What This Skill Does

Thought Mining (thought-mining) acts as a specialized AI writing consultant designed to bridge the gap between abstract ideas and structured content. Instead of serving as a simple outline generator, this skill employs a five-stage conversational framework: Thought Mining, Topic Selection, Fact Verification, Writing Assistance, and Final Review. It helps users unpack disorganized thoughts, identify the core 'soul' of their message, verify facts via web search, and refine their writing style to ensure logical consistency and clarity. Whether you are battling writer's block, struggling with scattered logic, or seeking to validate your arguments before publishing, this skill serves as your cognitive partner.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brojc/thought-mining

Use Cases

• Overcoming Writer's Block: Ideal for users who possess strong concepts but feel overwhelmed when starting to write.
• Content Structuring: Assists in organizing disjointed, free-flowing ideas into a coherent article framework with clear priorities.
• Opinion Validation: Provides a secondary check for fact-checking and logical coherence to prevent embarrassing inaccuracies.
• Creative Refinement: Enhances draft quality by identifying 'gold sentences,' improving transitions, and adjusting the rhythmic flow of the text.

Example Prompts

• "Thought-mining: I have a lot of random notes about remote work trends, but I can't seem to find a strong angle to turn them into an article."
• "I'm trying to write a blog post about artificial intelligence ethics, but my logic feels messy. Can you help me reorganize my points?"
• "I've written a draft on productivity, but I'm not sure if my arguments are too subjective. Can we do a fact-check and logical review?"

Tips & Limitations

• Focus on Flow: Do not rush the process; allow the AI to guide you through the stages sequentially. The quality of the final outline depends on the depth of the initial brainstorming stage.
• Human Agency: Remember that the AI provides recommendations and options, but you remain the final decision-maker regarding the tone and message.
• Context Handling: Keep your responses specific to the stage of the workflow. During 'Stage 1: Thought Mining,' do not worry about grammar or structure; focus entirely on outputting ideas.
• Adaptability: Use the 'Advanced Techniques' section to customize the interaction based on whether you are writing an opinion piece, a tutorial, or a narrative story.
