BC openclaw-deploy
Interactive deployment guide for OpenClaw local capabilities. Walks through installing the Memory Stack (qmd + LosslessClaw), vid2md, WeChat plugin, and maintenance cron jobs — with confirmation gates between each phase. Run when setting up a new OpenClaw instance or adding capabilities to an existing one.
As a process C 58/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
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 skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- 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.

frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "triggers"
Process rating: all ten parameters 58/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (openclaw-deploy) differs from the folder (oc-deploy-guide)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Failures and branches. 4 branches
- 100Steps. 6 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3381 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low The response is described with custom markup (3 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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.
