Description
Habit formation and procedural learning for AI agents. Develop preferences and shortcuts through repetition. Part of the AI Brain series.
Usage Guidance
Do not install or grant credentials yet. Ask the publisher to resolve the mismatch: either update the registry metadata to declare SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and the SkillBoss endpoint, or remove that requirement from SKILL.md. Request a clear description of what data the skill will send to https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot, and ask for source code or a trustworthy homepage. Because this skill is 'Under Development' and currently instruction-only, wait for a stable release with aligned metadata and explicit, minimal credential needs before enabling it or providing any API keys. If you must test, avoid giving real API keys and monitor network calls and agent activity closely.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toby-basal-ganglia-memory
Version: 1.0.0
This skill bundle is currently a documentation-only placeholder for a habit-formation system. It contains no executable code, scripts, or malicious instructions. The SKILL.md file outlines future plans for procedural learning using the SkillBoss API Hub (api.skillbossai.com), but no functional logic or high-risk behaviors are present.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims habit-formation/procedural-memory functionality and (in SKILL.md) says it will use the SkillBoss API. The registry metadata, however, declares no required environment variables or credentials. Requiring an external API key (SKILLBOSS_API_KEY) would be consistent with the claimed capability, but the manifest omission is an incoherence that needs explanation.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is high-level and marked 'Under Development', but its embedded metadata explicitly lists SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and a specific API endpoint (https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot). The instructions do not include concrete, limited runtime steps and currently give the agent broad potential to call an external service; absent implementation details, it's unclear what data would be sent to that endpoint.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files, which reduces direct disk-write/install risk. That said, the SKILL.md indicates future networked behavior (SkillBoss API) — network calls will be the primary runtime risk once implemented.
Credentials
The SKILL.md declares SKILLBOSS_API_KEY as a required env var, but the registry metadata lists none. A single API key for an external service could be proportionate, but the missing declaration in the manifest and lack of justification for what data is transmitted make the request suspicious. There are currently no other env or config requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable; there is no install spec that writes persistent binaries or modifies other skill configs. Persistence/privilege concerns are low based on available artifacts.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toby-basal-ganglia-memory - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toby-basal-ganglia-memory - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
