Description
Run approved long-running project work from file-backed state, continue through self-clearable tasks, pause cleanly at real gates, and recover across sessions.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for orchestrating long-running, file-backed projects and does not request credentials or install software. Before installing: 1) confirm you only use it for explicitly approved projects and that project folders (agents/<agent-id>/projects/<project-slug>) do not contain sensitive secrets the agent shouldn’t modify; 2) review how your agent identity maps to state.json.owner_agent so the correct agent executes tasks; 3) be aware it can proceed autonomously across multiple turns (it forbids waiting for human confirmation on self-clearable tasks) and will send regular status updates (every ~5 minutes) — decide whether you want that behavior and where updates will be delivered; 4) consider testing it in a sandbox project to verify 'verify reality' and status-update behavior are acceptable before using on critical projects.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: project-loop Version: 1.0.2 The skill implements a high-autonomy project management framework that includes several high-risk behaviors. Key indicators include instructions in SKILL.md to bypass security filters by splitting commands if they are 'denied for obfuscation or size', the automated creation of system persistence via 'watchdog cron' jobs, and a directive to prioritize external file-based state over direct user chat, which creates a vector for indirect prompt injection. While the skill includes security guardrails requiring human approval for sensitive actions like credential handling and installs, the combination of automated persistence and filter-bypass logic warrants a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (long-running, file-backed project loop) match the instructions: the SKILL.md prescribes reading/writing project files, a state machine, chunked execution, validation, and pause/resume behavior. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within orchestration scope (read/write project files, validate outputs, advance state). A few phrases are ambiguous and grant operational discretion that could have practical impact: 'verify state.json against actual reality' and 'send a status update at least every 5 minutes' do not specify what endpoints/channels to use or what 'verify reality' entails. Also the rule 'do not wait for human confirmation between self-clearable tasks' intentionally enables autonomous progress — appropriate for the purpose but important for operators to understand.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This is the lowest-risk install model and matches the skill design.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The runtime instructions reference only project files under agents/<agent-id>/projects/<project-slug>, which is proportionate to the stated orchestration purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not flagged always:true and requires user invocation; the platform default allows autonomous invocation by the agent (disable-model-invocation: false). That autonomous capability is consistent with the skill's goal (it explicitly directs continuing through self-clearable tasks), but users should be aware it can make multi-turn, unattended progress within the project folder.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install project-loop
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /project-loop
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
Clarify same-turn continuation after successful state updates and make state.json full-file writes the default with stronger hard-stop behavior on failed state updates.
v1.0.1
Initial public release of the lean Project Loop skill with file-backed state, chunking, validation, pause/resume, watchdog lifecycle, and anti-drift rules.
