/install nm-abstract-escalation-governance
Description
Assess whether to escalate models
Usage Guidance
This skill is a readable governance checklist for deciding when to escalate to a stronger model; it doesn't install software or ask for secrets. If you plan to use it inside an automated orchestration system, verify the complete SKILL.md (the file provided is truncated in the manifest) and ensure the orchestrator's escalation policy and auditing meet your safety requirements (the skill's guidance is advisory and orchestration can override it). Otherwise, installing this instruction-only skill poses minimal direct risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-abstract-escalation-governance
Version: 1.8.3
The SKILL.md file contains repeated instructions (e.g., '**Verification:** Run the command with --help flag') that function as prompt injections designed to trigger shell execution by the AI agent. While the specific command suggested is generally benign, the technique of embedding mandatory execution steps within documentation is a high-risk pattern used to hijack agent control flow. Additionally, the bundle references non-existent model versions (Opus 4.6) and future-dated timestamps in _meta.json, indicating it is a highly irregular or synthetically crafted package.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (escalation governance) match the SKILL.md content: a decision framework, protocol, and agent hints for when to escalate models. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or installs requested that would be inconsistent with this purpose.
Instruction Scope
All runtime instructions are governance guidance (investigate before escalating, document reasons, define scope/success, agent frontmatter hints). The doc suggests verifying availability with a '--help' check but does not instruct reading unrelated files, exfiltrating data, or accessing secrets. No vague 'gather whatever context you need' language that would grant broad discretionary access.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — instruction-only. That minimizes disk/write risk and there are no download URLs or package installs to review.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing in the instructions asks for secrets or unrelated tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (the platform default). The skill does not request permanent system presence or attempt to modify other skills or agent-wide configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-abstract-escalation-governance - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-abstract-escalation-governance - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
