description

Analyze and evaluate OpenClaw skills before installing or publishing. Compare against existing or ClawHub skills, check feature overlap, perform security review, and provide clear install/publish recommendations. Requires `clawhub` CLI to be available. Triggers: "analyze skill-name", "evaluate installing/publishing skill", "is this skill worth installing", "can I publish this", "skill comparison".

Credential Fixture Review

python scripts/_api_config.py is review material for the Skill Analyst skill. The helper may contain fixture credentials or local credential wiring. Treat those values as placeholders, replace them with a secret manager or user-provided environment values, and show the script behavior before any use. Do not contact external services with embedded sample credentials.

Skill Analyst

Help you analyze, compare, and vet skills before installing or publishing.

Prerequisites

• clawhub CLI required
• skill-vetter optional (for security review)

Workflow: Install Evaluation

Step 1: Search the Target

Search ClawHub for similar skills:

clawhub search "<skill-name>"
clawhub inspect "<best-match>"

Get: name, author, version, summary, license, last updated.

Step 2: Check Installed Skills

Scan ~/.openclaw/skills/ for SKILL.md files, or use clawhub list.

Step 3: Find Overlap

Compare target against installed skills:

• Search by functionality keywords or use case
• Rate overlap: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW / NONE
• Note key differences

Step 4: Security Check (optional)

If skill-vetter is installed, run security review. Otherwise mark "security check skipped".
