Version History

v2.3.1Mar 1, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

What This Skill Does

Upgrades OpenClaw's agentic loop with persistent plan state, approval gates for risky operations, automatic retry with error diagnosis, context summarization, session checkpointing, and knowledge graph memory injection. A Mode dashboard provides visual configuration without editing JSON.

Plans survive across conversation turns and checkpoints, so multi-hour tasks can be interrupted and resumed without losing state or replaying completed steps.

When to use it

  • Resuming a multi-step coding task after closing the agent mid-session
  • Pausing before destructive shell commands to review and approve them
  • Running parallel subtasks within a single agent goal
  • Automatically retrying a failed file write with elevated permissions
  • Keeping context window manageable during long refactor sessions

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Build a REST API with authentication from scratch

AGENT
  1. 1Detects planning intent and generates a step-by-step plan stored to ~/.openclaw/agent-state/
  2. 2Injects plan status into the system prompt before each turn
  3. 3Pauses at the git push step and requests human approval with a 15-second timeout
  4. 4Retries a failed dependency install by diagnosing the error and applying a modified command
  5. 5Creates an automatic checkpoint after each completed step
OUTPUT

Completed plan with all steps marked done; checkpoint file available for restore if the session is interrupted
