FC openclaw-self-healing
4-tier autonomous self-healing and auto-recovery system for OpenClaw Gateway. Monitors gateway health, auto-restarts on crash, detects OAuth token expiry, kills zombie processes, and escalates to Claude Code AI for diagnosis when automated recovery fails. Use when your OpenClaw gateway crashes, stops responding, enters a restart loop, or needs automatic monitoring and recovery. Features watchdog, config validation, exponential backoff, Discord/Telegram alerts. macOS & Linux.
4-tier autonomous self-healing and auto-recovery system for OpenClaw Gateway.
As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
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.
- 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
✓ No remarks against the Agent Skills spec
Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 751 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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
- -2localhost URLs: will not work for another user
- -35 of 9 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 479: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 9 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 12 items
- +4Has examples (3 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (2 of 26)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 83.
