OpenClaw
Benign
high confidencePurpose & Capability
The skill's name/description match the actions in SKILL.md: it backs up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, verifies key names against openclaw source, edits JSON via a safe Python snippet, validates via the openclaw CLI, and provides recovery steps. All requested operations are proportional to editing/validating config.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to the gateway config and local openclaw installation. One practical caveat: the grep path is hard-coded to an nvm node_modules path (~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/...), which may not exist on the user's system and could cause false negatives when verifying keys; the grep usage also requires the user to replace the KEY placeholder. Otherwise the steps do not read or transmit external data beyond the local filesystem and the local 'openclaw' CLI.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code is included; this is instruction-only, so nothing is written or downloaded by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials and the instructions do not request secrets or unrelated configuration. All file accesses are to local openclaw files and (optionally) local node_modules for verification.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. The default model-invocation setting (allowing autonomous calls) is normal and not problematic here given the limited, local scope of the instructions.
Assessment
This skill is an instruction-only helper for safely editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Before using it: confirm you have the openclaw CLI installed and working; ensure the hard-coded grep path matches where openclaw is installed on your system (your node/npm installation might be in a different path); replace the KEY placeholder in the grep commands when verifying keys; run the backup step before any edit and test restores in a safe environment if possible. The skill's commands operate only on local files and do not exfiltrate secrets.Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
