README (SKILL.md)
Blue/Green Deployer
This skill provides a structured pre-production testing workflow for OpenClaw configuration changes using a Blue/Green deployment pattern.
Workflow
1. Setup the Green Environment
Initialize the testing area by creating the Green configuration from your current Blue master.
- Command:
bash \x3Cskill-path>/scripts/deploy.sh
2. Experiment
Modify the files within the green configuration folder or the openclaw.json.green file directly using your preferred editor.
3. Audit and Validate
Verify that the changes in the Green environment are valid and do not break the OpenClaw service.
- Step A: Check JSON syntax:
jq empty openclaw.json.green - Step B: Run the deployment script to perform the symlink-based validation check.
4. Promote or Rollback
- To Promote: If the audit passes, the
deploy.shscript will automatically promote the Green configuration to Blue. - To Rollback: If the audit fails, the
deploy.sh(or manual action) will revert the Blue configuration to its previous state using the.bakfile.
Troubleshooting
- Validation Error: If the script reports a failure, check the
openclaw.json.greenfile for syntax errors (missing commas, brackets) or invalid keys. - Manual Check: Always use
openclaw statusafter any deployment to ensure the live service is operational.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says, but it modifies your live OpenClaw config files. Before installing or running: (1) review scripts/deploy.sh yourself to confirm behavior; (2) ensure you trust the `openclaw` binary on your system (the script runs `openclaw status`); (3) take an independent backup of $HOME/.openclaw/openclaw.json in case of failures; (4) test the workflow on a non-production account or copy of your config; (5) note SKILL.md mentions using `jq` for validation but the included script does not call it — run `jq empty openclaw.json.green` manually if you want stricter JSON checks; and (6) consider restricting autonomous invocation if you don't want the agent to run the deployment script without explicit approval.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: blue-green-deployer
Version: 2.0.0
The skill provides a legitimate utility for managing OpenClaw configuration changes using a Blue/Green deployment pattern. The 'scripts/deploy.sh' script implements a structured workflow for backing up, testing, and promoting configuration files within the '$HOME/.openclaw/' directory, using 'openclaw status' for validation. No indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution were found.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description claim a Blue/Green deployer for OpenClaw; the provided script implements that behavior (copies, backups, creates symlinks, runs `openclaw status`, promotes or restores). Required files and actions are proportional to the purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included deploy.sh and using jq for validation; the script itself operates only on $HOME/.openclaw/*. It does remove and recreate the live config file (via symlink and cp) which is expected but potentially disruptive if run on a production host without testing. SKILL.md lists `jq` validation steps that are not invoked by the script (you must run them manually if desired).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with an included shell script and no install spec — nothing is downloaded or installed by the skill itself, minimizing install-time risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials and only touches $HOME/.openclaw config files. The dependency list mentions `jq` but the script does not call it; `openclaw` is used and is a reasonable dependency given the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not change other skills or global settings. It does modify files under the user's OpenClaw configuration, so the agent running the skill must be trusted to perform filesystem operations on that path. The platform default allowing autonomous invocation means the agent could run this script without explicit user action — consider invocation policy if that matters.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install blue-green-deployer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/blue-green-deployer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.0.0
Blue-green-deployer 2.0.0 is a significant update introducing versioning and dependency metadata.
- Added explicit `version` and `dependencies` fields to SKILL.md for improved clarity and reproducibility.
- Declared dependencies on `openclaw` and `jq` in the documentation.
- Corrected minor documentation issues (e.g., file naming typo: `open:openclaw.json.green` → `openclaw.json.green`).
- No changes to the documented deployment script workflow.
v1.0.0
Initial release of the Blue/Green deployment skill.
