Description
Transform any topic into a polished, New York Times bestselling-quality self-help book chapter, outline, or full manuscript. Use this skill whenever the user...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and low-risk from a technical/security perspective, but review a few non-security issues before installing: (1) factual claims — verify studies and dates before publishing (the skill repeatedly instructs citing researchers but mistakes can still occur); (2) legal/ethical — it recommends emulating living bestselling authors' styles, which can raise copyright or 'style-of' policy concerns depending on your platform and use (consider asking for a distinct voice instead); (3) stories — the story bank uses real people and events; confirm any sensitive or private details and avoid defamation; (4) broad-trigger behavior — because the skill says to be used for casual mentions of self-help, watch for cases where it might be invoked unintentionally. If you plan to publish commercially, perform an independent fact-check and rights/legal review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: self-help-author
Version: 1.0.0
The self-help-author skill bundle is a comprehensive set of writing guidelines, templates, and reference materials designed to assist an AI agent in generating high-quality self-help content. The instructions in SKILL.md and the supporting reference files (formats.md, science-toolkit.md, story-bank.md) are entirely focused on the stated creative purpose and contain no code, malicious instructions, or attempts at data exfiltration or unauthorized system access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (produce self-help book content) align with the actual instructions and included reference files; the skill does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions stay within writing and citation guidance and reference bundled templates and story bank. Note: the skill instructs the agent to emulate the voices of named, living bestselling authors and to 'Always use this skill for self‑help writing — even casual mentions,' which is an editorial/ethical concern (style-of/copyright) and may cause the agent to apply the skill broadly when any self-help language appears.
Install Mechanism
No install spec, no downloads, and no code files — lowest-risk installation model (instruction-only).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; nothing disproportionate to a writing assistant.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated system privileges or modify other skills/config; normal autonomous invocation is possible but not exceptional.
