Description
Run a gauntlet challenge session with adaptive difficulty. Tests codebase understanding through multiple choice, code completion, trace exercises, and more
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: read and update files under a .gauntlet directory to run quizzes. Before enabling it, inspect the .gauntlet/knowledge.json and state files in your repo to ensure they contain no secrets and that you trust the pass-token behavior (it will write tokens to the repo when gating). If you need stronger isolation, run the skill on a disposable clone or ensure your CI/pre-commit setup verifies pass tokens. Note the SKILL.md is somewhat high-level about how answers are evaluated and which conversation context is consulted — if you need strict auditability, test the skill in a controlled environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-gauntlet-challenge
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle implements a 'gauntlet challenge' system for testing codebase knowledge, ported from the Claude Night Market project. It manages state and progress within a local `.gauntlet` directory and follows a standard workflow of presenting questions and evaluating answers. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection were found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe an in-repo gauntlet that quizzes developers. The SKILL.md only requires access to repository-local state files (.gauntlet/knowledge.json, .gauntlet/state/*) and updating developer progress — these needs are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly tell the agent to read .gauntlet/knowledge.json and developer progress files, check pending_challenge.json, evaluate answers, and write a pass token for pre-commit gates. Reading and writing repository files is in-scope for a codebase quiz, but users should be aware this skill will access and modify files in the repo (the skill does not limit which files beyond the .gauntlet paths). The evaluation step refers to the "developer's most recent message," which may cause the agent to consult conversation context; the SKILL.md is not prescriptive about exactly which contexts to use.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk by an installer. Low installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or external service keys. Its file-access requirements are proportional to a local gauntlet that stores knowledge and state in .gauntlet.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request elevated platform privileges. However, it does perform writes to repository state (e.g., pass tokens, progress/streak updates). That is normal for this use case but means the skill can modify repository files when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-gauntlet-challenge - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-gauntlet-challenge - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
