Description
Guides through idea validation frameworks and discovery interviews. Use when someone wants help validating a startup idea, testing demand, or doing customer...
Usage Guidance
This skill is low-risk and coherent with its stated purpose. Before using: avoid pasting sensitive secrets or personally identifying customer data into the conversation; treat the skill's advice as guidance (verify legal, regulatory, or financial claims separately); be aware the skill may reference or link to external resources — review those links yourself. If you want to limit autonomous behavior, keep the skill user-invoked rather than relying on agent autonomy.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: startup-idea-validation
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a purely instructional framework for startup idea validation and customer discovery. It contains no executable code, and the instructions in SKILL.md are strictly aligned with its stated purpose, providing discovery questions and validation strategies without any signs of prompt injection, data exfiltration, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (idea validation, discovery interviews) align with the SKILL.md content and there are no unexpected binaries, env vars, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to asking discovery questions, producing validation plans, interview scripts, and recommended experiments. The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, or transmit user data to external endpoints. It cites external resources (URLs) for further reading, which is reasonable for this purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials, environment variables, or config paths. This is proportionate for an advisory/instruction skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no indications the skill modifies agent/system settings. Normal autonomous invocation is allowed by platform defaults but is not a special privilege here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install startup-idea-validation - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/startup-idea-validation - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
