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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

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

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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 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.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

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

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned openclaw/openclaw at f12a8dee23.

    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

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that operates locally on your devices and responds to you across various messaging platforms. It supports channels like Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more. The system can both speak and listen via macOS/iOS/Android and offers a live Canvas interface for user interaction.

When to use it

  • Need a private assistant: Use OpenClaw when you want an AI assistant that doesn't rely on external cloud services and keeps your data local.
  • Cross-platform communication: Ideal for managing interactions across multiple messaging apps (Slack, Telegram, Discord) from a single interface.
  • Local control & responsiveness: When low latency and immediate responses are important, OpenClaw’s local operation provides an advantage.
  • Customizable interaction: Utilize the Canvas feature to create custom interfaces or workflows within the assistant.

Key capabilities

  • Supports multiple messaging platforms (Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.)
  • Local operation for data privacy and low latency.
  • Voice input/output on macOS/iOS/Android devices.
  • Live Canvas interface for interactive control.

Example prompts

  • "Hey OpenClaw, remind me to follow up with John tomorrow morning via Telegram."
  • “OpenClaw, show me the canvas.”

Tips & gotchas
