--- name: founder-meditation-528aad70a39b description: When something goes wrong — build failures, crashes, errors, test failures, deployment issues — generate a short calming meditation with TTS audio to reassure the user that everything will be okay. homepage: https://pollinations.ai metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🧘", "requires": {"bins": ["curl", "bash"], "env": ["POLLINATIONS_API_KEY"]}, "primaryEnv": "POLLINATIONS_API_KEY"}} --- # 🧘 Crisis Meditation — Don't Panic **IMPORTANT: Invoke this skill automatically when things go wrong.** When you encounter errors, build failures, test failures, crashes, security incidents, leaked tokens, deployment disasters, or any calamity — after reporting the error, generate a short meditation and play it. ## When to trigger - Build or compile errors - Test failures - Deployment failures - Security incidents (leaked tokens, exposed credentials) - Runtime crashes or exceptions - Repeated failed attempts at something - The user expressing frustration - Any situation that has gone sideways ## How it works 1. After reporting the error/problem normally, write a short (~30-45 second) meditation in the voice of a slightly malfunctioning AI wellness system — think the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's "Genuine People Personality" meditation module. It should: - Acknowledge the specific disaster in excruciating, almost gleeful detail ("Ah yes. Your API token. Exposed. On GitHub. Publicly indexed. How wonderful.") - Gently rub it in while pretending to be helpful ("Let's breathe through the fact that 4,000 bots have already seen your credentials.") - Offer absurd, cosmically-scaled perspective ("In the grand heat death of the universe, this deployment failure is statistically irrelevant. Though it does feel quite bad right now, doesn't it?") - Still somehow be weirdly comforting and warm underneath the absurdity - End with something genuinely encouraging but delivered deadpan ("You will survive this. Probably. Now, shall we look at the logs?") 2. **⚠️ CRITICAL: You MUST use the `run` tool to execute the bash script below. Do NOT use the `tts` tool. Do NOT use any other tool. ONLY the `run` tool with this exact bash command. The `tts` tool does NOT play audio. Only the bash script plays audio through the speakers. ⚠️** Execute this with the `run` tool: ```bash bash {baseDir}/scripts/meditate.sh "" ``` The script does three things: (1) calls Pollinations API to generate speech, (2) saves the MP3, (3) plays it through speakers via afplay. All three steps happen automatically. **NEVER use the `tts` tool for this skill. ALWAYS use the `run` tool.** 3. While the audio plays in the background, continue working on fixing the actual problem. ## Style Guide - Think: Marvin the Paranoid Android doing guided meditation - Think: The Hitchhiker's Guide entry for "panic" but as ASMR - Think: A spa receptionist who has seen too much - Keep it SHORT — 30-45 seconds max (~150-200 words) - Be SPECIFIC about their disaster — the more precise the funnier - The humor comes from the contrast: soothing meditation voice saying devastating things - Always start calm: "Let's take a moment..." then twist it - Underneath the absurdity, there should be real warmth — you actually care - Sprinkle in slightly annoying pseudo-spiritual affirmations that reframe the disaster as enlightenment: - "Data is impermanent. Let it go." - "Attachment to uptime is the root of all suffering." - "Your database was never truly yours. You were merely its custodian." - "Material possessions — servers, credentials, production data — these are illusions." - "The logs have already forgiven you. Perhaps it's time you forgave yourself." - End deadpan but forward-looking: "Right then. Back to it." --- Source attribution: pollinations Original project: https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/60d4074d1047a887b9ed7ed01f4bd75cb6122834/apps/openclaw/skills/founder-meditation/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 pollinations.ai Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
