BB mem9
Persistent cloud memory for OpenClaw agents. Use when users say: - "install mem9" - "setup memory" - "add memory plugin" - "openclaw memory" - "mem9 onboarding" - "memory not working" - "import memories" - "upload sessions"

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5766 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "keywords" - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 27, 154, 159, 169, 379, 451): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (mem9) differs from the folder (mem9-ai)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5766 tokens
- 100Steps. 71 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 10 branches, has a failure section
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 16 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
