Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only 'devil's advocate' skill that asks pointed questions and refuses to offer solutions by design. Technically it is low-risk—no installs, no credentials, no files—but be aware of behavioural/UX risks: it will be confrontational (no praise, forced challenge, limited to 1–2 questions) and can frustrate or derail conversations if used inappropriately. Try it in a controlled setting first, review sample outputs to ensure tone and safety fit your context, and avoid enabling it as always:true or giving it automatic broad invocation if you want to limit unexpected adversarial interactions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pm-chief-naysayer
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle contains instructions for an AI agent to act as a 'Chief Naysayer' for product logic stress-testing. The content is limited to markdown instructions (SKILL.md) and metadata (_meta.json), with no executable code, scripts, or network requests. The instructions define a strict persona and a three-stage questioning framework focused entirely on product management critique, lacking any indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the SKILL.md: the skill's sole function is to ask hard, scoped questions. No unexpected binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md is prescriptive and enforces adversarial conversational behavior (zero praise, 1–2 questions, stage gating, drift detection). This is consistent with the stated purpose, but it is very constraining and may produce a brusque or repetitive user experience; it does not instruct the agent to read files, access env vars, or exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files; instruction-only skills have minimal disk or network risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested—proportional and minimal.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal user-invocable/autonomous settings. The skill does not request permanent presence or modify other skills/configs.
