CC tide-watch
Proactive session capacity monitoring and management for OpenClaw. Prevents context window lockups by warning at configurable thresholds (75%, 85%, 90%, 95%), automatically backing up sessions before resets, and managing session resumption prompts. Use when working on long-running projects, managing multiple conversation channels (Discord, Telegram, webchat), or preventing lost work from full context windows. Includes CLI tools for capacity checks, cross-session dashboards, archive management, and session resumption. Supports any model or provider.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
