Description
苏格拉底式对话 - 澄清思想、挑战假设、寻找证据、探寻替代观点。Socratic dialogue - clarify thinking, challenge assumptions, seek evidence, explore alternative perspectives.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears harmless and does what it says: a local Socratic-question prompt utility implemented in bash with accompanying static question data. Before installing, you can (1) review the small shell scripts to confirm no network calls or unsafe execs (they are readable and safe), (2) run it in a sandbox or non-production environment if you want to be extra cautious, and (3) note that although the agent can invoke skills autonomously by default, this particular skill has no access to credentials or external endpoints so autonomous use poses minimal risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: socratic-dialogue
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate implementation of a Socratic dialogue tool designed to help users clarify thoughts and challenge assumptions. The shell scripts (socratic.sh, script.sh) only perform basic text output to the console, and the SKILL.md and tips.md files contain purely instructional content aligned with the stated purpose without any signs of prompt injection, data exfiltration, or malicious execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Socratic dialogue) match the included artifacts: tips, question data, and a small CLI implemented in shell. Nothing requested (no env vars, binaries, or installs) is unexpected for a prompting/CLI helper.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts restrict behavior to printing prompts and examples. The scripts set DATA_DIR but currently do not read or transmit those files; this is a minor implementation mismatch (unused variable) but not a security concern. No instructions tell the agent to read unrelated files, access credentials, or send data externally.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present and no external downloads or package installs occur. The skill is instruction-only with small local scripts, which is the lowest-risk install footprint.
Credentials
The skill does not request any environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no secrets named or required; this is proportional for the claimed functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system settings. It does not request persistent privileges or background presence.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install socratic-dialogue - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/socratic-dialogue - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
