The one heuristic I try to keep in mind whenever dealing with anyone on the phone is “if they called you, they want something from you”.

Even if this isn’t true, and someone is calling you out of the goodness of their heart, for reasons beneficial to you, if you treat everyone who calls you with the same suspicion you would treat a cold caller on your doorstep, that’s a good way to get yourself in the correct frame of mind to avoid getting scammed.

this is a really good point that I neglected in my original dismissal of the project: it's going to be super useful for DIYers and small shops in the less regulated parts of the world.

Good point.

Also, the author specifically mentions OpenClaw in the example skill frontmatter, so I'm wondering if their workflow even involves CC.

Thank you !

So in the UK you won’t get sign off from building control if your electrician uses a dodgy uncertified device, and that results in your insurance being invalidated, at least according to my policy.
