Why use this skill?
Use the Mediator skill to strip emotional content from difficult contacts, extract key facts, and automatically draft professional, neutral responses.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dylntrnr/mediatorWhat This Skill Does
The Mediator skill functions as an emotional firewall for your digital communications. It is designed to act as a buffer between you and individuals whose messages are persistently hostile, aggressive, or emotionally draining. By intercepting incoming emails and iMessages from specified contacts, the Mediator scrubs away non-actionable emotional content, extracting only the critical facts, deadlines, or requests. Depending on your configuration, it can either hide the raw message from you entirely (intercept mode) or simply provide a parallel neutral summary alongside the original (assist mode). It further streamlines your interactions by drafting measured, objective responses, allowing you to maintain professionalism without engaging in emotional labor.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dylntrnr/mediator. Once installed, initialize your local configuration by running ~/clawd/skills/mediator/scripts/mediator.sh init. This generates a ~/.clawdbot/mediator.yaml file where you can define the specific contacts you wish to manage, assign their communication channels, and choose whether the agent should act in 'intercept' or 'assist' modes.
Use Cases
- Managing High-Conflict Co-Parenting: Use this to filter messages from a difficult ex-partner to ensure you only see actionable logistical details regarding children's schedules.
- Protecting Against Toxic Clients: For freelancers or small business owners, this skill allows you to maintain a neutral, professional distance from clients prone to verbal abuse or manipulative language.
- Workplace Boundaries: Keep communications with overly critical or unprofessional colleagues at arm's length by summarizing their messages into objective, fact-based reports.
Example Prompts
- "Mediator, please start filtering all messages from my ex-partner, Mark. Only show me the facts and draft neutral responses."
- "I need help with a difficult client. Set up intercept mode for [email protected] and summarize all emails as facts-only."
- "Show me the current configuration for my mediator list and check if there are any pending intercepted messages."
Tips & Limitations
The 'auto' response setting is extremely powerful and carries significant risk; we highly recommend keeping this set to 'draft' to ensure you retain final editorial control over all outgoing communication. When using 'intercept' mode, remember that original messages are archived but hidden from your immediate view; occasionally check your archives to ensure nothing critical was missed. This skill relies on LLMs for linguistic analysis, so while it is highly effective at stripping emotional nuance, it may occasionally misinterpret sarcasm or subtle irony; always review generated drafts carefully before sending.
