SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents cron jobs from bypassing the required skill-wrapper path, which keeps agent automation consistent, auditable, and aligned with documented operational rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plist Auditing: Scans ai.{openclaw,gbrain}.*.plist files and checks whether each one routes through skill-wrapper.
  • Exception Handling: Recognizes the documented allow-list of long-running daemons and internal observability jobs that are permitted to bypass the wrapper.
  • Drift Reporting: Emits a consolidated Drift incident when violations are found so the issue is visible and actionable.
  • Use Case: Run this Skill weekly to verify that newly added launch agents still comply with the cron-thin-trigger-skill-does-work rule.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to audit the LaunchAgents plists for cron-wrapper compliance and report any wrapper bypasses or exception mismatches.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit launch agent plists for cron wrapper compliance?

To audit launch agent plists for cron wrapper compliance, scan ai.openclaw and ai.gbrain plist files to verify each job routes through the skill-wrapper path. This weekly check enforces the cron-thin-trigger-skill-does-work rule and identifies any bypasses.

What happens when a cron job bypasses the required skill-wrapper path?

When a cron job bypasses the skill-wrapper path, the audit detects the violation and emits a consolidated Drift incident. This reports the issue so it becomes visible and actionable for operational teams to correct.

Are there exceptions for launch agents that bypass the cron wrapper?

Yes, the cron wrapper audit recognizes a documented allow-list of exceptions. Long-running daemons and internal observability jobs are permitted to bypass the skill-wrapper path without triggering a Drift violation.

How do I check cron configurations in ai.openclaw and ai.gbrain for wrapper drift?

You can check ai.openclaw and ai.gbrain cron configurations for wrapper drift by running an audit that inspects plists and validates them against the allow-list. It emits a Drift incident for any mismatched or unauthorized bypasses.

Can I automate weekly compliance checks for launch agents?

You can automate weekly compliance checks for launch agents by running the audit against ai.openclaw and ai.gbrain plists. It verifies skill-wrapper routing, validates exceptions, and emits Drift incidents for any new violations.
