Walkie-Talkie Mode

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: walkie-talkie Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle describes a 'walkie-talkie' mode for WhatsApp, using local tools for voice transcription and text-to-speech. The `SKILL.md` file outlines a workflow that involves executing local scripts (`tools/transcribe_voice.sh`) and binaries (`bin/sherpa-onnx-tts`) and writing temporary files to `/tmp`. Crucially, the constraints explicitly state 'Use local tools only', which mitigates concerns about remote execution or data exfiltration. There is no evidence of prompt injection, malicious execution, data exfiltration, or other harmful behaviors in the provided content. The described actions are consistent with the stated purpose.

Findings (0)

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.

What this means

If the referenced local tools are missing or untrusted, the skill may fail or may run a local program the user did not intend to trust.

Why it was flagged

The runtime instructions depend on local helper paths/binaries that are not bundled or declared in the supplied install metadata, so users need to ensure those local tools come from trusted sources.

Skill content
Use `tools/transcribe_voice.sh` ... generate speech using `bin/sherpa-onnx-tts`.
Recommendation

Review or install trusted versions of the transcription and TTS tools, and prefer metadata that declares the required binaries and setup steps.

What this means

The skill needs local command execution to create audio replies.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to execute a local TTS command. This is purpose-aligned for local voice generation, but it is still local command execution that should rely on trusted binaries.

Skill content
bin/sherpa-onnx-tts /tmp/reply.ogg "Tu mensaje aquí"
Recommendation

Use only reviewed local binaries and keep the command paths controlled so the skill does not invoke an unexpected executable.

What this means

The skill may send generated text and audio responses to the active WhatsApp conversation.

Why it was flagged

The workflow includes sending generated files/messages through a messaging tool. This is expected for WhatsApp walkie-talkie mode, but users should understand it can produce outbound messages.

Skill content
Send the resulting `.ogg` file back to the user as a voice note. ... send `/tmp/reply.ogg` via `message` tool with `filePath`.
Recommendation

Enable it only in intended chats and review sensitive replies or recipients before relying on automatic sending.
