/install reasoning-personas
Description
Activate different high-agency thinking modes to unlock better reasoning. Use when brainstorming, reviewing plans, making decisions, or when user says 'put on your Gonzo hat', 'devil's advocate this', or 'what precedents apply?'
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want the assistant to apply named reasoning personas during brainstorming, reviews, and decisions. Before installing, be aware that it may make answers more contrarian, critical, or precedent-focused without always labeling the active persona; ask the agent to label personas or use neutral reasoning for sensitive conversations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: reasoning-personas
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle consists of metadata and markdown files defining various 'reasoning personas' for an AI agent. The instructions in SKILL.md and references/persona-details.md are entirely focused on guiding the agent's internal thought processes and reasoning frameworks (e.g., 'Gonzo Truth-Seeker', 'Devil's Advocate'). There is no executable code, no attempts at data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, obfuscation, or any prompt injection aiming to subvert the agent's core functions, ignore user instructions, or access sensitive data beyond its stated purpose. The content is clearly aligned with the stated goal of enhancing the agent's reasoning capabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently define reasoning personas and question frameworks, which matches the stated purpose of improving brainstorming, review, and decision analysis.
Instruction Scope
The skill uses broad activation contexts and allows personas to run silently, so it can subtly change response tone or priorities, but this behavior is disclosed and aligned with the skill's purpose.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains only markdown files and metadata; no executable scripts, package dependencies, installers, or command hooks are present.
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials, environment variables, network access, local file access, external services, or system-specific permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
There is no persistence mechanism, background worker, memory store, privilege escalation, account access, or mutation authority.
