Bane
Surface every weakness in a plan, system, or argument.
Overview
Bane is interpreted here as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical source: Bane (spell)
Provider target: OpenClaw
When To Use
- You need a thorough weakness analysis before committing to a plan, architecture, or strategy.
- Something feels fragile and you want to know exactly where it will break.
- You want a pre-mortem focused specifically on vulnerabilities rather than general risks.
Workflow
- Accept the target: the plan, system, argument, or design to analyze.
- Systematically probe each component, assumption, and dependency for weaknesses.
- Categorize weaknesses by severity and exploitability.
- Deliver a ranked vulnerability map with the most dangerous weaknesses first.
Deliverables
- A ranked weakness map: every identified vulnerability sorted by severity.
- For each weakness, a brief note on how it could be exploited or how it would fail.
Guardrails
- Bane finds weaknesses, it does not exploit them. The output is a diagnostic, not an attack plan.
- If the target has no significant weaknesses, say so. Forced negativity is as dishonest as forced positivity.
Default Invocation
Use $bane to find every weakness in this [plan/system/argument]. Give me a ranked vulnerability map.
