Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: append timestamped local log entries for session recovery. Before installing: (1) Only run the script from a trusted source — the package metadata has no homepage and a single owner ID, so verify the file if you care about provenance. (2) Do not log passwords, API keys, or other secrets — the log file is plaintext and the README explicitly warns about this. (3) Add ~/clawd/STATE.log to .gitignore as recommended and restrict file permissions (e.g., chmod 600) or consider encrypting the logfile if you will store sensitive operational details. (4) Consider a retention/rotation policy beyond simple rename for long-term storage and ensure backups (if any) are secure.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: wal-memory Version: 1.0.2 The skill provides a write-ahead log (WAL) system for agent memory persistence, which is a legitimate and useful function. The `state-log.js` script simply appends timestamped messages to a local file (`STATE.log`) and performs basic log rotation, without any network calls, `eval`/`exec` of untrusted input, or access to sensitive system resources. The `SKILL.md` instructions are clear, guide the agent to set up the logging system, and explicitly warn against logging sensitive data and recommend adding `STATE.log` to `.gitignore`, demonstrating security awareness. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or prompt injection designed to harm the agent or system.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (WAL memory for session recovery) aligns with the delivered artifacts: a small Node script that appends timestamped entries to ~/clawd/STATE.log and a GOALS template. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs local operations only: copying script to ~/clawd/scripts, creating ~/clawd/memory/GOALS.md, reading/tailing local STATE.log and memory files, and adding heartbeat logging. These actions match the stated recovery workflow and do not instruct reading unrelated system state or contacting external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only with one small JS script (no downloads or external packages). The only runtime requirement is Node.js being on PATH, which is consistent with the script.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The only implicit requirement is write access to ~/clawd/STATE.log when the script is installed and run, which is reasonable for a local logger.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent platform privileges, modify other skills, or alter system-wide agent settings. Its persistence is limited to creating/rotating a local log file.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install wal-memory
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /wal-memory
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
