BF personal-hooks
Structured continuity and follow-up skill for OpenClaw agents. Use when an agent needs to decide whether natural user dialogue should stay as casual chat, become staged memory, or become tracked follow-up with carryover, closure, cooldown, sleep/rest suppress, routine-aware wording, quiet-hours behavior, traceability, and release-grade frontstage safety guards. This package is not a generic cron sender. It uses context, causal state, and explicit lifecycle rules to decide whether care or follow-up should appear at all. It covers parked topics, watchful states, delegated tasks, sensitive events, candidate to incident to hook flow, /new carryover, deterministic onboarding/guided settings, and time-aware continuity guards. It does not include always-on idle/social nudging as a default feature.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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.
