CF gateway-keeper
OS-level watchdog that monitors OpenClaw gateway health and auto-restarts on crash. After restart, triggers session recovery so interrupted work resumes automatically. Use when setting up gateway reliability, crash recovery, auto-restart, or watchdog monitoring for OpenClaw deployments. Supports Windows (Task Scheduler + PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (systemd/cron + bash). Triggers: "gateway-keeper", "watchdog", "gateway health", "auto-restart gateway", "crash recovery".

What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
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
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
- 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.
