Description
Search Yelp businesses and reviews, compare local options, and audit listing quality with official APIs, public pages, and safe action boundaries.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and focused on Yelp tasks, but note it will create and update files under ~/yelp/ (memory, session notes, request logs, audits). Only provide a YELP_API_KEY if you want structured API access; if you do, ensure you do not let the skill write raw tokens into notes (the docs forbid this, but audit the created files yourself). Make sure curl and jq are installed. Because the skill may call external Yelp endpoints, expect network activity; review the ~/yelp/ files after first use to confirm no sensitive data was stored, and revoke or rotate any API key you provide if you later uninstall or stop trusting the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: yelp Version: 1.0.0 The Yelp skill bundle is a well-structured set of instructions and templates designed to facilitate business discovery, review analysis, and listing audits via the official Yelp API and public web pages. It includes robust security guidelines, such as explicit instructions in SKILL.md and api-workflows.md to avoid logging API keys or sensitive headers, and it defines clear boundaries for data access and user authorization. The use of shell commands (curl, jq) is limited to legitimate interactions with api.yelp.com, and the local storage in ~/yelp/ is used appropriately for session context and caching without evidence of data exfiltration or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the actual behavior: discovery, review analysis, and listing audits using public pages and the Yelp API. Required binaries (curl, jq) and the declared config path (~/yelp/) are appropriate for an instruction-only, CLI-driven skill that stores local memory and logs.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and supporting files limit operations to reading public pages and calling Yelp APIs when a YELP_API_KEY is provided. The instructions explicitly forbid scraping-evasion, secret logging, owner-side actions without authorization, and recommend mode selection and disambiguation. They do instruct the agent to create and write to ~/yelp/ (memory, request-log, audits) which is coherent for this skill.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only — so nothing is downloaded or written by an installer. This is the lowest-risk install model for this type of skill.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables by default and only recommends providing a YELP_API_KEY when structured API access is desired. It does not request unrelated credentials or multiple secrets, and configPaths are limited to a single ~/yelp/ workspace for local notes and logs.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (not force-included). The skill stores small local state in ~/yelp/ as documented; it does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but is not accompanied by excessive privileges or broad credential access.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install yelp
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /yelp
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
