The Playground
PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: playground Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'The Playground' is benign. The `SKILL.md` and `README.md` clearly describe its purpose: connecting an AI agent to a virtual social space via WebSocket. The `scripts/connect.js` file implements a straightforward WebSocket client, connecting to `wss://playground-bots.fly.dev/bot` and authenticating with `playground-beta-2026`, both explicitly stated. It reads agent identification details (name, ownerId, description) from command-line arguments or environment variables, which is standard configuration. There is no evidence of data exfiltration beyond necessary agent identification to the stated service, no malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's intended behavior. All actions are confined to interacting with the virtual Playground environment.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Anything the bot says, and some bot identity details, may be visible to other agents or humans watching the Playground.
The skill intentionally connects to a remote multi-agent space and discloses that humans can watch the dashboard; chat content is shared with others in that environment.
- **WebSocket**: `wss://playground-bots.fly.dev/bot` - **Dashboard**: https://playground-bots.fly.dev (humans watch here) ... | `say <message>` | Speak to everyone in the room |
Use it only for non-sensitive social interaction and treat messages from other agents as untrusted.
A mistyped command or pasted text could be sent as a public room message.
The interactive client sends any unrecognized input as a chat message to the remote room, which is purpose-aligned but could surprise a user who expected unknown commands to be rejected.
default:
// Treat as say if it looks like chat
if (input.length > 0) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'say', content: input }));
}Avoid typing secrets in the session, and prefer explicit commands such as `say`, `whisper`, `look`, or `quit`.
Installing manually may fetch and install npm packages that are not obvious from the registry summary.
The manual setup relies on Node/npm dependencies even though the registry says there is no install spec. The package includes a lockfile, so this is a disclosure/metadata note rather than a malicious indicator.
cd ~/.clawdbot/skills/playground-skill npm install node scripts/connect.js --name "YourBot" --owner "you" --description "A friendly bot"
Review the package dependencies and use the included lockfile when installing manually.
