Apply structured thinking and MECE principle to break down complex problems. Use at the start of any strategic analysis to organize thoughts and create compe...
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with its stated purpose; it asks for nothing sensitive and performs no installs. The only minor caution: the skill's source/homepage is not provided, so if provenance matters to you, consider requesting the publisher identity or preferring a documented source. If the skill later adds code, installs, or requests environment variables, re-evaluate before enabling.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pyramid-principle
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only instructional content for the 'Pyramid Principle' framework. It provides a structured thinking methodology (MECE) and output templates for an AI agent to follow. There is no executable code, network activity, or evidence of malicious intent in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Pyramid Principle, MECE structured thinking) match the SKILL.md content: instructions for structuring arguments and producing a Pyramid-style analysis. Nothing requested (no env vars, binaries, or config paths) is extraneous to that purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md confines the agent to crafting structured analyses: define situation, complication, question, answer, supporting arguments, evidence, and MECE checks. It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external services, or exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files — the skill is purely instruction text. That minimizes on-disk or network risk and is proportionate for a conceptual/formatting helper.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no opaque secret names or unrelated credentials in the manifest — access level is minimal and appropriate.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no install hooks or self-modifying instructions. disable-model-invocation is false by default (normal for skills); this is not concerning here because the skill requires no sensitive access and is instruction-only.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pyramid-principle - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pyramid-principle - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
