Description
A red-team advisor that challenges assumptions, stress-tests ideas, and gives brutally honest GO/NO-GO feedback. Use when evaluating business ideas, workflow...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for its stated purpose, but consider these precautions before installing or using it: (1) sessions_spawn gives the skill the ability to create sub-agents — avoid pasting secrets (API keys, passwords, PII) into the prompt or the idea text that you send to the mentor. (2) If you enable the optional cron that reads active-tasks.md, make sure that file doesn't contain sensitive data or secrets. (3) Confirm you trust the skill owner (source/homepage unknown). (4) Limit which models the skill can spawn or audit spawned-session logs if your platform allows it. If you want a higher assurance level, request the skill author publish a verifiable source/homepage and a minimal manifest explaining exactly what the spawned sessions are allowed to access.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ruthless-mentor
Version: 1.0.0
The 'ruthless-mentor' skill is a persona-based advisor designed to provide critical feedback and stress-test business ideas. It utilizes the 'sessions_spawn' tool to create a sub-agent with a specific system prompt focused on identifying risks and opportunity costs. The skill contains no malicious code, data exfiltration logic, or unauthorized execution patterns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is an instruction-only 'ruthless mentor' and declares the sessions_spawn tool in metadata; spawning a sub-agent is a reasonable and proportionate mechanism for implementing an independent adversarial reviewer.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly focused on creating a sub-agent with a specific system prompt and model. One minor scope note: the Integration section mentions an optional weekly cron to 'review active-tasks.md' — that implies the sub-agent might be given or read an internal project file. The SKILL.md also instructs pasting the user's idea/plan into the spawned session, which could expose sensitive content to the sub-agent model. These behaviors are within the stated purpose but carry privacy considerations.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files; instruction-only skill means nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. That is proportionate to its stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent/privileged system presence. It does rely on the sessions_spawn capability, which allows creating sub-agents; this is expected for the described behavior but increases the blast radius if the spawned agent receives sensitive inputs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ruthless-mentor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ruthless-mentor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
