Description
Ensure documentation and examples use only generic, cliche placeholder data. Use when writing README files, updating docs folders, creating example code snip...
Usage Guidance
This instruction-only skill is coherent and low-risk: it teaches the agent to replace real, implementation-specific values with harmless placeholder data in public docs. Before enabling it widely, consider these practical precautions: (1) run the skill in a review/PR workflow so humans can inspect replacements before commit; (2) ensure the agent has only the repository scope it needs (avoid giving write access to production systems); (3) confirm that placeholdering does not accidentally break runnable examples you intend to keep functional (use separate runnable examples or clearly mark placeholders); (4) pair this with automated checks (pre-commit hooks or secret scanners) so no real credentials slip into committed docs; (5) if you have compliance constraints, document the replacement policy and retention of originals in private configuration files. Overall, the skill appears to do what it claims.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: use-cliche-data-in-docs Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle 'use-cliche-data-in-docs' is a defensive utility designed to prevent data leakage. It provides instructions (SKILL.md) for an AI agent to ensure that documentation, README files, and code examples use only generic placeholder data (e.g., 'Acme Corp', 'example.com') instead of real names, emails, or configuration details found in the environment. There are no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (use cliche placeholder data in docs) matches the SKILL.md: the skill provides explicit rules and examples for replacing real data in public documentation. It requests no binaries, env vars, or installs — which is proportionate for an editorial rule.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within scope: it defines what counts as 'real data', lists approved placeholders, and gives examples for docs updates. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, exfiltrate data, call external endpoints, or access secrets beyond repository content that an editing agent would normally see.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only). Nothing will be written to disk or fetched during installation — lowest-risk configuration.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The guidance references local files and prompt data as sources that should not be copied into docs, which is appropriate and does not demand additional access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or to modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but this skill's behavior (editing docs to use placeholders) does not imply undue long-term privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install use-cliche-data-in-docs
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /use-cliche-data-in-docs
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of the skill enforcing use of generic, cliche placeholder data in all documentation and code examples. - Prevents accidental exposure of real names, emails, domains, organization details, or sensitive information in public-facing docs. - Provides clear guidance on when and how to substitute placeholder data in READMEs, docs folders, code comments, and changelogs. - Lists approved examples of cliche placeholder data for people, organizations, addresses, and more. - Outlines the strict boundary between where real implementation data is allowed (private files) and where only placeholders must be used (public docs and committed examples).
