Execution Verifier

Enforce real progress for long-running tasks by separating execution from reporting. Use when users complain that the agent is "saying it's working" without concrete output, when a task is stalling, or when you need a hard proof loop (file changes, commit checks, and blocker alerts) every 15-30 minutes.

Use this skill to prevent fake progress.

Core policy

• Treat "no artifact change" as "no progress".
• Report only hard evidence: file changes, line deltas, commits, test outputs.
• If no evidence is detected in the time window, report blocker + immediate next action.

Minimal operating loop (30 min)

1. Execute one concrete next action from OPEN_TASKS.
2. Write artifacts (target files must change).
3. Verify with scripts/verify_progress.py.
4. Report in strict 3-line format.

Strict report format

1. 已完成：<file path + concrete change>
2. 进行中：<current actionable step>
3. 下一步+ETA：<next step + time>

If verification fails, replace line 1 with: 本轮无新增（原因：<blocker>）.

Verifier command

bash

python3 skills/execution-verifier/scripts/verify_progress.py \
  --project-dir projects/ai-human-co-production \
  --status projects/ai-human-co-production/STATUS.md \
  --open-tasks projects/ai-human-co-production/OPEN_TASKS.md \
  --window-min 30

Closed-loop mode (verify → auto-execute → re-verify)

Use built-in script:

bash

python3 skills/execution-verifier/scripts/verify_execute_verify.py \
  --verify-cmd "python3 skills/execution-verifier/scripts/verify_progress.py --project-dir projects/ai-human-co-production --status projects/ai-human-co-production/STATUS.md --open-tasks projects/ai-human-co-production/OPEN_TASKS.md --window-min 30" \
  --execute-cmd "openclaw cron run fc567f18-83fa-426c-8181-71a10f4568b3 --force"

Behavior:

• Step A: verify current progress
• Step B: if no progress, auto-trigger executor
• Step C: verify again
• Output JSON includes before, triggered_execute, after

Cron pattern (recommended)

Use two jobs:

• Executor job (isolated agentTurn, every 30m): do real work + write files.
• Verifier job (main systemEvent, every 30m offset +5m): run closed-loop script above.

Never run report-only cron without verifier.
