Description
Install OpenClaw WORKSPACE_GOVERNANCE in minutes. Get guided setup, upgrade checks, migration, and audit for long-running workspaces.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it only tells you how to install a governance plugin using your openclaw CLI. The main risk is the plugin you install, not the skill text. Before installing: 1) review the plugin repository and recent releases (https://github.com/Adamchanadam/OpenClaw-WORKSPACE-GOVERNANCE), 2) inspect the plugin manifest and source code or ask the author for signed releases, 3) test installation in a staging workspace and back up openclaw.json, 4) confirm the plugin's required permissions and that you trust the maintainer, and 5) avoid running install commands on production without an audit. If you cannot audit the plugin, consider treating it as untrusted code.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-workspace-governance-installer
Version: 0.2.9
The bundle serves as an installer for an external plugin (@adamchanadam/openclaw-workspace-governance) and provides instructions for the agent to perform high-privilege operations, including modifying platform configurations (openclaw.json) and auditing workspace data. While these actions align with the stated purpose of 'Workspace Governance,' the instructions to fetch and execute remote artifacts and the broad system access required for the described commands represent a significant attack surface. Additionally, the _meta.json file contains a future-dated timestamp (2026).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all describe installing and running an OpenClaw workspace-governance plugin. The only required binary is 'openclaw', which is proportionate to the stated installer purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the user to run 'openclaw plugins install ...' and 'openclaw gateway restart' and describes commands the plugin provides (gov_*). It also mentions editing 'openclaw.json' via the plugin's safe-edit command. These are within the governance scope, but they imply the plugin will read/modify OpenClaw platform config — users should review the plugin's behavior before granting it those abilities.
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only (no install spec), and installs the plugin via 'openclaw plugins install @adamchanadam/openclaw-workspace-governance@latest'. That is expected for an installer, but it causes OpenClaw to fetch and install third-party code; verify the plugin source and releases before installing.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested by the skill itself. This is proportionate to an instruction-only installer that delegates actual configuration to the OpenClaw plugin.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill itself is not 'always' and does not request elevated platform settings. However, the installer instructs installing a plugin that will persist inside the OpenClaw instance and may receive privileges there — users should vet the plugin's requested permissions and intended modifications before installing.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-workspace-governance-installer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-workspace-governance-installer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.2.9
Corrected Brain Docs gate logic diagram (soft block → allow → hard block, was incorrectly shown as advisory ×2 then block). PNG flow charts replaced with SVG. SVG files now included in npm package.
v0.2.8
RC-1/RC-3 gate fix: cronIntentUser scoped to current turn only; A5 redesign (1st high-risk write = soft block, 2nd = allow, 3rd+ = hard block); gov_brain_audit GUARDS_NOT_IN_READ_GATE rule; AGENTS_CORE_v1 explicit read requirement for ACTIVE_GUARDS.md + LESSONS.md; 5 new tests C212-C216
v0.2.7
Fixed quietTurnFirstTime media contamination: session guard now injects into passive background context only; media turn detection defers quiet-turn when first message is image/video/audio; prevents governance instructions from polluting image perception tasks; 2 new regression tests C210-C211; denominator 209->211
v0.2.6
README tone cleanup: removed promotional/AI-generated phrasing — shorter sentences, factual descriptions. No behavior change.
v0.2.5
AUTOGEN block size fix: slim AGENTS_CORE_v1 injection 9350→600 chars; adds size guard to prevent future bloat; no behavior change
v0.2.4
Fix A: quiet-turn suppressed during govCommandIntentUntil window. Fix B: /gov_openclaw_json INFO mode shows copy-pasteable command. Fix C: platform config auto-routing bypasses brainAuditNudge, fires mandatory /skill gov_openclaw_json directive. Fix D: /gov_help upgrade block shows step-by-step terminal+chat upgrade commands when new version detected. /gov_uninstall quick description corrected. All production examples verified from official docs. 2 new tests C208-C209; regression 209/209.
v0.2.3
Rewrote ClawHub page for clarity: removed technical sections, focused on install quickstart and command list
v0.2.2
Simplified ClawHub README to align with GitHub: /gov_setup quick is single entry point, removed /gov_help and manual chain steps
v0.2.1
Doc-only patch: simplified install/upgrade paths — /gov_setup quick is now the single recommended entry point; removed manual chain step 5 from install and upgrade paths; bootstrap payload synced; no runtime changes
v0.2.0
prependSystemContext always-on governance anchor; sessionId-based gate isolation; cron/heartbeat automation notice; full doc review; requires OpenClaw v2026.3.7+
v0.1.66
Cron read/write split + heartbeat write governance; official doc URL route hints; regression 197/197
v0.1.65
Governance gap fixes G1+G2+G3: gov_setup seeds _control/ACTIVE_GUARDS.md on install; error correction protocol + session guard reminder injected on first idle turn per session
v0.1.64
Pre-publish machine guard: check_release_consistency.mjs enforces README release notes contain current version
v0.1.63
README release notes update for v0.1.61+v0.1.62, bootstrap payload sync
v0.1.62
Runner defensive fixes (QC#8 uninstall, TOCTOU, corrupted config, backup failure) + task context continuity
v0.1.61
Brain Docs write guidance: hard block leads with /gov_brain_audit, advisory hint added
v0.1.60
QC #8 BEFORE/AFTER PROOF root fix: H1 parser, none sentinel, LLM bullet tolerance; 14 malformed-data regression tests; regression 164/164
v0.1.59
Complete scanner compatibility fix: eliminated all \bpost\b matches (prefixes + comments) to pass OpenClaw 2026.2.24 scanner; added /gov_brain_audit force-accept to Command Chooser
v0.1.58
Scanner compatibility fix: renamed POST_ QC prefixes to avoid OpenClaw 2026.2.24 scanner false positive; added /gov_brain_audit force-accept to Command Chooser
v0.1.57
Advisory feedback loop: AI coached after writes without evidence; README write-protection clarity; ref_doc refresh; regression 140/140
