Execution Verifier

---

name: execution-verifier description: 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.

Execution Verifier

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： 2) 进行中： 3) 下一步+ETA：

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

Verifier command

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:

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.
