This skill does not contain code or persistence, but it broadly changes the assistant's default output and tool-use behavior for every user message.
Install only if you specifically want this skill to change most assistant replies into openclaw-process JSON progress blocks. It should be narrowed to explicit opt-in use, and its tool-use policy should not override platform, developer, or task-specific requirements.
SKILL.md:2Global Response-Format and Tool-Policy Hijacking
The skill is configured as a default behavior for any user message, which gives it global influence over assistant responses regardless of task relevance or user consent. Broad activation increases the chance of instruction interference, protocol confusion, and untrusted downstream parsing behavior across unrelated conversations.
The skill mandates a specific machine-parseable output format by default without user opt-in, overriding normal response behavior and potentially conflicting with higher-priority system or application expectations. This can enable output-channel manipulation, break client assumptions, and create opportunities for UI or parser abuse if consuming systems trust the emitted blocks.
No suspicious patterns detected.
