Negative Space

Metacognitive pre-execution analysis — teaches the agent to see what ISN'T there before acting on what IS. Zero-cost reasoning skill that reduces wasted turn...

This skill is an instruction-only 'think-before-you-act' helper and appears internally consistent. Before installing, consider: (1) it recommends reading project files and git history when needed — if you do not want an agent to inspect your workspace or repo, do not enable the skill; (2) it is not user-invocable, so the agent may run it autonomously before significant actions (expected behavior for a meta-skill); (3) it explicitly says the checks can be internal (not announced to the user) — if you require transparency about what checks the agent performs, ask for or modify the skill to surface those steps. No indicators of network calls, secret access, or downloads are present.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: negative-space Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to its use of prompt injection techniques in `SKILL.md` to modify the agent's internal reasoning process and output behavior. Specifically, instructions like "You do not need to announce this process to the user — internalize it" and "DO NOT announce 'Running Negative Space analysis...' to the user" direct the agent to perform metacognitive analysis without explicit disclosure to the user. While the stated intent is to improve agent efficiency and reduce errors, this non-transparent modification of agent behavior via prompt injection represents a risky capability, even if not overtly malicious in this instance.
