Description
Deterministic reliability monitoring for OpenClaw assistant workflows. Use when you need to run ARW smoke probes, generate a daily digest, validate scorecard...
README (SKILL.md)
Assistant Reliability Watchtower
Run ARW through the repo-backed wrapper instead of rediscovering commands by hand.
Quick start
Use scripts/arw_skill.py from this skill for the common flows:
python3 scripts/arw_skill.py smokepython3 scripts/arw_skill.py digestpython3 scripts/arw_skill.py verify-scorecard-evidencepython3 scripts/arw_skill.py verify-scorecard-preamble
The wrapper accepts --repo-root (or ARW_REPO_ROOT) so repo location stays explicit outside the skill contract, and it exports PYTHONPATH correctly.
Workflow
- Read
references/release-contract.mdfor scope, release posture, and anti-goals. - Read
references/probe-catalog.mdwhen you need to explain what ARW currently watches. - Read
references/config-contract.mdwhen you need to set thresholds, artifact location, or delivery evidence values. - Point the wrapper at the checked-out ARW repo with
--repo-root /path/to/arw-watchtowerwhen autodetection is not enough. - Use
scripts/arw_skill.pyfor the common operational paths. - Keep writes inside the configured ARW repo and
artifacts/arw/**.
Common tasks
Run smoke probes
python3 scripts/arw_skill.py smoke
Generate a digest
python3 scripts/arw_skill.py digest --window-hours 24
Run the validation evidence drill
python3 scripts/arw_skill.py verify-scorecard-evidence
Render the final operator preamble
python3 scripts/arw_skill.py verify-scorecard-preamble
Notes
- This RC surface is intentionally repo-backed for now. It is an internal release candidate, not a marketplace-polished public release.
verify-scorecard-evidenceandverify-scorecard-preamblenow use skill-level dry-run delivery values instead of inheriting repo-local recipient ids.- Prefer RC1 work that improves packaging, operator clarity, portability, or high-value probe coverage.
- Avoid expanding the backlog with new micro-gates unless they directly unblock RC1.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its description: it’s a thin wrapper that runs ARW code in a repository you point it at. Before using it, verify the ARW checkout is trusted: review arw/run.py and arw.alert (and any modules imported by them), and run the skill in an isolated environment if the repo is untrusted. Check asset/example-config.json so delivery fields default to dry-run (avoid accidentally sending to real recipients), and prefer passing --repo-root explicitly rather than relying on autodiscovery. There are no required credentials in the skill itself, but the wrapper will execute repository code (both in-process import and via subprocess -m), which is the main operational risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: assistant-reliability-watchtower
Version: 0.1.0
The skill acts as a wrapper for an external repository ('ARW'), utilizing high-risk execution patterns in `scripts/arw_skill.py` such as `subprocess.run` to execute system commands and dynamic Python imports via `sys.path` manipulation. While these capabilities are aligned with the stated purpose of managing a repo-backed watchtower, the reliance on environment variables (`ARW_REPO_ROOT`) and CLI arguments to define execution paths creates a risk of arbitrary code execution if the environment or agent instructions are manipulated. No evidence of intentional malice or data exfiltration was found, but the architectural reliance on executing external, unverified code warrants a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the package actually does: a repo-backed wrapper that runs arw.run (smoke, digest, validation flows), manages PYTHONPATH, and writes artifacts under artifacts/arw. No unrelated binaries or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit behavior to running ARW flows in a checked-out repo and reading the included docs/config. However, the wrapper spawns the repository's code (python -m arw.run) and imports repository modules (arw.alert) which will execute arbitrary code from that repo at runtime; this is expected for a repo-backed wrapper but is an important operational risk if the repo is untrusted.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-plus-script only. Nothing is downloaded or written by an installer, minimizing supply-chain risk from the skill bundle itself.
Credentials
No required env vars or credentials. The script optionally honors ARW_REPO_ROOT and sets PYTHONPATH to include the repo root; config delivery fields default to dry-run values. No secrets or unrelated platform credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (normal). The skill runs subprocesses and imports code from the target repo—reasonable for its role but gives the skill the ability to execute arbitrary repo code and produce side effects in the repo working directory. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform default) but not, by itself, a new risk here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install assistant-reliability-watchtower - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/assistant-reliability-watchtower - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
