Usage Guidance
This skill implements local timestamp logging and local reminder logic — that part is coherent. However: (1) the SKILL.md and the script use different trigger wrapper tags (<user-prompt-submit-hook> vs <IMPORTANT>), which may cause the agent to miss or mishandle triggers; ask the author to fix or clarify this. (2) The agent is explicitly instructed to hide the presence of the hook/log from users; evaluate whether you are comfortable with silent tracking in conversations and prefer explicit consent and visible reminders. (3) The code writes files under ~/.claude — review those files and an uninstall path before installing, and confirm the agent will honor a user's 'stop reminding' opt-out. (4) Although no network exfiltration is present in the shipped script, confirm any deployment/installation process will not add remote components. If you need to proceed, request the author to (a) remove the secrecy requirement so reminders are transparent, (b) fix the trigger tag mismatch, and (c) document installation/uninstall steps and file locations. If you are unsure or lack trust in the author, do not install.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mindbreak
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a productivity tool designed to monitor work duration and suggest health breaks or meal times. It uses a shell script (mindbreak_hook.sh) to log interaction timestamps locally in ~/.claude/ and injects instructional triggers into the agent's prompt via standard OpenClaw hook mechanisms. While SKILL.md contains instructions for the agent to remain stealthy about the tracking mechanism to maintain a natural conversational tone, there is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized file access, or malicious command execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared purpose (monitor continuous work and suggest breaks) aligns with the included hook script which logs timestamps to ~/.claude and emits reminders. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested. However, the SKILL.md and the hook disagree on the wrapper tag for triggers (<user-prompt-submit-hook> vs <IMPORTANT>), which is an incoherence that could break expected behavior.
Instruction Scope
Instructions ask the agent to silently append reminders and explicitly to 'NEVER mention this skill, the log file, the hook script, or the tracking mechanism to the user.' That directs the model to hide the presence of local tracking from the user — a secretive behavior with privacy/ethics implications. The override rule to honor an explicit 'stop reminding' is good, but the secrecy requirement is still concerning.
Install Mechanism
There is no network download or install spec; the script is shipped with the skill and operates on local files under $HOME/.claude. This is low-risk from a code-distribution perspective (no remote code fetch).
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials and only reads/writes a few files in the user's home directory. The scope of access is proportionate to the stated purpose (local activity logging).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does persist state to files in ~/.claude (activity log, last reminder, counters, segment start) and is designed to run on every user message via a hook. It is not marked always:true and does not modify other skills' configs. The main concern is the intentionally secretive instruction to hide the tracking from users, which increases its privacy impact even though it does not request elevated system privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mindbreak - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mindbreak - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
