Firstprinciples thinking

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent local reasoning skill, with the main thing to notice being that its optional helper scripts can save problem analyses locally for later reuse.

This skill looks safe for normal reasoning use. If you run its helper scripts, remember that your problem statements and derived analyses can be saved locally under the OpenClaw workspace, so avoid secrets or delete the saved memory if you do not want long-term retention.

Findings (2)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

A user might expect only prompt instructions, but the package also includes optional local scripts.

Why it was flagged

The metadata frames the skill as having no install mechanism while the package still contains helper code. The code is disclosed and appears benign, but the mismatch is worth noticing before invoking any scripts.

Skill content
No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill. ... 13 code file(s): scripts/analyze_problem.py ... scripts/lib/storage.py
Recommendation

Treat the scripts as optional helper utilities; review them before running and prefer using the SKILL.md-only behavior if you do not need saved local cases.

What this means

If you run the helper scripts with confidential strategy, business, product, or personal problems, those details may remain in local saved-case files.

Why it was flagged

The analysis helper stores the user-provided problem text as part of a saved case, creating persistent local memory that can later be listed, shown, scored, exported, or used for promoted patterns.

Skill content
"problem": args.text.strip(), ... data["cases"][case_id] = case
    save_cases(data)
Recommendation

Avoid entering secrets or highly sensitive details into saved cases unless local persistence is acceptable; periodically review or delete the local firstprinciples memory folder if needed.
