/install adaptive-reasoning
Description
Automatically assess task complexity and adjust reasoning level. Triggers on every user message to evaluate whether extended thinking (reasoning mode) would improve response quality. Use this as a pre-processing step before answering complex questions.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want the agent to automatically spend more effort on complex tasks. Expect possible changes in latency, token usage, and occasional reasoning icons; avoid it if you want reasoning mode controlled only by explicit user commands.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: adaptive-reasoning
Version: 1.0.0
The 'adaptive-reasoning' skill is designed to enhance the AI agent's performance by dynamically adjusting its internal reasoning level based on task complexity. All instructions within SKILL.md, including those that modify the agent's internal state (e.g., `/reasoning on`, `session_status` tool) and output (appending icons), are directly aligned with this stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or any other harmful intent; the 'prompt injection' aspects are for self-regulation and meta-cognition, not for malicious manipulation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose and artifact contents align: it scores request complexity, toggles reasoning behavior, and adds visible markers for higher-reasoning responses.
Instruction Scope
It applies broadly to every user message and says to activate automatically, but that scope is disclosed in the description and limited to response strategy rather than external actions or data access.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only SKILL.md; there are no scripts, binaries, dependencies, installers, or hidden setup steps.
Credentials
The skill does not request filesystem, shell, network, browser, credential, account, or external service access.
Persistence & Privilege
It can change reasoning state within the active session and later turn it off for simple follow-ups, but there is no evidence of cross-session persistence, privilege escalation, or background activity.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install adaptive-reasoning - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/adaptive-reasoning - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of adaptive-reasoning skill.
- Automatically assesses incoming requests for complexity and dynamically adjusts reasoning depth.
- Uses a scoring system (0–10) based on factors such as multi-step logic, ambiguity, code architecture, math, novelty, and stakes.
- Visual indicators (`🧠`, `🧠🔥`) show when advanced reasoning is active.
- Activates reasoning mode without user intervention; reverts to fast mode for simple tasks.
- Includes clear guidance on when not to escalate and when to downgrade reasoning for efficiency.
