Description
Transform raw brain dumps (dictated freestyle) into structured implementation artifacts. Use when user has messy ideas, scattered thoughts, or dictated strea...
Usage Guidance
This skill looks coherent and does what it says: it will read your project files to generate contracts and specs and then write them to ./docs/ideation/{project-name}/. Before installing or enabling autonomous invocation: (1) confirm the agent is only allowed to access the intended project directory (not your entire home or system configs), (2) be aware codebase exploration may read files that contain secrets (env files, config, credentials) — if you have such files in the repo, remove or restrict them first, (3) require explicit user approval before letting the skill proceed from contract to spec (the SKILL.md already asks for approval, but enforce it in runtime policy), and (4) review generated files before committing or sharing. If you want extra safety, restrict the skill's filesystem scope to a sandboxed project path and disable autonomous invocation unless you explicitly trigger the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-skill-ideation
Version: 0.1.0
The `SKILL.md` file instructs the AI agent to perform 'file reading and search' across the existing codebase to understand project structure and relevant code. While this capability is plausible for the skill's stated purpose of generating implementation artifacts based on an existing project, it grants broad file system access. This presents a significant prompt injection vulnerability, as a malicious user could potentially trick the agent into reading sensitive files (e.g., configuration, credentials) and incorporating their content into generated outputs or agent responses, leading to information disclosure. Additionally, the `spec-template.md` includes example `bash` validation commands, which, if maliciously generated by the agent (via prompt injection) and executed by a user, could lead to remote code execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (turn brain dumps into implementation artifacts) aligns with the declared behavior: read the codebase for context, score confidence, ask targeted questions, and write contracts/specs to ./docs/ideation/{project-name}/. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to read and search the existing project codebase and to create ./docs/ideation/{project-name}/ and write contract/spec files when confidence ≥95%. Reading the codebase is coherent with the skill's purpose. The instructions do not tell the agent to read unrelated system paths or to send data to external endpoints, but they also do not explicitly limit exploration to a well-defined project root or describe handling of sensitive files (e.g., config files containing secrets).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. Lowest-risk install surface; nothing will be written to disk by an installer aside from the agent's normal operations when it follows the SKILL.md instructions.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or external service access. That matches the described purpose and the instructions.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The skill is allowed to be invoked autonomously by the agent (default), and the instructions call for reading the codebase and writing files under ./docs/ideation/. The SKILL.md requires explicit user approval before proceeding from contract generation to spec generation, which limits destructive actions; however, the workflow implies automatic codebase exploration and confidence scoring before that approval step, so the agent may inspect project files as soon as the skill runs. Consider whether autonomous invocation and filesystem access should be restricted by policy.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-skill-ideation - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-skill-ideation - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.1.0
openclaw-skill-ideation v0.1.0
- Initial release of the ideation skill for transforming messy brain dumps into structured implementation artifacts.
- Introduces a multi-phase, confidence-gated workflow: Intake, Codebase Exploration, Contract Formation, Phasing, Spec Generation, and Handoff.
- Emphasizes thorough understanding of the existing codebase before spec writing, and mandates a confidence scoring system to ensure clarity.
- Automatically generates, writes, and organizes artifacts—contracts, PRDs, specs—under ./docs/ideation/{project-name}/.
- Supports both rapid technical spec generation and more formal PRD/spec flows for larger or cross-functional projects.
