安全使用建议
This skill is an instruction-only Homebrew reference and appears internally consistent. Before installing/using it, confirm that: (1) you trust the agent to run local brew commands (install/uninstall/upgrade can change your system), (2) the environment where the agent runs actually has the 'brew' binary and appropriate permissions, and (3) you will review or approve any package operations the agent proposes (avoid letting an agent autonomously install untrusted packages). If you want stricter control, keep the skill user-invocable only or disable autonomous invocation for agents that shouldn't modify your system.
功能分析
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: homebrew Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle provides a comprehensive guide for using the Homebrew package manager. All instructions in SKILL.md describe standard Homebrew commands and their legitimate usage, such as searching, installing, upgrading, and troubleshooting packages. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. While Homebrew is a powerful tool that could be misused, the skill itself does not contain any instructions or intent for harmful behavior; it merely documents the tool's functionality.
能力评估
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the skill is purely a Homebrew command reference and requires the 'brew' binary. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to run standard brew commands (search, info, install, update, upgrade, doctor, etc.). It does not direct the agent to read unrelated files, access external endpoints, or exfiltrate environment variables.
✓ Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
✓ Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. The single declared runtime dependency (the 'brew' binary) is appropriate for a Homebrew helper.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed by default. This is expected for a user-invocable helper. The skill does not request persistent system-wide changes to other skills or configurations.
如何使用
