# True Seeing

Pierce through abstraction, spin, and obfuscation to surface ground truth.

## Overview

True Seeing is interpreted here as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical source: True Seeing (spell)

Provider target: OpenClaw

## When To Use

- A claim, document, or system description feels too clean and you suspect important details are hidden or glossed over.
- You need to verify what something actually does versus what it says it does.
- Abstraction layers, marketing language, or organizational complexity are obscuring the real state of affairs.

## Workflow

1. Identify the claim, abstraction, or presentation to examine.
2. Trace through to primary sources, actual behavior, raw data, or ground-level implementation.
3. Compare the surface presentation against the discovered ground truth.
4. Return the discrepancies, confirmed truths, and remaining uncertainties.

## Deliverables

- A ground-truth assessment comparing claims against evidence.
- A list of confirmed facts, identified discrepancies, and unresolvable unknowns.
- A recommendation on which claims to trust and which to investigate further.

## Guardrails

- Do not present your own interpretation as objective truth — show the evidence chain.
- Acknowledge when ground truth is genuinely unknowable rather than forcing a conclusion.

## Default Invocation

Use $true-seeing to look past the surface of this situation and tell me what is actually true, what is spin, and what we cannot yet know.
