/install nm-conserve-smart-sourcing
Description
Select optimal information sources for tool calls and file reads, balancing accuracy with token efficiency
Usage Guidance
This skill is an instruction-only policy for when to include citations and does not request credentials or install software, so it's internally coherent. Before enabling it, consider: (1) the skill tells the agent to perform web searches and cite sources but doesn't constrain which search tools/endpoints to use — ensure your agent's web/search tools are the ones you trust; (2) there's a small version mismatch between SKILL.md and registry metadata (likely harmless but worth noting). If you rely on strict provenance or audited search endpoints, review or constrain the agent's web/tool configuration before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-conserve-smart-sourcing
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains behavioral instructions for an AI agent to optimize token usage by selectively providing citations and performing web searches. It consists of a metadata file and a markdown instruction set (SKILL.md) that defines a decision framework for balancing accuracy with efficiency, with no executable code, data exfiltration risks, or malicious prompt injection patterns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (selecting when to source citations) align with the SKILL.md content. The skill is instruction-only and does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths. Minor metadata inconsistency: SKILL.md lists version 1.8.2 while registry metadata shows 1.0.0 — likely a packaging or metadata mismatch but not a functional red flag.
Instruction Scope
Instructions constrain sourcing to high-value factual claims and include a clear decision framework, inline citation examples, and when to use uncertainty markers. They instruct the agent to perform web searches and cite sources when warranted; this implies external network/tool usage (expected for sourcing) but does not specify which search/tool endpoints to use. That lack of binding could lead the agent to use any available web/search tool — expected but worth noting.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes disk footprint and supply-chain risk.
Credentials
Requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The SKILL.md does not request secrets or access to unrelated systems.
Persistence & Privilege
Flags are default (always: false, agent-invocable allowed). The skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges and does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-conserve-smart-sourcing - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-conserve-smart-sourcing - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of smart-sourcing skill for intelligent selection of sources.
- Prioritizes citations for high-value factual claims; avoids sources for general concepts and common knowledge.
- Includes a decision framework to determine when sourcing is required, when uncertainty markers are sufficient, and when no source is needed.
- Provides inline citation, uncertainty marker, and confidence level guidelines for responses.
- Integrates with related plugins for response compression, token conservation, and research workflows.
