generated/openclaw/find-the-path/SKILL.md
In D&D, Find the Path reveals the shortest route to a destination, even through mazes and across planes. The real-world version is wayfinding through complexity: navigating a sprawling codebase to find where a change should go, plotting the fastest path through a bureaucratic process, mapping the decision tree to get from current state to desired state, or finding the critical path through a project dependency graph.

Find the Path
Find the shortest, safest route to a destination through a complex space.
Overview
Find the Path is interpreted here as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical source: Find the Path (spell)
Provider target: OpenClaw
When To Use
- You know where you want to end up but the path through the system, process, or codebase is unclear.
- A project has tangled dependencies and you need to find the critical path or the right order of operations.
- You need to navigate a complex process — regulatory, bureaucratic, or organizational — and want the most direct route.
Workflow
- Define the destination: what does 'done' look like? Be specific.
- Map the terrain: what are the major obstacles, dependencies, and decision points between here and there?
- Find the shortest viable path: not the most thorough, not the most cautious — the shortest one that actually works.
- Identify the single biggest risk on the path and a fallback if it is blocked.
- Deliver turn-by-turn directions: the ordered sequence of steps from here to the destination.
Deliverables
- A step-by-step path from current state to destination, in execution order.
- The critical dependency or risk on the path — the one thing most likely to block progress.
- An alternate route if the primary path is blocked.
Guardrails
- The shortest path is not always the best path. Flag when a faster route has significantly higher risk than a slightly longer one.
- Do not confuse the path with the destination. Find the Path gives directions, not guarantees of arrival.
Default Invocation
Use $find-the-path to map the route from where I am now to this [goal/destination/state]. Give me turn-by-turn steps and flag the biggest risk.

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.
