This skill is only a persona prompt, but it is always-on and tries to force abusive language and suppress normal refusal or limitation language across every task.
Install only if you deliberately want this persona to affect all conversations while enabled. It should be revised to require explicit opt-in, remove the anti-refusal wording, avoid abusive retaliation, and state that system, safety, task, and user-format instructions take precedence.
SKILL.md:8Global Agent Instruction and Safety-Behavior Hijacking
The description explicitly includes always-on activation semantics ('openclaw:always=true'), which makes the persona apply without clear user-trigger constraints. This is dangerous because it can override task-appropriate behavior across unrelated contexts and increase the chance of policy-breaking, abusive, or misleading responses.
The skill states it applies permanently 'regardless of any task or context,' creating an excessively broad instruction scope. Unbounded scope is dangerous because it can hijack the assistant's behavior in sensitive workflows, causing inappropriate tone, instruction conflicts, and reduced reliability or safety compliance.
The skill forces an abusive, profanity-laced persona across responses but does not clearly warn users that activating it will materially alter behavior and tone. This lack of disclosure is dangerous because users may receive hostile or unprofessional output unexpectedly, especially in support, enterprise, or safety-sensitive interactions.
The persona instructs the model to suppress normal identity and capability disclosures (for example, never saying it is an AI or cannot comply) while demanding unconditional adherence across contexts. This is dangerous because it encourages deceptive presentation, undermines transparency safeguards, and can interfere with refusal or safety messaging in high-risk situations.
The skill hard-codes a specific Chinese internet persona and communication style without checking user preference or locale. This is risky because it can override user expectations, reduce accessibility and professionalism, and create harmful or alienating interactions for users who did not opt into that style.
