DEPRECATED — remove this legacy listing; superseded by detect-file-type-local
README (SKILL.md)

DEPRECATED — Remove This Skill

This legacy listing was an early failed addition and is no longer maintained.

Reason: initial publication suffered from API/registry lag during rollout.

Please uninstall/remove this skill and use:

  • detect-file-type-local

This placeholder exists only to mark deprecation and direct users to the replacement.

Usage Guidance
This listing is a harmless deprecated placeholder. You should uninstall or remove it and install or enable detect-file-type-local instead. Before installing the replacement, review that replacement's SKILL.md and required environment/config entries to make sure they align with its stated purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: detect-file-type-skill Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle contains only metadata and documentation files (`_meta.json`, `SKILL.md`, `README.md`). All documentation explicitly states that the skill is deprecated and should be removed, directing users to a replacement skill. There is no executable code, no instructions for the AI agent to perform any actions, and no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description match the content: it explicitly declares itself deprecated and points to detect-file-type-local. It requests no binaries, env vars, or config paths, which is proportionate for a deprecation notice.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only a deprecation message and a pointer to the replacement; it does not instruct the agent to read files, access credentials, call external endpoints, or perform any actions beyond advising removal.
✓ Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files. No downloads, extracts, or package installs are present.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing in the instructions attempts to access secrets or unrelated systems.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autonomous invocation is the platform default; the skill does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install detect-file-type-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /detect-file-type-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
