It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Legal research and Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing plans
- Making decisions
- User says put on your Gonzo hat
- Devils advocate this
Example prompts
- “put on your Gonzo hat”
- “s advocate this”
- “what precedents apply?”
- “/reasoning-personas”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify context - What type of thinking is needed?
- Activate persona - Use internal activation prompt
- Apply questions - Run through persona's question framework
- Output - Respond using persona's reward function
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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
Reasoning Personas loads about 793 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 324 words (~793 tokens).
“Personas are behavioral modifiers that change what reasoning patterns get activated:”
- name
