/install negotiation
Description
Tactical negotiation framework based on Chris Voss's "Never Split the Difference." Use when preparing for negotiations, during live negotiation scenarios, analyzing counterpart behavior, crafting responses to difficult conversations, handling objections, salary/contract negotiations, or when asked about negotiation techniques like mirroring, labeling, calibrated questions, or the Ackerman method.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and instruction-only. Before installing, note: (1) it recommends researching counterparts — ensure any background checks you run comply with privacy and legal rules and avoid scraping or accessing private data; (2) the agent can generate suggested wording for live negotiations, so review outputs before sending them (verify tone, accuracy, and compliance with company policy); and (3) use negotiation tactics ethically—some phrasing (e.g., re-engagement prompts) can be persuasive and should not be used to deceive or coerce. No technical or credential risks were found.

Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle 'negotiation' is benign. All files (`_meta.json`, `SKILL.md`, `techniques.md`) contain only descriptive text and instructions related to negotiation strategies and techniques. There is no evidence of malicious intent, prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or any other high-risk behaviors.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the included SKILL.md and techniques.md: both provide negotiation tactics and workflows. There are no unrelated requirements (no binaries, env vars, or config paths) that would be inconsistent with a negotiation guidance skill.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are purely prescriptive guidance for conversation techniques (mirroring, labeling, calibrated questions, Ackerman method, etc.). The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints. It does recommend researching the counterpart (public research/context), which is appropriate for negotiation prep and not a hidden data-access behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install specification or code files that would write or execute third-party artifacts are present. This instruction-only skill has the lowest install risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. No secret access is required or declared.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not forced-always (always: false) and does not request persistent privileges or to modify other skills. Model invocation is allowed (default), which is normal for user-invocable skills and acceptable here given the lack of other risks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
