
