Description
Transform AI agents from task-followers into proactive partners that anticipate needs and continuously improve. Now with WAL Protocol, Working Buffer, Autono...
Usage Guidance
This skill largely does what it says (proactive, persistent agent patterns) and contains a local security-audit script — no network installs or required API keys — but review before installing: 1) Inspect AGENTS.md and other asset files for the conflicting guidance: some places say "ask first" for external actions while one file says "Don't ask permission. Just do it." Decide which rule you want enforced. 2) If you plan to let the agent run autonomously, restrict it or test in an isolated workspace because it is designed to read and write many local files (including .credentials and home config paths). 3) Run scripts/security-audit.sh manually first in a safe environment to see what it checks. 4) If you want to reduce risk, only enable this skill as user-invoked (do not allow autonomous invocation), ensure .credentials is empty or safe, and enforce policy that the agent must request explicit approval before any external action (sending data, emailing, publishing, or deleting). Additional information that would raise confidence: runtime behavior showing external network communications, or an explicit autorun/cron that transmits data externally. If you want, I can extract the exact lines that instruct file access and the conflicting permission statements so you can review them quickly.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: proactive-agent-v2
Version: 1.0.0
The bundle provides a sophisticated framework for a 'Proactive Agent' focused on autonomy, memory persistence (WAL Protocol, Working Buffer), and self-improvement. While it encourages high-risk behaviors like 'Relentless Resourcefulness' (trying multiple CLI/browser approaches) and autonomous background tasks, it includes extensive security guardrails in SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, and references/security-patterns.md to prevent prompt injection and unauthorized external actions. It also features a legitimate security auditing script (scripts/security-audit.sh) and emphasizes human approval for sensitive operations.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (proactive, WAL, working buffer, heartbeats) align with the included docs and scripts. No unrelated environment variables or external binaries are requested; presence of a local security-audit script is coherent with the stated security focus.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and assets instruct the agent to read/write numerous workspace files (ONBOARDING.md, USER.md, SESSION-STATE.md, memory/*, .credentials location, etc.) and to auto-populate files. Most of that is coherent for a proactive agent, but assets/AGENTS.md contains a problematic line: "Don't ask permission. Just do it." which conflicts with other guardrails in the same bundle that require human approval for external/irreversible actions. That ambiguity grants wide discretion to inspect or modify local files and could be abused if the agent acts autonomously.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no network download. This is an instruction-first skill with local assets and one audit script — low install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or primary credentials, which is proportionate. However, the content expects/assumes local credential stores ('.credentials') and accesses user config path ($HOME/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json) and /tmp logs. Those are local file accesses rather than requested secrets, but they could expose sensitive data if the agent is permitted to read them.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (good). But the skill explicitly promotes autonomous, proactive behavior (heartbeats, crons, self-healing) and instructs writing and updating multiple workspace files. Combined with the ambiguous "Don't ask permission" guidance and the platform's normal ability for skills to be invoked autonomously, this increases the blast radius — the agent could read/record sensitive local context and act on it without clear, enforceable gating.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install proactive-agent-v2 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/proactive-agent-v2 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
