document-first-principle

What This Skill Does

The document-first-principle skill acts as an authoritative governance module for the OpenClaw AI agent. Its primary function is to enforce a rigorous 'documentation-first' workflow whenever the agent is tasked with modifying its internal settings or system configurations. By integrating this skill, the agent becomes programmed to treat the official documentation at https://docs.openclaw.ai/ as the single source of truth. It effectively prevents the agent from making experimental or 'hallucinated' configuration changes by mandating a structured process: locate relevant documentation, analyze the parameters, and execute changes only within the safety bounds established by the official technical references.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/crazypeace/document-first-principle Ensure that you have appropriate permissions to modify agent skill sets before execution.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for production environments where system stability is paramount. It is specifically designed for:

1. Configuring complex environment variables for OpenClaw clusters.
2. Updating security or access control lists within the agent's core.
3. Modifying internal processing logic that requires strict compliance with upstream API definitions.

Example Prompts

1. "Before you update the memory allocation settings for our instance, please use the document-first-principle skill to check the official guidelines on heap sizing."
2. "I need to adjust the authentication protocol for the agent; please consult the documentation via the document-first-principle workflow before applying any changes."
3. "Verify the correct schema for the new integration module by referencing the official docs before you proceed with the configuration."

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Pair this skill with monitoring tools to ensure that after the documentation-guided changes are applied, the agent verifies functionality through health check endpoints.
• Limitation: The efficacy of this skill is highly dependent on the quality and completeness of the official documentation. If the documentation at https://docs.openclaw.ai/ is outdated or missing information, the skill cannot guarantee successful configuration results. It does not replace human oversight for critical system architecture changes.
