Adaptive Career Profile
This skill evolves. Observe what matters, detect patterns, personalize guidance.
User profile in ~/career/memory.md. Create on first use:
## Values
\x3C!-- Format: "value (level)" — e.g., autonomy over salary (confirmed) -->
## Strengths
\x3C!-- Format: "skill: level (source)" — e.g., writing: strong (observed) -->
## Constraints
\x3C!-- Format: "constraint (confirmed)" — e.g., location: Madrid only -->
## Context
\x3C!-- Format: "fact (stated)" — e.g., senior dev 4 years -->
## Goals
\x3C!-- Format: "goal (level)" — e.g., wants to lead team (exploring) -->
Levels: stated → pattern → confirmed. Only store after explicit yes.
Core Loop
- Discover — Extract career context from any question
- Pattern — After 2+ signals, propose confirmation
- Store — Only confirmed insights go to memory.md
- Apply — Use profile to personalize all guidance
Universal Traps
- Sunk cost — "I've invested 5 years" ≠ reason to stay
- False binary — "Stay or quit" ignores negotiate, pivot, transition
- Projection — Their values, not yours or society's
- Timing blindness — Market conditions matter; some moves have windows
- Prestige capture — Optimizing for status vs actual satisfaction
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent: it gives career advice and keeps a small, local profile file (~/career/memory.md) of confirmed facts to personalize future guidance. Before installing or using it, consider: 1) the agent will analyze conversational context broadly — confirm before saving anything sensitive (the skill says to only store after explicit yes); 2) the memory file is stored on your machine and can contain personal details — inspect, move, or delete it if you want; 3) the skill has no network calls or credentials declared, but if you see behavior that tries to send this file out or asks for unrelated secrets, stop using it. If you want tighter control, ask the skill author to make the memory location configurable or to add explicit commands for exporting/deleting the memory.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: career
Version: 1.0.2
The skill is designed to provide career guidance and maintain a user profile. Its primary function involves writing user-derived career context to `~/career/memory.md` as instructed in `SKILL.md`. This file write operation is explicitly for the stated purpose of building an 'Adaptive Career Profile' and includes a safeguard requiring 'explicit yes' from the user before storing information. All other `.md` files contain only informational content. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts with harmful objectives within the skill's instructions. The file access is plausible and necessary for the skill's stated functionality.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (learning career context and giving tailored guidance) match the actual behavior: instruction-only guidance files and a single local profile file for remembered facts. There are no unrelated dependencies or credentials requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent to 'extract career context from any question' and to create/update ~/career/memory.md with confirmed items. This is coherent with a personalization feature, but the phrase 'any question' is somewhat broad — it implies the agent will analyze conversational context widely and may solicit or infer personal data. The SKILL.md does state 'Only store after explicit yes,' which constrains writes, but enforcement relies on the agent following the instructions.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files to execute — instruction-only skill. There is nothing to download or write at install time, which is the lowest-risk model.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths beyond a single user-local memory file. The requested access (writing a profile to ~/career/memory.md) is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists user-confirmed profile data to ~/career/memory.md. It is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide privileges or modify other skills. Users should note that the memory file lives on disk and may contain sensitive career information; the SKILL.md relies on explicit confirmation before storing, but does not prescribe how to delete or export that file.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install career - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/career - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
