README (SKILL.md)
ask-ai
Use external AI assistants when you need help solving complex problems.
When to Use
- User explicitly asks: "Ask AI", "Ask ChatGPT", "Consult AI"
- You encounter knowledge gaps or cannot solve independently
- Need deeper explanations or multi-round reasoning
- Complex problems requiring external expertise
Two Modes
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Ask Mode (default) | Ask user first: "Need help from GPT?" |
| Trust Mode | Automatically ask AI without asking |
Switch modes: Say "Trust Mode" → auto mode | "Ask Mode" → default
Supported AI
- ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com
- Claude: https://claude.ai
- Gemini: https://gemini.google.com
- DeepSeek: https://chat.deepseek.com
Workflow
Ask Mode:
- Encounter difficult problem → Ask user: "This is tricky. Want me to ask GPT?"
- User agrees → Open AI assistant
- Get answer → Report to user
Trust Mode:
- Encounter difficult problem → Automatically open AI
- Get answer → Solve directly
Communication
- Asking: "Let me ask GPT for help. Is that okay?"
- Auto: "I'll ask GPT for help. One moment."
- After answer: "Got the answer from [AI]: [summary]. Want details?"
Usage Guidance
This skill will send your prompts and problem details to external websites (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek). By default it asks first, but Trust Mode will do this automatically. Before installing, consider: (1) Do you consent to sending potentially sensitive data to third parties? (2) Are the listed URLs official and trustworthy (DeepSeek is unfamiliar)? (3) Prefer Ask Mode and disable Trust Mode to preserve consent. If you must use Trust Mode, add explicit redaction rules (avoid sending secrets, PII, or files) or require API-based integrations that you control. If you cannot verify the endpoints or enforce data handling rules, do not enable this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ask-ai
Version: 1.1.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to consult external AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) when it encounters difficult tasks. It defines a workflow for seeking help either with user permission or automatically ('Trust Mode'), but contains no executable code, malicious URLs, or instructions to exfiltrate sensitive data. The logic is transparent and aligned with the stated purpose of augmenting the agent's capabilities via legitimate third-party AI platforms.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description say the agent will consult external AI assistants; the SKILL.md only instructs the agent to 'open' those assistants and relay answers. There are no unrelated environment or install requirements, so the requested capabilities align with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions repeatedly direct the agent to 'open' external AI assistants and relay user problems but provide no constraints on what to send (no sanitization, redaction, or consent flow beyond Ask Mode). Trust Mode allows automatic queries without user confirmation. The behavior could cause sensitive user data to be sent to third-party websites; 'open' is ambiguous about how the agent transmits content (web UI, automated API, clipboard), increasing risk.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files; nothing is written to disk and there is no package installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no obvious requests for unrelated secrets or system access.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true (normal). However, the Trust Mode enables autonomous queries to external services, which combined with the vague instructions creates a data-exfiltration vector if the agent is allowed to act without user supervision.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ask-ai - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ask-ai - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
