OpenClaw-superpowers adds reliability features for operational failure modes
The openclaw-superpowers project has added eight new skills focused on operational reliability for always-on OpenClaw agents. These features address failure modes beyond just prompting behavior.
New reliability skills
- deployment-preflight: Checks mounts, bootstrap files, runtime paths, and obvious gateway exposure before rollout
- runtime-verification-dashboard: Audits the live runtime for cron drift, stale state, dependency issues, and install-layout problems
- session-reset-recovery: Checkpoints active work before the reset window and restores a resume brief after restart
- cron-execution-prover: Records expected/start/finish/fail state so scheduled work is actually provable
- message-delivery-verifier: Tracks queued/sent/acknowledged/failed/stale notification state
- subagent-capability-auditor: Checks spawn depth, tool exposure, and fleet shape before multi-agent runs
- upgrade-rollback-manager: Snapshots config/state before upgrades and generates rollback instructions
- mcp-auth-lifecycle-manager: Tracks token expiry, missing env vars, refresh readiness, and interactive-login risk for MCP servers
These complement existing skills rather than replacing them. For example, while mcp-health-checker tells you whether a server is reachable now, mcp-auth-lifecycle-manager tells you whether auth will quietly fail later.
Current repository state
- 60 skills total
- 44 OpenClaw-native skills
- 23 cron-scheduled skills
Areas for contribution
The maintainers are seeking contributions, particularly around:
- Incident aggregation / operator digesting
- Delivery retry/remediation
- Secret rotation / MCP auth refresh flows
- Workspace/bootstrap validation
- Better subagent governance
- Stronger tests around live runtime behavior
If you encounter specific failure modes in real OpenClaw usage, opening an issue or PR is encouraged as the best input for future skill development.
