/install nm-leyline-utility
Description
Score candidate agent actions by expected gain, cost, uncertainty, and redundancy to guide dispatch and termination decisions
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally coherent and low-risk: it only provides heuristics and requires no credentials or external installs. Before enabling it in production, confirm (1) which consuming skills will be allowed to set utility_gated:true (prescriptive mode can force actions), (2) that you are comfortable granting consumer skills access to conversation history/TaskList/token counters, and (3) that consumers correctly log/justify any overrides. Absence of regex findings is expected for an instruction-only skill — review integrations and frontmatter of consumer skills that adopt it to ensure they don't inadvertently grant excessive privileges.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-leyline-utility
Version: 1.0.0
The nm-leyline-utility skill is a decision-making framework for agent orchestration based on the research paper 'Utility-Guided Agent Orchestration for Efficient LLM Tool Use' (arXiv:2603.19896). It provides structured logic in files like SKILL.md and modules/action-selector.md to score candidate actions based on expected gain, cost, uncertainty, and redundancy. The skill is designed to optimize agent efficiency and cost-control, and it contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (utility for scoring action candidates) match the instructions: all files describe how to build state and compute Gain/Cost/Uncertainty/Redundancy. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and modules instruct the LLM to read conversation history, TaskList, session token counters, files read, and dispatched-agent metadata to construct state — these are expected for an orchestration utility, but they do assume the consumer skill/agent grants access to that contextual data. The prescriptive mode (utility_gated: true) can force consumers to follow the selected action, which is a behavioral enforcement worth noting before enabling.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk or downloaded. This is the lowest-risk install profile.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill relies on in-agent data (conversation history, TaskList, token counters), which is appropriate for its function.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install means it does not persist or auto-enable itself. However, if a consumer sets frontmatter utility_gated:true, the consumer skill must follow the selected action (prescriptive enforcement) — this gives the utility influence over run-time decisions but is opt-in by the consumer.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-leyline-utility - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-leyline-utility - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
