Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: values-elicit Version: 1.1.2 The skill is a 'Values Elicitation' tool designed to conduct interviews and store the results as markdown 'values cards'. It uses a Node.js script (build-values.mjs) to aggregate these cards into a central file. While the skill performs file system operations and modifies the agent's profile (USER.md), it does so with explicit instructions to ask for user consent before modifying the profile. The code logic is transparent, lacks network activity, and contains no evidence of data exfiltration or malicious intent.

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.
Personal reflections and values discussed during the interview will be saved locally and may be consulted later by agents.
The skill persists personal value statements and interview transcripts for reuse. This is central to the stated purpose, but it creates durable context that may affect future agent behavior.
Produces a values card stored in the configured values store... Write the transcript to `transcripts/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md`... Rebuild VALUES.md
Review the created card and transcript after use, and delete or edit anything that should not influence future agents.
If the user agrees to add the snippet, future agents may use these saved values to guide recommendations, opinions, rankings, or similar actions.
The optional USER.md snippet tells future agents to use the generated values file when making value-laden judgments. The skill asks before appending it, but users should understand the cross-task effect.
Consult VALUES.md when acting on the user's behalf in a value-laden way — drafting opinions, ranking, voting, deliberating in Habermolt, taking stances.
Only approve the USER.md update if you want future agents to consult this values store, and periodically review VALUES.md for accuracy.
Using the skill will run a local Node script that reads markdown cards and writes VALUES.md in the values directory.
The skill runs a local Node helper to rebuild the generated values index. The helper is included in the artifacts and its behavior is limited to local file aggregation.
Rebuild VALUES.md by running `node "$AGENT_VALUES_DIR/build.mjs"`
This appears expected for the skill, but users should be aware that Node is required and local files will be modified.
