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).
As a process C 54/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
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.

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.
