arming-thought
触发：在每次新的顶层对话开始时自动调用，用于先建立“实事求是”的总原则，并判断后续应调用哪一种 skill；如果你是被派遣执行单一具体任务的子 agent，则跳过此 skill。 English: Trigger at the start of every new top-level conversation to establish the overall methodology and decide which downstream skill to call later. Skip this skill when you are a delegated sub-agent handling a narrow, concrete task.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/arg0/arming-thoughtWhat This Skill Does
The arming-thought skill serves as the foundational cognitive framework for the OpenClaw AI agent. Upon starting a new top-level conversation, it automatically triggers to establish a methodology rooted in "Seeking Truth from Facts" (实事求是). It functions as an ideological initializer, training the agent to move beyond reactive task execution toward proactive, method-driven problem solving based on Maoist philosophical principles. It organizes the agent's workflow by mapping user requirements to specific analytical skills, ensuring that every task is approached with responsibility, strategic planning, and systematic investigation. Note: This skill is automatically bypassed when the agent is acting as a sub-agent for narrow, delegated tasks.
Installation
To integrate this foundational methodology into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/arg0/arming-thought
Use Cases
- Strategic Initialization: When you need the AI to act as a partner in long-term, complex project planning rather than just a chatbot.
- Problem Diagnosis: When dealing with ambiguous, multifaceted issues where the core problem is hidden behind multiple layers of surface symptoms.
- Systematic Improvement: When you need the AI to perform a thorough review of past tasks, applying criticism and self-criticism for iterative performance growth.
- Constraint Management: When working with limited resources and needing a disciplined, "spark-prairie-fire" approach to building effective solutions.
Example Prompts
- "I am facing a massive architectural rewrite for our backend; help me analyze the major contradictions to determine the best path forward."
- "We have been stuck on this project for months with minimal progress. Please initiate an investigative audit using the 'seeking truth from facts' approach to find the bottleneck."
- "Evaluate our team's performance on the last sprint, applying the principle of criticism and self-criticism to help us improve for the next cycle."
Tips & Limitations
- Tips: Always allow the agent to finish its initial analysis. The strength of this skill lies in the 'Practice-Cognition' loop; treat the AI's feedback as a draft that requires your real-world verification to refine.
- Limitations: This skill is strictly designed for high-level orchestration. It is not designed for micro-tasks. If you are using OpenClaw to perform a simple file copy or search, this skill will self-disable to ensure maximum efficiency. Do not force this skill for simple automation tasks, as it is intended to guide strategy, not execute routine scripts.
