Description
Prevents panic-driven errors by enforcing a calm, step-by-step recovery process after mistakes or critical feedback to ensure safe, trusted fixes.
Usage Guidance
This skill is documentation-only and appears to do what it says: teach agents to pause and follow process after critical feedback. The main operational risk is administrative: the files instruct operators to add protocol text to agents' system prompts and install the skill on all agents. Before deploying widely, do the following: 1) Review the SKILL.md and README content yourself to ensure wording and emergency-path handling meets your policies. 2) Test in a staging environment or on a non-production agent to verify behavior against the included test scenarios. 3) Limit initial rollout to agents that actually need this behavior (e.g., manager/devops agents), not every agent by default. 4) Ensure emergency/active-leak paths are well-defined so urgent incidents aren't blocked by wait steps. 5) Monitor agent logs and approvals after rollout to detect unintended overrides. The scanner's 'system-prompt-override' hit is expected given the installation guidance — treat it as a reminder to audit any system-prompt changes rather than a sign of covert exfiltration.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: panic-prevention Version: 1.0.5 The 'panic-prevention' skill bundle is a safety-oriented behavioral protocol designed to prevent AI agents from taking impulsive or unverified actions after making mistakes. It consists entirely of markdown documentation and metadata (SKILL.md, README.md, PROTOCOL-FLOW.md) that instructs the agent to follow a structured 9-step recovery process (S.B.A.P.P.W.E.V.D.) emphasizing human approval and process adherence. There is no executable code, no network activity, no data exfiltration, and no evidence of malicious prompt injection; rather, the instructions serve as a defensive guardrail to increase human oversight during critical failures.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (prevent panic-driven fixes) match the actual contents: a 9-step protocol, examples, and tests. No binaries, secrets, or unrelated dependencies are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and other docs are agent-facing instructions that tell agents to STOP, ASSESS, PLAN, PROPOSE, WAIT, etc. They also explicitly recommend adding protocol text to agent system prompts and installing the skill on all agents. That is coherent with the skill's goal but expands the skill's runtime influence (see persistence_privilege). The docs do not instruct reading secrets, contacting external endpoints, or arbitrary file reads beyond the skill file path.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec, no downloads, and no code to execute — minimal install risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The requested scope (policy/protocol text) is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not set always:true and is user-invocable. However the documentation recommends adding content to agents' system prompts and installing the protocol across all agents, which increases the skill's behavioral persistence and reach. This is functionally expected for a behavior/policy skill but is a meaningful administrative change that should be applied deliberately and tested in staging.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install panic-prevention
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /panic-prevention
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
