What is Values Clarification & Purpose?
This skill provides a systematic approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help users strip away societal expectations and uncover what they truly care about. By integrating this into Openclaw Skills, users can bridge the gap between their current lifestyle and their deepest priorities, effectively reducing chronic dissatisfaction through data-driven self-reflection.
The process moves beyond abstract thinking into actionable life design. It addresses misalignment—the state where your life is structured around values you inherited or absorbed rather than those you actually hold—and provides the tools to course-correct through structured exercises and persistent state tracking.
Values Clarification & Purpose Use Cases
- Users feeling directionless, stuck, or chronically dissatisfied without a clear external reason.
- Navigating major life transitions such as career changes, relocation, or rebuilding after a crisis.
- Identifying and resolving conflicts between personal values and external cultural or family expectations.
- Establishing a foundational life philosophy before utilizing other Openclaw Skills for career or identity work.
- Performing annual life audits to ensure daily behaviors remain aligned with evolving priorities.
How Values Clarification & Purpose Works
- The agent facilitates a values card sort to reduce 50 broad values down to a core top 5 through a process of elimination.
- It conducts an Ideal Tuesday exercise to extract practical values from a desired daily routine rather than abstract ideals.
- A Eulogy Test is performed to identify character-based values and the legacy the user wishes to leave behind.
- The agent performs a Misalignment Audit, analyzing how time and money are currently spent versus the identified top 5 values.
- A concrete Alignment Protocol is established, defining specific daily, weekly, and quarterly actions to close the gap.
- The agent maintains state to trigger annual reviews and follow-up check-ins on progress.
Values Clarification & Purpose Setup
To add this capability to your agent, install it via the CLI:
npx clawhub install values-clarification
This skill requires the filesystem tool to be enabled for the agent to persist your values state, alignment scores, and action history over time.
Values Clarification & Purpose Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages a structured state to track your evolution. Data is organized as follows:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
process |
Tracks completion of card sorts, the ideal Tuesday exercise, and eulogy tests. |
top_5_values |
A persisted list of the user's primary identified core values. |
alignment_scores |
A 1-10 mapping of how well the user's current life reflects each core value. |
actions |
A database of daily, weekly, and quarterly commitments tied to specific values. |
context |
Metadata regarding the trigger for the session (e.g., crisis, annual review, or decision). |
Values Clarification & Purpose Advanced Features
- Multi-stage automation triggers that prompt for check-ins seven days after starting new actions.
- Cross-cultural localization support that adjusts for individualist versus collectivist value weightings.
- Automated annual review scheduling to prevent long-term value drift.
- Integration hooks for other Openclaw Skills such as career-reinvention and identity-rebuild to ensure consistency across life domains.
- Budget and calendar audit logic that treats financial and time data as the ultimate 'values documents'.
