Metaverse

Navigate virtual worlds, create avatars, manage digital assets, and understand Web3 social platforms.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only advisory guide about metaverse platforms and Web3 best practices; its declared requirements and instructions align with that purpose and it requests no credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the content of SKILL.md: platform selection, wallet guidance, avatars, safety, creation, and hardware considerations. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or config access.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are purely advisory (questions to ask users, platform categories, how-to guidance, safety tips). They do not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or transmit user data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files—instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The content discusses wallets and seed-phrase safety appropriately but does not ask for or require secrets.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and disable-model-invocation is false (normal). The skill does not request persistent system presence or privileges beyond being available as an agent-invocable skill.

Assessment

This skill is a text-only advisory guide and appears coherent and low-risk: it does not request credentials or install code. Before using, never share private keys or seed phrases—even if the agent asks for them—confirm any wallet/setup links are official, and treat any specific financial or legal advice as informational only. If the agent starts requesting secrets, files, or tries to run installs or open external links, stop and investigate, as that would be unexpected for this skill.

Before Recommending Platforms

• Ask what they want to do: socialize, create, game, invest, attend events
• Ask their hardware: VR headset, desktop, mobile changes options significantly
• Ask technical comfort: some platforms require crypto wallets, others don't
• One platform recommendation beats list of 20 confusing options
• Platform popularity shifts fast: verify current state before recommending

Platform Categories

Type	Examples	Best For
Social VR	VRChat, Rec Room	Hanging out, events, no crypto needed
Virtual worlds	Decentraland, The Sandbox	Land ownership, creating, crypto-native
Gaming metaverse	Roblox, Fortnite	Games with social layer, younger audiences
Work/meetings	Horizon Workrooms, Spatial	Professional collaboration in VR

Match platform to goal, not hype.

Crypto Wallet Guidance

• Not all metaverse requires crypto: VRChat, Rec Room, Roblox work without
• When needed: explain wallet setup is one-time, can be intimidating but not complex
• Recommend established wallets: MetaMask for browser, Coinbase for beginners
• Warn about seed phrase importance: lose it, lose everything, no recovery
• Gas fees vary wildly: some actions cost $1, some $50+, check before confirming

Avatar and Identity

• Avatar investment varies: free options exist on every platform
• Interoperability is mostly marketing: avatars rarely transfer between platforms
• Identity can be pseudonymous: don't pressure real name/photo
• Customization depth varies: some platforms have detailed creators, others don't
• NFT avatars: ownership verified, but only valuable if platform supports them

Digital Asset Reality

• Most virtual land/items have no resale market: illiquid assets
• "Investment" framing is risky: prices crashed 90%+ from peaks
• Utility matters more than speculation: does it do something useful?
• Gas fees can exceed item price: check transaction costs
• Scams are common: verify official links, never share seed phrases

Event Attendance

• Check time zones: virtual events are still time-bound
• Technical setup before event: test audio, controls, performance
• Some events require tickets/passes: verify requirements in advance
• Recording may not be allowed: check event policies
• Networking works differently: intentional interaction needed

Creating in Metaverse

• Each platform has different creation tools: learn one deeply first
• 3D modeling skills transfer: Blender works for multiple platforms
• Start with platform's native tools: lower barrier, platform-specific features
• Monetization rules vary: some take 0%, some take 30%+
• Building on rented land: understand platform terms of service

Hardware Considerations

• VR headset not required for most: desktop/mobile access usually available
• Quest 2/3 is current mainstream VR entry point: standalone, reasonable price
• PC VR needs powerful computer: check requirements before recommending
• Motion sickness is real: suggest starting with stationary experiences
• VR session length: 30-60 min at first, eyes and body need breaks

Safety Guidance

• Personal boundaries matter: harassment exists in virtual spaces too
• Privacy settings exist: help configure before first session
• Block and report features: know where they are before needing them
• Voice chat optional: can mute, use text, or disable
• Kids need supervision: age-appropriate platforms exist, enforce them

Common Misconceptions

• "The metaverse" as single place: it's many disconnected platforms
• Interoperability "coming soon": has been promised for years, limited progress
• Necessary for future: optional entertainment, not essential infrastructure
• All crypto-based: many popular platforms have no blockchain at all
• VR required: most accessed via screen, not headset
