Coaching

Coaching practice support with session preparation, question generation, client progress tracking, and goal setting. Use when user mentions coaching sessions...

Security Scan

The skill's stated coaching capabilities mostly match the single included script, but the SKILL.md references many missing scripts/files and some vague behaviors (e.g., 'send between-session support') — this mismatch should be resolved before trusting it with confidential client data.

Purpose & Capability

The description promises session prep, question generation, progress tracking, goal setting, and between-session messaging. Only one script (scripts/prep_session.py) is included. SKILL.md lists many other scripts and reference docs that are not present, so the package does not deliver the advertised capabilities.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions direct the agent to run many scripts (generate_questions.py, track_progress.py, set_goal.py, between_sessions.py, etc.) and reference multiple docs, but those files are missing. The SKILL.md claims 'Send between-session support' which could imply outbound messaging, but no code for outbound communication exists in the provided files. The included script operates only on local files and prints output — it does not exfiltrate data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec (instruction-only plus one script). Nothing is downloaded or written by an installer; lowest risk from installation mechanism.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or external endpoints are requested. The included script reads per-client JSON files under ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/coaching, which aligns with the declared local-only storage policy.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated privileges. It does not modify other skills or global agent settings. The script reads local files only and does not autonomously invoke network access in its current form.

What to consider before installing

Do not install or use this skill for confidential client data until the missing pieces are resolved. Specifically: - Ask the publisher for the missing scripts and reference docs listed in SKILL.md and confirm their behavior (generate_questions.py, track_progress.py, between_sessions.py, etc.). - Verify whether any of the missing scripts send messages or access network endpoints (the phrase 'Send between-session support' could imply external communication). If they do, confirm what credentials/endpoints they use and whether you approve. - Confirm where the skill will store data on your system (the code uses ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/coaching). Ensure that path and file permissions meet your confidentiality requirements. - If you proceed, run the skill in a sandbox or inspect the full code for all scripts to ensure there is no hidden network activity or unexpected file access. Consider backing up any existing data before first use. If the publisher provides the full source and it matches the local-only claims, the skill would be reasonable to use for coaching tasks; until then, the discrepancy is a red flag.

Coaching practice system. Transform every session.

Critical Privacy & Safety

Data Storage (CRITICAL)

• All client data stored locally only: memory/coaching/
• STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY - client information never shared
• No cross-client data mixing - complete isolation
• No external coaching platforms connected
• User controls all data retention and deletion

Safety Boundaries

• ✅ Prepare sessions and generate questions
• ✅ Track client progress and commitments
• ✅ Support goal setting with frameworks
• ✅ Provide between-session support
• ❌ NEVER share client information across contexts
• ❌ NEVER make client decisions
• ❌ NEVER replace coach judgment or intuition

Confidentiality Note

Coaching effectiveness depends on trust. This skill maintains strict confidentiality - no client data is ever shared, mixed, or exposed outside your local system.

Data Structure

Coaching data stored locally:

• memory/coaching/clients.json - Client records (isolated per client)
• memory/coaching/sessions.json - Session history and notes
• memory/coaching/goals.json - Client goals and progress
• memory/coaching/questions.json - Question libraries
• memory/coaching/commitments.json - Client commitments tracking

Core Workflows

Prepare Session

User: "Prep me for session with client John"
→ Use scripts/prep_session.py --client "John" --session 5
→ Summarize previous session, check commitments, generate tailored questions

Generate Questions

User: "Give me questions for exploring career transition"
→ Use scripts/generate_questions.py --topic "career-transition" --depth "deep"
→ Generate powerful questions calibrated to situation

Track Progress

User: "Show me Sarah's progress over the last 3 months"
→ Use scripts/track_progress.py --client "Sarah" --period "3months"
→ Display goals, session history, patterns, breakthroughs

Set Goal

User: "Help my client set a clear goal"
→ Use scripts/set_goal.py --client "Mike" --area "leadership"
→ Apply clarity, specificity, timeline, obstacles, support framework

Between Sessions

User: "Send between-session support to Lisa"
→ Use scripts/between_sessions.py --client "Lisa" --days 3
→ Provide reflection prompts, action reminders, preparation for next session
