Erp Skill Research

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This is an instruction-only OCD ERP support skill with clear safety disclaimers, but users should treat any therapy answers, reminders, and progress records as sensitive.

This skill appears benign from the provided artifacts: it is instruction-only, has no code or install mechanism, and includes safety boundaries. Before using it, remember that ERP details, crisis-screening answers, and progress notes can be highly sensitive. Use it as self-help support only, confirm any reminders you set, and seek professional or emergency help if symptoms are severe or worsening.

Findings (4)

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

The user may disclose very sensitive health information while using the skill.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally collects sensitive mental-health and crisis-screening information. This is purpose-aligned, but users should understand that these responses may remain in chat history or progress records.

Skill content
Ask the user to confirm each item... Are you currently experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm?... Do you have untreated PTSD or recent trauma... How would you rate your depression right now (0-10)?
Recommendation

Use only in a trusted environment, avoid sharing unnecessary personal details, and understand how OpenClaw stores or retains chat history before using progress tracking.

What this means

Future sessions may rely on stored or summarized personal therapy history.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed to record and reuse therapy progress over time. That is expected for ERP support, but it creates persistent sensitive mental-health context.

Skill content
- Debrief after a session and record progress
- Track longitudinal progress across sessions
Recommendation

Review any saved progress notes for accuracy and privacy, and delete or avoid storing information you do not want retained.

What this means

The agent may prompt the user during or after ERP sessions if reminders are enabled.

Why it was flagged

The skill contemplates timed reminders or follow-up behavior. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it is a form of ongoing agent activity the user should explicitly control.

Skill content
automated check-in reminders... Set up timed anxiety / willingness check-in reminders
Recommendation

Only set reminders intentionally, confirm timing and frequency, and cancel them when they are no longer wanted.

What this means

A user might overestimate the AI's clinical competence if they focus on the evidence-based framing and miss the limitations.

Why it was flagged

The skill uses authoritative clinical framing. The same artifact also says it is not a therapist and provides crisis boundaries, so this is a notice rather than a concern.

Skill content
ERP is the first-line psychotherapy for OCD... current evidence-based standard — adapted for self-directed use with AI coaching
Recommendation

Treat this as self-help support, not professional diagnosis or therapy, and seek professional care for severe symptoms, crisis, trauma, medication questions, or worsening condition.
