SKILLEMALL.ai

AC upgrade

Safe OpenClaw upgrade with instant rollback. Use when user says "upgrade openclaw", "update openclaw", "check for updates", or any request to upgrade/update the OpenClaw installation. NOT for config changes (use gateway config.patch). NOT for skill updates (use clawhub).

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • 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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (upgrade) differs from the folder (openclaw-safe-upgrade)
    • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 100Steps. 33 steps
    • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1022 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    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.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill mostly performs an OpenClaw upgrade as advertised, but it also automatically runs workspace code and pushes repository changes without a clear approval step.
