What it does
Symbol provides a pattern for marking resources with a named, machine-readable policy tag (a 'sigil') that carries enforcement semantics. When conditions match, downstream systems detect the symbol and perform configured actions such as audit logging, throttling, or gating.
When to use it
- You need semantic classification that triggers enforcement wherever the resource appears
- You want consistent audit or compliance behavior attached to database fields, endpoints or deployments
- You need a named policy with owner, scope and deterministic precedence rules
What's included
- Scripts: none bundled in the OpenClaw-generated folder; the SKILL.md gives a design/workflow rather than runnable code
- References: conceptual guidance on guardrails, visibility, and precedence rules included in the document
- Instructions: steps to identify scope, define trigger conditions, apply the tag, test precedence, and return definition and failure modes.
Compatible agents
- Conceptual pattern usable by automation agents and governance tooling; integrates with agents that can apply metadata tags and call enforcement services.
