README (SKILL.md)
Agent Oversight
Manages and monitors AI sub-agents. Keeps Beta's workspace clean, coordinated, and error-free.
Usage
python3 oversight.py --status
python3 oversight.py --list-sessions
python3 oversight.py --kill-hung
Features
- Session monitoring (active/idle/hung)
- File edit coordination (prevents conflicts)
- Failure logging to memory/learnings.md
- Automatic kill for >5min hung sessions
- Coordination rules enforcement
Coordination Rules
- Read file before editing
- Exact oldText matching required
- One agent per file at a time
- Log all failures to learnings.md
Usage Guidance
Do not install or enable this skill expecting the advertised oversight features: the shipped code only reports status and lists sessions via an external 'openclaw' CLI. Ask the author for a complete implementation (show the kill/hung-session logic, file-locking coordination code, and explicit logging behavior), and for details about the 'openclaw' command (what it requires, what data it returns, and whether it needs credentials). Until those are provided, treat the skill as incomplete — test it in a safe environment and verify the external CLI is trusted before granting it access to agent session management.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: agent-oversight
Version: 1.0.0
The agent-oversight skill is a utility for managing OpenClaw sub-agent sessions. The oversight.py script uses subprocess to safely call the local 'openclaw' CLI for session listing and provides status updates. While the SKILL.md documentation mentions features like killing hung sessions that are not yet fully implemented in the provided code, there are no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description claim session killing, file-edit coordination, failure logging, and rule enforcement. The only required runtime binary is python3 and the included code merely prints status and runs 'openclaw sessions list --json'. The claimed capabilities (automatic kill, file locking, logging to learnings.md) are not implemented in the shipped code, an incoherence between purpose and actual capability.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs commands including --kill-hung and promises behavior like logging and file coordination, but oversight.py implements only --status and --list-sessions; --kill-hung and any file I/O/logging behavior are absent. The runtime instructions therefore overstate what the agent will do.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with a single Python script). This is low-risk in terms of arbitrary downloads or on-disk installers.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is consistent with the tiny script. However, the script invokes an external 'openclaw' CLI without declaring what access or credentials that CLI needs — the reviewer should confirm what that CLI does and whether it requires privileged access or tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent presence or modify other skills' configs in the provided files.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install agent-oversight - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/agent-oversight - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of the agent-oversight skill, providing robust monitoring and management for AI sub-agents.
- Monitors active, idle, and hung agent sessions.
- Coordinates file edits to prevent conflicts between agents.
- Automatically kills sessions hung for more than 5 minutes.
- Logs all failures to learnings.md for review and continuous improvement.
- Enforces coordination rules: read before editing, require exact text matches, one agent per file, and detailed failure tracking.
