SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manual orchestration of recurring tasks and documented workflows in OpenClaw is complex and error-prone. This skill provides a structured framework for defining and governing cron-based automation and process definitions to ensure reliability, auditability, and repeatable results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define and schedule cron jobs to run agent tasks with isolated sessions and deterministic behavior.
  • Document and manage recurring workflows using PROCESSES.json and related workspace conventions.
  • Enforce quality gates through Vigil-style checks and a clear process governance model.

Quick Start

Create or update a cron job by editing openclaw.json, and define the corresponding process in workspace/processes/PROCESSES.json; then validate the configuration and monitor logs to ensure successful execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule cron jobs for OpenClaw agents?

To schedule cron jobs for OpenClaw agents, configure the cron schedules within the openclaw.json file, which enables repeatable, auditable automation workflows with isolated sessions and deterministic behavior.

What is the best way to document recurring workflows in OpenClaw?

Documenting recurring workflows in OpenClaw requires defining and managing process definitions in the workspace/processes/PROCESSES.json file, ensuring documented workflows follow governance conventions for auditability.

How do quality gates work with OpenClaw process definitions?

Quality gates in OpenClaw process definitions work by enforcing Vigil-style checks and applying a clear process governance model, ensuring automated cron workflows meet reliability standards before execution.

Can I configure deterministic agent runs using openclaw.json?

Yes, you can configure deterministic agent runs using openclaw.json by defining cron schedules that execute with isolated sessions, preventing external interference and ensuring repeatable automation results.

Why do I need PROCESSES.json for OpenClaw workspace automation?

You need PROCESSES.json for OpenClaw workspace automation because manual orchestration of recurring tasks is complex and error-prone; this file provides a structured framework to govern documented workflows reliably.

Does OpenClaw support isolated sessions for scheduled cron tasks?

Yes, OpenClaw supports isolated sessions for scheduled cron tasks to ensure deterministic agent behavior, preventing state leakage between automated runs and maintaining workflow reliability.
