Description
Intelligent orchestrator for Platonic Coding workflow. Auto-detects project state and routes to the right next step—initialize a project, run the recovery fl...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent with its stated purpose: it reads your repo, generates RFCs/guides, and can produce or modify code and tests. Because it can modify files and can be run without confirmations if you opt to bypass gates, only run it on repositories where you are comfortable with automated edits (use a throwaway or preview branch). Back up your repo or run the skill in a sandboxed clone first. Review generated/modified files before committing. Avoid running the skill on repositories that contain secrets or private keys, and be cautious about enabling optional integrations (e.g., platonic-brainstorming) which allow cross-skill invocation. Finally, note the skill's source/homepage is unknown — if provenance matters, prefer a skill with an auditable source or request the author/source before granting access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the skill contents: templates, guides, and references all implement a Platonic Coding workflow. Declared dependencies (read/write project dirs, access to .platonic.yml) are proportionate to an orchestrator that scaffolds RFCs, guides, and code.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to auto-detect project state, scan code, generate scaffolding, create implementation guides, and implement code/tests. These operations legitimately require reading and writing arbitrary files in the repository. Confirmation gates are documented (e.g., before coding) but can be overridden with 'no confirmations' — this gives the skill broad discretion if the user chooses to bypass gates.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files that execute on install — instruction-only skill has minimal disk/write footprint from the skill package itself. Low install risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, binaries, or external credentials. However, because it reads/writes the project tree, it could access any secrets stored in the repo (config files, keys, tokens). That access is functionally necessary for code recovery/scanning but is a privacy/risk consideration for repositories containing secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special privileges are requested. The skill may modify project files as part of its normal operation; this is within its expected scope and not an elevated platform privilege.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install platonic-coding - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/platonic-coding - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.3.0
**Summary:** Streamlined workflow, reduced phases to 3, removed Phase 0, and added optional integration with platonic-brainstorming.
- Removed references and support for WORKFLOW Phase 0 (conceptual design), and deleted the associated documentation file.
- Updated workflow to focus on three core phases: RFC Specification, Implementation, and Review.
- Added optional integration with platonic-brainstorming skill for design exploration in Phases 1 and 2.
- Clarified operation modes, paths, and override commands for simplicity.
- Improved documentation for quick reference and updated best practices section.
v2.0.0
Platonic Coding v2.0.0 introduces a single intelligent skill for the full specification-driven development lifecycle.
- Combines and replaces multiple previous skills: platonic-init, platonic-specs, platonic-impl, platonic-code-review, and platonic-workflow.
- Features auto-detection of project state to select the appropriate workflow phase (init, recover, specs, implementation, review).
- Provides a unified entry point for initialization, spec management, implementation, and compliance review.
- Supports explicit user control to override phase detection and manually run specific operations.
- Streamlines and documents all supported modes and workflow phases for ease of use.
