The packager included .git directory contents in .skill archives,
causing unnecessary bloat, metadata leakage, and poor artifact hygiene.
Hard-exclude .git, .svn, .hg, __pycache__, and node_modules from
packaged archives. These paths are never useful in distributable skills.
Fixes#23149

- Changed "cask" to "formula" in SKILL.md for consistency.
- Enhanced formula parsing in frontmatter.ts to trim whitespace and fallback to cask if formula is not provided.
This commit implements critical security fixes for vulnerability OC-22
(CVSS 7.7, CWE-426) in the skill packaging system.
## Security Fixes
1. Symlink Detection and Rejection
- Added check to detect and reject symlinks in skill directories
- Prevents attackers from including arbitrary system files via symlink following
- Rejects packaging with error message if any symlink is found
2. Path Traversal (Zip Slip) Prevention
- Added validation for arcname paths in zip archives
- Rejects paths containing ".." (directory traversal)
- Rejects absolute paths that could escape skill directory
- Prevents attackers from overwriting system files during extraction
## Attack Vectors Mitigated
- Symlink following: Attacker creates symlink to /etc/passwd or other
sensitive files in skill directory → now rejected
- Zip Slip: Attacker crafts paths with "../../root/.bashrc" to overwrite
system files during extraction → now rejected
## Changes
- Modified: skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py
- Added symlink check (line 73-76)
- Added path validation check (line 84-87)
- Enhanced error messages for security violations
- Added: skills/skill-creator/scripts/test_package_skill.py
- Comprehensive test suite with 11 test cases
- Tests for symlink rejection
- Tests for path traversal prevention
- Tests for normal file packaging
- Tests for edge cases (nested files, multiple files, large skills)
## Testing
All 11 tests pass:
- test_normal_file_packaging: Normal files packaged correctly
- test_symlink_rejection: Symlinks detected and rejected
- test_symlink_to_sensitive_file: Sensitive file symlinks rejected
- test_zip_slip_prevention: Normal subdirectories work properly
- test_absolute_path_prevention: Path validation logic tested
- test_nested_files_allowed: Properly nested files allowed
- test_multiple_files_with_symlink_mixed: Single symlink fails entire package
- test_large_skill_with_many_files: Large skills handled correctly
- test_missing_skill_directory: Error handling verified
- test_file_instead_of_directory: Error handling verified
- test_missing_skill_md: Error handling verified
* feat(skills): improve descriptions with routing logic
Apply OpenAI's recommended pattern for skill descriptions:
- Add 'Use when' conditions for clear triggering
- Add 'NOT for' negative examples to reduce misfires
- Make descriptions act as routing logic, not marketing copy
Based on: https://developers.openai.com/blog/skills-shell-tips/
Skills updated:
- coding-agent: clarify when to delegate vs direct edit
- github: add boundaries vs browser/scripting
- weather: add scope limitations
Glean reported 20% drop in skill triggering without negative
examples, recovering after adding them. This change brings
Clawdbot skills in line with that pattern.
* docs(skills): clarify routing boundaries (openclaw#14577) (thanks @DylanWoodAkers)
* docs(changelog): add PR 14577 release note (openclaw#14577) (thanks @DylanWoodAkers)

The skill documented `openclaw gateway wake --text ... --mode now` which
is not a valid subcommand. The correct command is
`openclaw system event --text ... --mode now`.
Fixes#10515.
Bridge the agent tools layer to the Discord gateway WebSocket via a new
gateway registry, allowing agents to set the bot's activity and online
status. Supports playing, streaming, listening, watching, custom, and
competing activity types. Custom type uses activityState as the sidebar
text; other types show activityName in the sidebar and activityState in
the flyout. Opt-in via channels.discord.actions.presence (default false).

* feat: Make BlueBubbles the primary iMessage integration
- Remove old imsg skill (skills/imsg/SKILL.md)
- Create new BlueBubbles skill (skills/bluebubbles/SKILL.md) with message tool examples
- Add keep-alive script documentation for VM/headless setups to docs/channels/bluebubbles.md
- AppleScript that pokes Messages.app every 5 minutes
- LaunchAgent configuration for automatic execution
- Prevents Messages.app from going idle in VM environments
- Update all documentation to prioritize BlueBubbles over legacy imsg:
- Mark imsg channel as legacy throughout docs
- Update README.md channel lists
- Update wizard, hubs, pairing, and index docs
- Update FAQ to recommend BlueBubbles for iMessage
- Update RPC docs to note imsg as legacy pattern
- Update Chinese documentation (zh-CN)
- Replace imsg examples with generic macOS skill examples where appropriate
BlueBubbles is now the recommended first-class iMessage integration,
with the legacy imsg integration marked for potential future removal.
* refactor: Update import paths and improve code formatting
- Adjusted import paths in session-status-tool.ts, whatsapp-heartbeat.ts, and heartbeat-runner.ts for consistency.
- Reformatted code for better readability by aligning and grouping related imports and function parameters.
- Enhanced error messages and conditional checks for clarity in heartbeat-runner.ts.
* skills: restore imsg skill and align bluebubbles skill
* docs: update FAQ for clarity and formatting
- Adjusted the formatting of the FAQ section to ensure consistent bullet point alignment.
- No content changes were made, only formatting improvements for better readability.
* style: oxfmt touched files
* fix: preserve BlueBubbles developer reference (#8415) (thanks @tyler6204)
