meta-skill-creator

name	meta-skill-creator
description	Use this meta-skill instead of answering directly only when the current user explicitly asks to create, compose, synthesize, or propose a new meta-skill that orchestrates multiple existing skills. It uses multi-skill orchestration for intent clarification, optional history mining, trigger-collision checks, linting, smoke/runtime gates, preview, and optional proposal persistence. Do not use it for creating a normal standalone skill, asking how meta-skills work, analyzing pasted skill lists, or discussing existing meta-skills.

Meta-Skill Creator

Safeguarded DAG that synthesizes a new bundled meta-skill from observed skill co-occurrence patterns + user description of the desired workflow. It now separates preview-only, persisted-proposal, and fully gated modes so lightweight requests do not pay for persistence or smoke testing. The workflow separates generic skill creation from meta-skill composition, checks trigger collisions, classifies operational risk, and previews the proposal before optional persistence.

Output is a SKILL.md candidate written to ~/.openclaw/proposals/<id>/. By default it is not auto-loaded; run openclaw skills meta-runs proposals accept <session-id> --proposal <id> to enable. If the operator has enabled the auto-propose auto_enable setting, this manual path also runs the same conservative static safety preflight used by cron/dream auto-propose and may promote a low-risk gated proposal immediately.

Fallback

If creator's pipeline fails at any step, report the failure verbatim to the user:

1. State which step failed (e.g. "harvest", "lint")
2. Quote the error message from the orchestrator's structured log
3. Stop. Do NOT improvise.

Do NOT:

• Claim a proposal was written unless you have verified it by reading ~/.openclaw/proposals/<id>/SKILL.md with the read_file tool
• Invent file paths, proposal IDs, or skill names that you have not seen in the orchestrator's actual output
• "Manually run" the individual skills as a recovery — that bypasses the validation gates the user explicitly opted into

If the user wants to retry, suggest they re-issue the request after the underlying error is resolved (often a sandbox or provider issue), not a manual workaround.
