SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes stale or missing markdown frontmatter across OpenClaw workspaces so documents remain discoverable, consistent, and safe to process.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scheduled Backfill: Runs a deterministic maintenance command to repair markdown frontmatter on a recurring launchd schedule.
Observable Mutation: Uses a skill-wrapper contract so file-changing behavior is explicit, auditable, and tied to the correct agent and trigger.
Verification Checks: Validates the launch agent plist and audits the wrapper path to confirm the maintenance job is configured correctly.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run the frontmatter backfill maintenance workflow for the OpenClaw workspace and verify the launchd job afterward.

FAQPage Schema

How do I fix missing markdown frontmatter across my workspace?▼

Scheduled frontmatter backfill repairs missing or outdated markdown headers across OpenClaw workspaces by running a deterministic maintenance command. This ensures documents remain discoverable, consistent, and safe to process through a controlled wrapper.

How does launchd scheduling work for markdown maintenance tasks?▼

Launchd scheduling runs markdown maintenance through a controlled cron-wrapper that triggers recurring file mutations. The wrapper path is audited and the launch agent plist is linted to verify deterministic execution.

Can I audit markdown file mutations performed during scheduled maintenance?▼

Yes, file mutations are auditable through an explicit skill-wrapper contract that ties file-changing behavior to the correct agent and trigger. The wrapper path is audited to verify deterministic execution during scheduled maintenance.

What checks are needed to verify a launchd job for markdown backfill?▼

Verifying a launchd markdown backfill job requires validating the launch agent plist and auditing the cron-wrapper path. These verification checks confirm the maintenance job is configured correctly for deterministic execution.

Why does stale frontmatter make markdown documents unsafe to process?▼

Stale frontmatter breaks document discoverability and downstream automation consistency. Running a frontmatter backfill synchronizes markdown headers so files remain discoverable, consistent, and safe to process.
