- high
- Model
- gpt-5-mini
- Summary
- The skill's instructions are simple and match its stated purpose: it tells the user to set an environment variable in their shell config to hide the OpenClaw banner.
- Guidance
- This is a simple, coherent instruction to add export OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1 to your shell rc to suppress the banner. Before editing, back up your shell config (e.g., cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.bak). To test without persistence, run export OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1 in a terminal and start the CLI; if it works, add it to your rc. Be sure to update the correct file for your shell (bash may use ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc; zsh may use ~/.zprofile or ~/.zshrc). Removing the line and sourcing the file reverts the change.
Review Dimensions
- Purpose & Capability
- okThe name/description (hide the OpenClaw CLI banner) match the instructions (set OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1). There are no unrelated permissions, installs, or credentials requested.
- Instruction Scope
- noteInstructions ask the user to edit their shell rc file (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) to export OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1 and to source the file. Editing shell config is appropriate for this change but is a persistent modification to user startup files; the skill does not instruct reading unrelated files or exfiltrating data.
- Install Mechanism
- okNo install spec or code files are present; this is instruction-only so nothing is written or executed by the skill itself.
- Credentials
- okNo environment variables or credentials are required by the skill itself. The single env var it recommends (OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER) is directly relevant to the stated goal.
- Persistence & Privilege
- okThe skill does not request always: true, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. The change it suggests is a user-managed persistent environment variable in the user's shell config.
