Open Construction Estimate

Access and utilize open construction pricing databases. Match BIM elements to standardized work items, calculate costs using public unit price databases with 55,000+ work items.

This skill appears to do what it says (semantic matching + cost calculation) and needs network/filesystem access to load databases, call pricing APIs, download ML model weights, and export Excel files. Before installing: 1) Confirm where the work-item CSV/database will come from and that it is from a trusted source; 2) Expect large model downloads (sentence-transformers) and ensure you allow or block network access accordingly; 3) If you plan to use RSMeans or other subscription APIs, be prepared to supply credentials securely — the skill does not declare them up front; 4) Consider privacy of BIM files you provide (they may be read and transmitted if network access is granted); 5) Because the skill's source and homepage are unknown, prefer running it in a controlled environment or sandbox and review any dataset files you load. If any of the above are unacceptable, do not enable the skill or restrict its network/filesystem permissions.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: open-construction-estimate Version: 2.0.0 This skill bundle is classified as benign. The code in SKILL.md implements construction cost estimation, work item matching, and database management using standard libraries like pandas, scikit-learn, and sentence-transformers. The requested 'filesystem' permission in claw.json is justified by reading/writing local CSV databases and exporting Excel reports. The 'network' permission is justified by the sentence-transformer model download and the skill's description mentioning access to online pricing databases. The instructions.md and SKILL.md contain no evidence of prompt injection attempts or malicious intent, such as data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms.
