What it does

Light is an agent skill from Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts. Use this cantrip when a system, process, or codebase has blind spots that need illumination - not detection of hidden things, but creation of visibility where none exists.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Unofficial Hermes Agent skill pack built from fantasy spell and skill names. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/light”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Give 3 to 6 steps.
  2. the dark area
  3. the chosen artifact
  4. where it should live
  5. how to read it
  6. freshness qualification if relevant
  7. If relevant, include an exact artifact example
  8. a structured log line

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f2e6a0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Light loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~566

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Light

Add observability, logging, documentation, or explanation to dark areas of a system.

Overview

Light is interpreted here as a hybrid spell with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical source: Light (spell)

Provider target: OpenClaw

When To Use

  • A process runs with no logging, metrics, or visibility into its internal state.
  • A codebase or system has undocumented areas that block understanding.
  • You need to add explanation, annotation, or observability to something opaque.
  • You have smart lights connected via Home Assistant and want to control them with natural language.

Workflow

  1. Give 3 to 6 steps.
  2. the dark area
  3. the chosen artifact
  4. where it should live
  5. how to read it
  6. freshness qualification if relevant
  7. If relevant, include an exact artifact example:
  8. a structured log line

Deliverables

  • List the concrete artifact(s) created.
  • Name where operators check them.
  • Include what remains dark exactly.
  • For logging tasks, say structured log line explicitly.
  • For documentation tasks, say runbook note, README paragraph, or stdout line explicitly.
  • For status tasks, say status note, heartbeat, or metric explicitly.

Guardrails

  • Keep this section visible and explicit.
  • It must say that Light illuminates and does not judge.
  • It must say observation must stay within authorized surfaces.
  • It must include one sentence about false positive.
  • It must include one sentence about false negative.
  • It must include one sentence about stale, timestamp, last seen, or privacy.
  • It must reject over-instrumentation, unsolicited refactors, covert monitoring, and root-cause overclaiming.
  • Useful guardrail patterns:
  • A false positive here would be...
  • A false negative remains possible if...

Default Invocation

Use $light to illuminate this area with the minimum logging, docs, or observability it needs.
