Description
Prevent bad strategic decisions by surfacing assumptions, testing feasibility, and exposing critical flaws before execution.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk because it is instruction-only and asks for no external credentials or installs. Before relying on its outputs: (1) treat viability scores and recommendations as advisory, not definitive—verify critical conclusions with humans, especially for legal/financial decisions; (2) test the skill on low-risk/example ideas to confirm the style and thoroughness of the extracted assumptions/tests; (3) avoid submitting sensitive secrets or private data into the prompts; and (4) note the source is 'Morpheus' / unknown registry metadata—if provenance matters for your use case, verify author/trust independently.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: reality-check
Version: 1.0.0
The 'reality-check' skill is a purely analytical tool designed to help users evaluate the feasibility of plans and identify strategic flaws. The instructions in SKILL.md and reality-check.md focus on logical reasoning, assumption testing, and risk assessment without any requests for system access, network communication, or sensitive data retrieval.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all describe the same capability (surfacing assumptions, proposing tests, scoring viability). The skill requires no binaries, credentials, or config paths — consistent with a lightweight analytical helper.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md steps are limited to identifying assumptions, proposing tests, assessing impact, and producing a score/recommendation. The instructions do not direct the agent to read files, access external endpoints, or harvest environment data. The only open behavior is 'extract assumptions' when not provided, which is reasonable for this task.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no disproportionate request for secrets or unrelated service access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and uses normal autonomous invocation defaults. It does not request persistent system-level privileges or attempt to modify other skills' configurations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install reality-check - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/reality-check - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of the reality-check skill for strategic decision validation.
- Surfaces explicit and implicit assumptions in plans.
- Assesses each assumption for truth criteria, cheapest test, and failure risk.
- Ranks weakest links based on impact and evidence.
- Evaluates feasibility, critical flaws, and gives a 0–100 viability score.
- Recommends whether to proceed, revise, or stop, plus next validation steps.
- Focuses on separating evidence from hypothesis and prioritizes realism over optimism.
