Description
A couples relationship coach grounded in IFS (Internal Family Systems), Emotionally Focused Therapy (Hold Me Tight), and honest communication. Use this skill...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says, but before installing consider: 1) Privacy: the skill stores sensitive relationship notes in profiles/ inside the agent workspace — confirm where that workspace is stored (local disk, cloud backup, logs) and who can access it. 2) Data retention: decide retention, backup, and deletion policies for these files and whether they should be encrypted. 3) Review the full SKILL.md end-of-session 'learning check' (it was truncated here) to ensure it doesn't send data elsewhere or call external endpoints. 4) Consent: if you will use this with a partner, get informed consent to store their personal information. 5) Safety: the skill appropriately calls out safety/abuse as an exception; have a plan for directing users to professional help and emergency resources when risk is present. 6) If you need stronger guarantees, ask the publisher for a privacy statement or host the workspace in a storage location you control. Overall the skill is internally consistent and coherent with its stated purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: relationship-coach
Version: 1.0.0
The 'relationship-coach' skill bundle is a well-structured set of instructions and reference materials designed to guide an AI agent in providing relationship counseling based on established psychological frameworks (IFS, EFT, and NVC). The skill utilizes local file storage within the agent's workspace (e.g., the 'profiles/' directory) to maintain state and session history, which is standard behavior for OpenClaw agents. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized command execution; notably, the 'SKILL.md' file includes explicit instructions to maintain privacy between individual and shared communication channels, serving as a safeguard rather than a vulnerability.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with what the skill actually does: guided coaching using IFS/EFT/NVC. It requires no binaries, no environment variables, and no external credentials. The instruction to create and use profiles/golden/agreements files in the agent workspace is appropriate and proportionate for a coaching tool that keeps session notes and personalized resources.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to asking the agent to load provided reference docs, guide users through structured conversations, and create/read/write files under a profiles/ directory in the agent workspace. That scope is consistent with the stated purpose. Note: the SKILL.md references a 'learning check' to run at the end of each session but the visible content was truncated — you should review the full learning-check instructions before installing to ensure it doesn't ask for unexpected external calls or data exfiltration.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files executed. That is the lowest-risk install mechanism and matches the skill's purpose.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. That is proportional for a relationship coach. The only persistent access requested is to write/read files inside the agent workspace (profiles and resources), which is expected but relevant to privacy (see guidance).
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal autonomous invocation settings are used. The main persistence concern is that the skill instructs the agent to create and maintain profiles/ and other files containing highly sensitive personal/relationship information in the agent workspace. This is expected for the feature but worth considering given data-retention and access policies.
