Interesting, but scary, given that this is not a google product. Who knows whether that breaks any TOS somehow.

This is made by Google Devrel. It's not going to break the TOS, but it could be abandoned. That happens frequently with devrel projects, since they're not actually tasked with or graded on engineering projects.

It’s published by Google, they just don’t provide active “support” for it.

Can you show that the major contributors are employed by Google? I'm not arguing, I'm genuinely asking. Thank you.

Having the available commands change on you dynamically seems like an anti-pattern, but I suppose an AI can deal with it.

You can check their GitHub profile. If they are in https://github.com/googlers, then they are internally verified.

I can already see all the CTOs are getting excited to plug this in their OpenClaw instances.

This is a very interesting way of building agent skills. Seems like the imperative way of orchestration/automation is making a comeback.
