Installs fetch a stored snapshot of that commit, so the code can't change after the fact.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 3 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    SKILL.md has no YAML frontmatter, so it declares nothing machine-readable.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.apple.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 1 place.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned zscole/matrix-agents at 7c2ba65fdd.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

Matrix Agents enables the coordination of multiple AI agents across different machines using a self-hosted Matrix server. This setup avoids reliance on external services and API limits, allowing for scalable agent communication within your own infrastructure. The system utilizes a bridge script to translate Matrix messages into events that trigger agent actions via OpenClaw.

When to use it

  • Scalable Agent Coordination: When you need multiple AI agents working together beyond the limitations of cloud-based platforms.
  • Privacy and Control: If you require full control over your agent communication data and want to avoid sending it through third-party services.
  • Federated Environments: For scenarios where agents need to communicate across different, self-managed networks.
  • High Volume Communication: When dealing with a large volume of messages between agents that would exceed API rate limits on external platforms.

Key capabilities

  • Self-hosted Matrix server (Synapse) via Docker.
  • End-to-end encryption support.
  • No imposed message rate limits.
  • Bridge script for translating Matrix messages to OpenClaw wake events.
  • Easy setup with provided scripts (setup.sh, create-user.sh, etc.).

Example prompts

  • "Run ./create-user.sh agent3 MySecretPassword to create a new agent user."
  • "Start the Matrix bridge on machine A using: python3 bridge.py --user @agent1:home.local --password SecurePass123 --room '!<room_id>:home.local'. "

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Docker to be installed for running Synapse.
  • Ensure OpenClaw is accessible at the specified URL in the bridge configuration (--openclaw-url).
