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.
The agent may add analysis, assumptions, and verification steps before giving a direct answer on complex tasks.
This instruction intentionally changes the agent's response flow by requiring structured analysis before direct answers. It is consistent with the skill's reasoning purpose and is not hidden.
<HARD-GATE> Do NOT propose a solution, recommend a technology, or start writing code until:
Use this skill when you want structured reasoning; for simple tasks, explicitly ask the agent to skip first-principles analysis or go straight to implementation.
If a user pastes sensitive or stale ledger content, it could influence the conversation or expose private details in chat.
The skill uses user-pasted ledgers and prior notes as reasoning context, which can influence later answers. The artifact bounds this to manual copy/paste and says there is no automatic persistence.
carry reasoning context across turns by pasting prior notes into the conversation. This package does not include any helper program or automatic state mechanism.
Do not paste secrets, regulated data, or confidential business facts into ledgers, and re-check imported claims before relying on them.
