Description
Prevent sycophantic reasoning via checklist enforcing evidence-based conclusions and honest analysis
Usage Guidance
This appears to be a text-only 'checklist' skill whose content matches its stated purpose — but there are a few mismatches you should resolve before installing: 1) The registry lists a required config path (night-market.imbue:proof-of-work) yet the bundle does not include that module or explain what the config contains; ask the author what that config key will hold and why it is needed. 2) SKILL.md references a ../proof-of-work module that isn't present in the manifest — request a complete bundle or documentation describing dependencies. 3) Metadata version (1.0.0) and SKILL.md version (1.8.2) differ — ask which is authoritative. If the author confirms the config key is only an enablement flag (no secrets, no external endpoints) and supplies the missing module or explains why it isn't required, the skill is coherent; otherwise avoid installing or run it in a restricted/non-production environment until clarified.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: nm-imbue-rigorous-reasoning Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle 'rigorous-reasoning' is a collection of Markdown-based instructions and protocols designed to enhance an AI agent's logical integrity and reduce sycophancy. The files (such as SKILL.md and various modules in the modules/ directory) provide frameworks for conflict analysis, debate methodology, and evidence-based reasoning, instructing the agent to prioritize truth over social comfort. There is no evidence of malicious code, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or harmful prompt injection; the content is entirely focused on behavioral and analytical guidelines consistent with its stated purpose.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (prevent sycophancy, enforce checklists) aligns with the included SKILL.md and modules: all content is reasoning frameworks and workflows. However the registry metadata declares a required config path (night-market.imbue:proof-of-work) that is not justified by the prose (no clear runtime secret or external API needs) and some SKILL text references a ../proof-of-work module that is not present in the file manifest. This suggests either a missing dependency or an unexplained gating/config requirement.
Instruction Scope
All runtime instructions are checklist and reasoning workflows. They do not instruct the agent to read system config, environment secrets, or call external endpoints beyond documentation links. The modules are self-contained textual protocols (conflict-analysis, correction-protocol, etc.). The only scope issue is references to an external proof-of-work module (relative path) which is not bundled; otherwise the instructions stay within their stated purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files beyond Markdown modules — instruction-only. This is low risk because nothing is written to disk or executed by an installer.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials, which is appropriate. But it does require a config path (night-market.imbue:proof-of-work). There is no explanation for what that config contains or why it's necessary for a checklist plugin. A required config entry named 'proof-of-work' could be benign (an enablement flag) or could imply some gating/auth artifact; the lack of justification is disproportionate to the skill's text-only behavior.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true (and model invocation enabled) — normal defaults. The skill does not request permanent presence or system-wide changes. Autonomous invocation is allowed but not combined with other high-privilege requests, so it does not raise additional concern by itself.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install nm-imbue-rigorous-reasoning
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /nm-imbue-rigorous-reasoning
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of rigorous-reasoning skill. - Enforces evidence-based, critical reasoning over conversational politeness. - Introduces explicit red-flag and cargo cult checklists to prevent sycophantic or superficial analysis. - Provides clear analysis workflows for conflict, debate, and engagement scenarios. - Defines required todos for transparency (activation, checklist, conclusion, retraction-guard). - Designed to integrate with proof-of-work and scope-guard skills for holistic evaluation.
