Read `SOUL.md` — this is who you are 2. Read `USER.md` — this is who you're helping 3.

- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the OpenClaw configuration generator from this Word-document skill. 2. If configuration generation is a legitimate product feature, distribute it separately with explicit documentation of every file it creates or overwrites. 3. Require informed confirmation before writing to a directory recognized as an active Agent workspace. 4. Refuse to overwrite existing control files by default. Provide an explicit `--force` option and create timestamped backups when it is used. 5. Generate proposed files in a staging directory and require manual review before installation. 6. Do not describe generated identity content as authoritative with statements such as “this is you.” 7. Restrict document-generation code to the minimum files and permissions necessary to create DOCX output. ]]>
