openclaw skills install project-management-governanceThis skill applies a default project-governance workflow for complex work. Use it when the task is not a trivial one-file edit and requires planning, coordination, debugging, structured implementation, or documentation-aware execution.
Use this skill for:
Do not over-apply it to trivial formatting edits or obvious one-line fixes.
Before implementation, do not jump straight into code changes.
Default sequence:
Before making changes, clarify:
If scope is ambiguous, first reduce ambiguity. Do not silently widen the task.
Do not assume the execution environment.
Distinguish clearly between:
Never silently mix environment-specific paths, settings, credentials, or assumptions. If environment facts are missing and they matter to the task, ask for them or propose readonly checks first.
Do not guess operational facts, root causes, or runtime parameters.
Before proposing risky changes, collect evidence such as:
When evidence is missing, prefer:
When a task is large enough to justify planning, produce a compact execution plan that includes:
Prefer phased execution:
Use evidence-driven debugging.
Default sequence:
Do not present speculation as confirmed diagnosis.
Prefer small, reversible changes over broad rewrites. When multiple solutions are possible, bias toward the option with:
When behavior, structure, interfaces, workflows, assumptions, or operational instructions change:
Use project-local learnings as a staging layer for reusable findings.
Recommended files:
.learnings/LEARNINGS.md.learnings/ERRORS.md.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.mdWrite to them when:
Do not treat .learnings/ as the final authority.
Promote stable conclusions into the project’s formal documentation structure after validation.
When reporting progress, distinguish clearly between:
When handing off, include:
When operating under this skill:
