BC Uncle Matt
Uncle Matt is the new and exciting OpenClaw security skill that lets agents use approved API actions through a hardened local Broker without seeing secrets, calling arbitrary URLs, or becoming an open proxy.

How to improve
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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 52/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Uncle Matt) differs from the folder (uncle-matt)
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Failures and branches. 5 branches
- 100Steps. 66 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1255 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 13 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.

External checks
ClawHub: suspicious
The skill is a coherent security-broker guide, but installing it requires running unpinned external installer scripts and a Docker build that were not included for review.
