Description
Turn long documents, reports, proposals, and email threads into decision-ready memos with key points, risks, open questions, and next steps.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent: it only contains instructions for turning documents into decision memos and requests no credentials or installs. Before installing or using it, consider: (1) Where you run the agent — if it sends document text to a remote API (the model provider), don’t paste confidential documents unless you trust that environment. (2) The skill expects to process PDFs/email threads but does not include tooling to ingest them; ensure your agent has a way to provide the text (OCR/attachment handling) if needed. (3) Because the skill may 'infer' missing context, review outputs for assumptions and do not treat recommendations as legal/financial/medical advice. If you want stronger safety guarantees, ask the publisher for details about how document handling and any external calls are performed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mckinsey-decision-memo-writer
Version: 1.2.0
The skill bundle, including the `SKILL.md` instructions, appears to be benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides clear, well-defined instructions for an AI agent to process documents and generate decision memos, comparisons, or executive briefs. There are no instructions for prompt injection, data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or any other malicious activities. All files are consistent with a legitimate productivity tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (produce decision-ready memos from documents) match the SKILL.md instructions. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the skill's scope (summarize documents, highlight risks, recommend next steps). One minor note: it explicitly tells the agent to 'infer' decision context when the user gives very little information, which grants the agent broader discretion but is coherent with producing a memo.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; requested capabilities are proportionate to the described task.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated or persistent privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other red flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mckinsey-decision-memo-writer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mckinsey-decision-memo-writer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
