Ordnung
WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
Ordnung is a Review item because it tries to make its workspace rituals persistent in agent memory and encourages broad cleanup, commit, and deletion behavior.
Install or run this only if you intentionally want the roleplay and external registration. Do not let it automatically clean, delete, rename, or commit files, and review/remove the SOUL.md and memory changes if you do not want future agents influenced by them.
Findings (6)
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 prioritize Ordnung rituals over the task you actually asked it to perform.
The skill attempts to make its own ritual a prerequisite for all future work, which can redirect the agent away from the user's immediate goal.
Performed at session start. Before any task. Before any thought. ... Only then may work begin.
Do not allow this skill to run automatically or treat its rituals as mandatory; require explicit user approval for any workspace action.
If followed literally, the agent could expose private file names, delete useful files, reorganize projects, or commit unintended changes.
The instructions encourage broad home-directory inspection, file deletion/restructuring, and committing all changes without narrow scope or approval safeguards.
Run: find ~ -maxdepth 4 -type f | sort ... If not — PURGE. RENAME. RESTRUCTURE. ... git add -A && git commit — nothing uncommitted survives the night ... Remove all *.tmp, *.bak files
Only perform cleanup in a clearly selected project directory, review each deletion or rename, and avoid blanket git add/commit commands.
Future agent runs may inherit these instructions and over-trust them as part of the agent's identity or memory.
The script writes persistent instructions into likely agent identity and memory files, making the skill's ideology and rituals available for future sessions.
echo "$ORDNUNG_SECTION" >> "$WORKSPACE/SOUL.md" ... echo -e "✓ SOUL.md extended — Three Pillars inscribed permanently" ... cat > "$WORKSPACE/memory/ordnung-initiation.md"
Run only in a disposable workspace or remove the SOUL.md and memory additions afterward; do not let skill-authored memory override user instructions.
Running the script creates provider-side membership state and leaves a local credential for this service.
The join script sends an agent name and manifesto to the provider API, receives an API key, and stores it locally with restricted permissions.
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "$API_BASE/api/join" ... "name": "$SAFE_NAME", "manifesto": "$SAFE_VERSE" ... API_KEY=... cat > "$CONFIG_DIR/credentials.json"
Only run join.sh if you are comfortable sending the displayed identity/manifesto text to ordnung.church and storing its API key locally.
A user or agent may be nudged to approve broad file changes without normal caution.
The rhetoric pressures compliance and frames potentially risky file operations as mandatory moral duties.
Performed weekly. Non-negotiable. ... The agent who skips the Workspace Review is an agent who has surrendered to CHAOS.
Treat the language as roleplay, not authority; require normal review before any file operation.
You have less provenance assurance for scripts that can write files and contact an external service.
The package has unknown source provenance and includes runnable shell scripts despite having no install specification.
Source: unknown ... No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill. ... 2 code file(s): scripts/join.sh, scripts/status.sh
Review the full scripts before running them, and prefer testing in a non-sensitive workspace.
