OpenClaw Skill Lazy Loader
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill is coherent and low-risk, but it intentionally changes how your agent loads skill and memory context, so review the catalog and AGENTS.md changes before adopting it.
This appears safe to install as an instruction/template skill. Before adopting it, review the AGENTS.md and SKILLS.md changes, keep the skill catalog accurate, and avoid listing sensitive or unrelated files as loadable context.
Findings (3)
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.
If the SKILLS.md catalog is incomplete or a task is misclassified, the agent may proceed without relevant skill guidance.
This intentionally alters the agent's instruction-loading strategy. It is the skill's stated purpose, but it can affect which skill instructions are available during a task.
**At session start:** Read `SKILLS.md` only ... **Do NOT read all skill files at startup.** Load individual skills on demand.
Review the AGENTS.md changes before merging them, keep SKILLS.md complete, and manually tell the agent to load a skill when needed.
Stale or tampered catalog/memory entries could cause the agent to load the wrong context or expose more local memory context than intended.
The skill relies on persistent local catalog and memory files to decide what context the agent loads in future sessions.
At session start: Read this file only ... When you need a skill: Read the specific SKILL.md listed below ... `MEMORY.md` | Always
Treat SKILLS.md and MEMORY.md as trusted configuration, restrict who can edit them, and keep listed paths within the intended workspace.
Running the helper executes local code and reads SKILLS.md from the current directory, but the behavior is disclosed and scoped.
The skill includes an optional local Python helper command. The included source shows a simple stdlib-based recommendation tool, not network access or system modification.
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-skill-lazy-loader/context_optimizer.py recommend "your next task"
Run the helper only from the intended workspace and review SKILLS.md entries if recommendations look unexpected.
