AD openclaw-verified-upgrade
Use when upgrading OpenClaw or recovering from partial updates, gateway failures, migrations, service drift, channel failures, or version mismatch.
Treat each upgrade as one evidence-backed transaction.
As a process D 49/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
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 49/100
- 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. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (openclaw-verified-upgrade) differs from the folder (upgrade-openclaw-safely)
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 31 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2101 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (16 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +4No input/output examples
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 147: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 12 headings

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 80.
