Description
Creative exploration during quiet hours. Turns idle heartbeat time into freeform thinking — hypotheticals, future scenarios, reflections, unexpected connecti...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: locally decide when to produce short creative journal entries and store them under data/ and memory/dreams/. Before installing: ensure jq and (optionally) python3 are installed; confirm WORKSPACE is unset or points to the intended project directory so files aren't written elsewhere; inspect or back up any existing data/dream-state.json or memory/dreams to avoid accidental overwrite; be aware the script updates data/dream-state.json each run (concurrent heartbeats could race). If you want stricter safety, run the script in a container or from a workspace copy first to validate behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mar-dreaming
Version: 1.0.0
The 'dreaming' skill is a creative journaling tool designed to trigger AI reflection during idle hours. The core logic in `scripts/should-dream.sh` safely manages state and timing using `jq` and `python3`, while the `SKILL.md` instructions provide a harmless prompt for the agent to write exploratory thoughts to local markdown files. No indicators of data exfiltration, unauthorized network access, or malicious intent were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (creative background dreaming) align with what is included: a small gate script that decides whether to 'dream' and JSON/files for state and outputs. Required binaries (jq, python3) are appropriate for JSON parsing and randomness used by the script.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent only to run the included script during quiet-heartbeat checks and to write output to local memory/dreams files. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system files, network endpoints, or secrets.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only with a small included shell script and state/config JSON. Nothing is downloaded or executed from remote URLs and no archives are extracted.
Credentials
No credentials are requested. The only env var mentioned is an optional WORKSPACE that changes where data and memory are written — useful and expected, but if set to an unexpected path it could cause the script to write outside the intended workspace. Recommend verifying WORKSPACE before use.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-on and is user-invocable; it does not request broad platform privileges, nor does it alter other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation remains possible (platform default) but is not combined with other red flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mar-dreaming - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mar-dreaming - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of the "dreaming" skill for creative exploration during quiet hours.
- Captures freeform thoughts and scenarios to files for later human review, instead of idling during HEARTBEATs.
- Configurable quiet hour windows, topics, and "dreaming" frequency via simple environment variables and JSON files.
- Supports custom topics and maximum dream counts per night.
- Written explorations are timestamped and stored as markdown entries, designed to be genuine and meaningful.
