Overview
Locate Creature is interpreted here as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical source: Locate Creature (spell)
Provider target: OpenClaw
When To Use
- You need to find who is responsible for a specific system, decision, or process.
- A running service or active process needs to be located in a complex distributed environment.
- You need to track down the right person to talk to about a specific topic in a large organization.
Workflow
- Define the target: who or what are you looking for, and what characteristics identify them?
- Determine the search space: where could this entity be? Narrow the scope before searching broadly.
- Search using available signals: ownership records, commit history, org charts, service registries, process lists.
- Deliver the location with a confidence level and verification suggestion.
Deliverables
- The located entity: who/what it is and where it was found.
- The evidence trail: how we found it and how confident we are in the identification.
Guardrails
- Locate Creature finds entities through legitimate, observable channels. Do not attempt to track people through unauthorized surveillance.
- Clearly state confidence level. A likely match is not a confirmed identification.
Default Invocation
Use $locate-creature to find this [person/service/process] in [the organization/system/environment]. Who owns it and where is it?
