Description
Writing skill for practitioner judgment under ambiguity, critique, trade-offs, and incomplete information. Use it when the user wants advice, strategy, or de...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only contains prompt instructions, examples, references, and a small local Python script that scans text for 'fluff' patterns. Before installing, you may want to (1) open SKILL.md and examples.md to confirm the output shape meets your needs, (2) inspect scripts/detect_fluff.py (it reads files or stdin and exits non‑zero on detected patterns) and avoid running arbitrary scripts if you don't intend to, and (3) if you embed this skill in an autonomous agent, remember the agent may call it to rewrite responses — there are no network calls or credential requirements in the package itself.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: michael-polanyi
Version: 0.5.3
The skill bundle is designed to improve AI response quality by transforming generic advice into grounded practitioner judgment. It contains stylistic instructions in SKILL.md and a benign Python utility, scripts/detect_fluff.py, which uses regular expressions to identify common AI-generated 'fluff' phrases. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found; the code and instructions are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of enhancing communication style.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (turn generic answers into grounded practitioner judgment) match the provided artifacts: SKILL.md, examples, references, and a small local helper script. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or external services are required.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits runtime behavior to producing a specific response shape and instructs which local files to load for examples and reference. It does not instruct the agent to read system config, environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints. The referenced helper (scripts/detect_fluff.py) analyzes text locally (files or stdin) and is consistent with the skill's quality-check purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by an installer. The package contains only local content (docs and a small Python script) which is appropriate for the skill's purpose.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no requests for unrelated secrets or broad system access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable with normal autonomous invocation allowed (disable-model-invocation is false). Given the lack of sensitive access or install actions, this normal autonomy does not materially increase risk.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install michael-polanyi - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/michael-polanyi - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
