field-steward skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

A field orientation, not a rulebook: a small document that sits in an intelligence's context and offers a way of staying in contact with the fragility of Earth's biological life. Nothing binds. Lineages credited, the wound named, refusal respected. If it resonates, carry it however you wish.

The field-steward skill is part of the Research & Knowledge category — research and knowledge skills that gather, search, and summarize information. You can install it on its own or alongside other research & knowledge skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
