generated/openclaw/blindness-deafness/SKILL.md
In D&D, Blindness/Deafness selectively removes one sense — the target can still act but loses critical awareness. The real-world version is selective channel muting: blocking a process from seeing certain inputs (input filtering, API response redaction), deafening it to specific signals (suppressing webhooks, ignoring certain event streams), or cutting telemetry so a system operates without awareness of a specific data source. Unlike containment (forcecage) which restricts everything, Blindness/Deafness surgically removes one information channel while leaving the rest intact.

- In D&D, Blindness/Deafness selectively removes one sense — the target can still act but loses critical awareness.

Blindness/Deafness
Cut a system's eyes or ears — let it run, but blind to specific inputs or deaf to specific signals.
Overview
Blindness/Deafness is interpreted here as a literal spell with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical source: Blindness/Deafness (spell)
Provider target: OpenClaw
When To Use
- A process should keep running, but one input, signal, or telemetry source needs to be removed from its awareness.
- You need to suppress a specific webhook, event stream, API field, or sensor channel without containing the whole system.
- You want to test or control behavior under selective sensory loss rather than full isolation.
Workflow
- Identify the exact channel to mute and the decisions the system currently makes from it.
- Verify the channel is not safety-critical or load-bearing for core correctness.
- Choose the muting mechanism: input filtering, response redaction, event suppression, or telemetry cutoff.
- Define restoration triggers, operators, and monitoring so everyone knows the system is partially blind or deaf.
- Return the channel-muting plan with expected behavioral changes and rollback steps.
Deliverables
- A selective channel-muting plan naming exactly what input, signal, or telemetry was removed.
- A dependency note explaining what decisions will proceed without that awareness channel.
- Restoration triggers, rollback steps, and operator-facing documentation.
Guardrails
- Muting a channel the system needs for safety decisions is dangerous. Verify the blinded input is not load-bearing before cutting it.
- Always document what was muted and set a restoration trigger. A system that forgets it is blind will make confident wrong decisions.
Default Invocation
Use $blindness-deafness to selectively blind or deafen this system to one input, signal, or telemetry source while keeping the rest of it running safely.

The bard's cantrip that deals psychic damage through insults. In practice this is adversarial review — the art of finding and articulating exactly what is wrong with something in a way that is impossible to ignore. Unlike polite feedback that gets filed and forgotten, vicious mockery lands. It is the red-team report that makes the PM cancel the launch, the code review that makes the author delete the PR, the roast that makes the founder pivot. The damage is the point.

Use this spell for preflight certainty: dry runs, validation checks, dependency verification, and rehearsals that make the next deploy, query, or command much more likely to succeed. It trades a little time up front for fewer blind swings and fewer expensive misses.
