Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill requires Python dependencies. Install them with uv: # Install dependencies (recommended: use uv for faster installation) uv pip install -r requirements.txt # Alternative: use pip if uv is not available pip install -r requirements.txt Required packages: pandas>=2.0.0 — Data processing openpyxl>=3.1.0 — Excel file reading
This skill implements the following security measures: ✅ TLS Certificate Verification — All HTTPS connections to MOE servers use proper SSL/TLS certificate validation (no disabled verification) ✅ Zip-Slip Protection — Dictionary downloads validate all zip file paths before extraction to prevent directory traversal attacks (path validation applied) ✅ Safe File Handling — Extracted files are validated and stored in user-isolated directory (~/.openclaw/dictionaries/) ⚠️ Cron/Automatic Updates — If you enable automatic updates via cron, the skill will download dictionary files from MOE on your specified schedule. Consider the frequency and enable notifications to track changes.
This skill enables you to query Traditional Chinese dictionaries published by Taiwan's Ministry of Education. It provides: Word lookup — Search for word definitions with automatic fuzzy matching Dictionary management — Download, extract, and version-control dictionary data Update automation — Automatic periodic checks (cron) + manual update requests Extensible design — Currently supports "國語辭典簡編本" (Concised Dictionary), with room for other MOE dictionaries in the future
Users can look up words using natural language like: "請告訴我『蒼鷺』的意思" (Tell me the meaning of '蒼鷺') "查『梅雨』" (Look up '梅雨') "『破曉』是什麼意思?" (What does '破曉' mean?) The skill returns the primary definition first. If the user asks for details, provide: Full definition Examples/usage Related information from the dictionary Implementation: See query_dictionary.py for the search logic.
Users can trigger updates in two ways: Manual update: "更新字典" (Update dictionary) "重新下載國語辭典" (Re-download the dictionary) Automatic update (cron): Set up a cron job to check for updates monthly Compare local version (stored in metadata.json) against MOE's latest version Download and extract only if a newer version exists Implementation: See download_dictionary.py for download/extraction logic and check_updates.py for version management.
The skill respects a configuration file at ~/.openclaw/dictionaries/config.json: { "storage_path": "~/.openclaw/dictionaries", "auto_update_interval_days": 30, "dictionaries": { "concised": { "enabled": true, "name": "國語辭典簡編本", "source": "https://language.moe.gov.tw/001/Upload/Files/site_content/M0001/respub/dict_concised_download.html" } } } Users can customize storage_path to store dictionaries elsewhere. The default is ~/.openclaw/dictionaries/.
User: "請告訴我『藍寶石』的意思" Response: 藍寶石:寶石名。紅玉髓的一種。(如需詳細資料,請告訴我)
User: "『藍寶石』是什麼意思?告訴我更多" Response: 藍寶石:寶石名。紅玉髓的一種。 例句:... 相關詞語:...
User: "更新字典" Response: 正在檢查最新版本... 當前版本:2025-12-29 最新版本:[Latest from MOE] [如果有更新] 已更新字典至最新版本 (2025-12-29) [如果無更新] 字典已是最新版本
download_dictionary.py — Download zip from MOE, extract, parse xlsx, store locally query_dictionary.py — Search dictionary data, return definitions and optional details check_updates.py — Query MOE website for version info, compare with local metadata See DICTIONARY_SOURCES.md for data source URLs and version tracking.
