Description
Break any problem down to fundamental truths, then rebuild solutions from atoms up. Use when user says "firstp", "first principles", "from scratch", "what are we assuming", "break this down", "atomic", "fundamental truth", "physics thinking", "Elon method", "bedrock", "ground up", "core problem", "strip away", or challenges assumptions about how things are done.
Usage Guidance
This appears safe to install as a reasoning aid. Be aware that its broad trigger phrases may steer some ordinary requests into a structured decomposition format, and review its recommendations before acting on them in important business, financial, legal, or safety-sensitive decisions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: first-principles-decomposer Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle consists entirely of markdown documentation and metadata, outlining a cognitive process for problem decomposition. The `SKILL.md` instructions for the AI agent are focused solely on analytical tasks (identifying assumptions, breaking down problems, rebuilding solutions) and do not contain any directives for system access, network requests, data exfiltration, or other high-risk behaviors. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts with malicious intent, executable code, or suspicious external dependencies.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The artifacts consistently describe decomposing problems into assumptions, fundamental truths, and rebuilt solutions; the examples and reference material align with that stated analytical purpose.
ℹ Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to clarifying the problem and producing structured analysis. The trigger list includes broad phrases such as "from scratch" and "break this down," which could cause occasional unintended activation, but that is a routing/fit issue rather than a security concern.
✓ Install Mechanism
The bundle contains markdown files and metadata only, with no executable scripts, dependencies, install hooks, or package commands.
✓ Credentials
No local files, credentials, environment variables, external services, network requests, or sensitive data flows are requested, which is proportionate for a reasoning framework.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
The artifacts do not define background execution, memory storage, privilege escalation, ongoing workers, or persistent modification of the user environment.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install first-principles-decomposer
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /first-principles-decomposer
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
