BC truclaw
Biometric guardrail for OpenClaw. Intercepts dangerous tool calls and requires Face ID verification via TruClaw iOS app before execution. Biometric processing is on-device only. A relay (Cloudflare Worker, source included) handles push delivery and JWT exchange.
As a process C 54/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency

How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
- 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
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 13 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (truclaw) differs from the folder (truclaw-biometric)
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, git, python, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 30 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1343 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +4No input/output examples
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 262: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 13 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 30 items
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 68.
External checks
ClawHub: suspicious
TruClaw has a coherent biometric approval purpose, but it asks users to install a privileged external plugin and sends tool-call details through third-party services while requiring sensitive identity enrollment.
