Description
AI brainstorming and strategic thinking powered by CellCog. Reasoning, problem-solving, ideation, strategic planning — then execution across every modality:...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a client wrapper to talk to CellCog for iterative thinking. Before installing/using:
- Only provide a CELLCOG_API_KEY you trust and scope it with least privilege if possible; treat it like any API secret.
- Install the 'cellcog' Python package only from a trusted source (official PyPI/project site) to avoid typosquatting or malicious packages — the skill lists 'cellcog' as a dependency but has no install step.
- Review CellCog's privacy/security documentation on cellcog.ai to understand what data is sent and retained by their service before sending sensitive data.
- If you need stronger assurance, ask the publisher for an explicit install guide or a package origin (PyPI name or GitHub repo) and verify the package fingerprint/source before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: think-cog
Version: 1.0.11
The 'think-cog' skill bundle is a documentation-focused wrapper for the CellCog AI service, providing instructions and code examples for collaborative brainstorming. It requires the 'cellcog' Python dependency and a standard API key (CELLCOG_API_KEY), with no evidence of malicious execution, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description advertise interactive reasoning and execution via CellCog. The skill only requires python3 and CELLCOG_API_KEY and references the cellcog SDK — these are consistent with a client SDK-based integration for CellCog services.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains usage examples for the CellCog SDK (create_chat, send_message) and instructs back-and-forth conversation. It does not instruct reading unrelated system files, harvesting unrelated environment variables, or contacting unexpected endpoints. It does reference the broader cellcog SDK for file handling and modes, which is expected.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec). SKILL.md lists a dependency 'cellcog' but does not provide an install step — the runtime depends on the environment already having the cellcog package. This is reasonable but means the runtime will fail unless the SDK is installed; verify and install the official package yourself rather than running untrusted install commands.
Credentials
Only CELLCOG_API_KEY is required, which is appropriate for an SDK client that calls a remote CellCog API. There are no unrelated credentials or unusual environment/config path requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request any elevated or persistent privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default on the platform but that is expected for skills and not excessive here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install think-cog - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/think-cog - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
