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.
