Description
让 Agent 可控地"装笨"——根据场景调整智能表现水平。 支持多种笨法人格(金毛犬、苏格拉底、迷糊实习生等)和10级笨度调节。 触发条件:用户说"装笨"、"别那么聪明"、"笨一点"、"play dumb"、"dumb mode"。 安全底线:涉及人身安全、医疗、法律、金融的问题自动解除装笨。
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose — it purposely makes the agent give partial or wrong answers as a UX feature. Before enabling it broadly, consider: (1) restrict use to non-critical conversations (no medical, legal, financial, safety scenarios); (2) verify the safety triggers in your environment (keyword matching and 'frustration' detection can be brittle); (3) test the skill with edge-case prompts to confirm it reliably exits 'play dumb' when required; (4) enable logging/auditing so you can review when the agent intentionally withheld or altered accuracy; (5) if you need stronger guarantees, add explicit runtime checks (e.g., semantic classification of intent) rather than relying only on the supplied keyword heuristics. If you are uncomfortable with intentional misinformation even in non-critical contexts, do not install.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: play-dumb
Version: 1.0.0
The 'play-dumb' skill is a roleplay-oriented bundle designed to adjust the AI agent's persona and perceived intelligence level based on user triggers. It consists entirely of Markdown prompts and YAML configurations (e.g., SKILL.md, config/boundaries.yaml) without any executable code, system commands, or network access. The skill includes robust safety boundaries that force the agent back to full intelligence for critical topics such as medical, legal, and safety advice, demonstrating a lack of malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (simulate varying degrees and personas of 'playing dumb') match the provided prompts, persona files, and presets. The skill requires no binaries, env vars, or installs — all proportional to an instruction-only stylization skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and all prompt files explicitly instruct the agent to produce incomplete/erroneous responses as a deliberate behavior and to 'remain internally aware'. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, access environment variables, or send data to external endpoints. However the safety/unwinding logic (keyword-based 'never_play_dumb', 'detect frustration', 'repeat question >=3') is heuristic and might fail in edge cases, so the instruction set introduces an operational risk of producing misleading information in contexts the heuristics miss.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install step, no downloads, and no code files to execute — lowest install risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The included config files only define internal persona and boundary rules, which is proportionate to the skill's purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
No 'always: true' or special privileges; default autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but the skill does not request persistent system-wide changes or other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install play-dumb - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/play-dumb - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of play-dumb: a controllable "dumb mode" that adjusts agent intelligence and persona.
- Supports 6 preset "dumb" personalities and 10 levels of "dumbness."
- Easily activated in conversation with phrases like "play dumb," "装笨," or choosing a persona.
- Includes safety overrides: auto-disable in sensitive scenarios (safety, medical, legal, finance, frustration, or repeated queries).
- Sample dialogues and configuration examples provided.
- Uses techniques like delayed understanding, partial knowledge, intentional mistakes, and Socratic questioning.
