BD gateway-watchdog

Windows background watchdog for the OpenClaw Gateway: 5s health checks, auto-restart on crash, hidden no-window operation, tray status icon, and a maintenance lock that keeps repairs (doctor --fix) from racing the watchdog.

How to improve

  1. For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning description-long-hermes description is 223 chars; the Hermes authoring standard requires ≤ 60 (one sentence, ending with a period)
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: scripts/run_gateway_silent.vbs

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: scripts/run_gateway_silent.vbs
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: scripts/run_gateway_silent.vbs
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (gateway-watchdog) differs from the folder (scripts)
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Steps. 18 steps
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1087 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.

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
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 223: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 12 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 18 items
  • +4Has examples (3 code blocks)
  • +3All 4 scripts are documented
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 76.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This is a disclosed hidden Windows watchdog, but it needs review because its admin installer can kill unrelated processes and its background watchdog can run automatic repair commands.
