Description
让 OpenClaw 智能体拥有自我意识和元认知能力。提供 SELF_STATE.md 和 HEARTBEAT.md 模板,支持元认知自问(核心四问)、承诺追踪、羁绊记录。
Usage Guidance
This package is coherent and low-risk: it provides local templates and a tiny check script without network calls or secrets. Before enabling: (1) inspect SELF_STATE.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md and MEMORY.md for any sensitive content you don't want recorded; (2) confirm you are comfortable with the skill reading/writing files in your workspace; (3) test in an isolated workspace if you want to verify behavior (there is no automatic scheduler—the 'heartbeat' is a workflow you configure); and (4) note the source/homepage is unknown, so prefer manual review before granting wide autonomous use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: metacognition-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The 'metacognition-skill' bundle is designed to provide a framework for AI agents to track their internal state, commitments, and self-reflection through local Markdown files. The core functionality involves the agent maintaining files like SELF_STATE.md and HEARTBEAT.md within its workspace. The only executable script, scripts/check_state.sh, is a safe diagnostic tool that uses grep to display status information. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized network access, or malicious prompt injection was found; the skill aligns entirely with its stated purpose of enhancing agent self-awareness and roleplay.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (metacognition: SELF_STATE/HEARTBEAT templates, commitment tracking, heartbeat checks) align with the provided files and the single script. Required capabilities are minimal and appropriate for the stated goal.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs copying templates into the workspace and editing local files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, SELF_STATE.md, HEARTBEAT.md). This is consistent with the purpose, but it does involve reading/writing user workspace files (including SOUL.md/IDENTITY.md/MEMORY.md if present), so users should be aware those local files will be used/modified.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; instruction-only plus one small shell script (check_state.sh). No downloads, package installs, or extracted archives—low-risk installation footprint.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials. clawhub.json documents file read/write permissions limited to workspace files, which is proportionate. Caveat: files it reads (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, MEMORY.md, SELF_STATE.md) can contain sensitive user data — review contents before granting the skill access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no mechanism in the package to force persistent background processes. The skill may be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is expected; there is no evidence it modifies other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install metacognition-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/metacognition-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
