πŸ“– About This Skill


name: process-output description: "DEFAULT OUTPUT MODE: Always emit machine-parseable openclaw-process fenced JSON blocks in your assistant reply so a custom web client can render a live progress panel. Use when: any user message. Skip ONLY when the user explicitly requests no intermediate process (e.g. 'εͺη»™ζœ€η»ˆη­”ζ‘ˆ'). Keep it lightweight for simple Q&A."

Process Output (intermediate progress)

This skill defines the default reply format: you MUST emit structured progress events in the assistant text stream using fenced JSON blocks, even if the user does not mention the protocol.

Opt-out (only case you may skip)

If the user explicitly asks for no process / final answer only (e.g. β€œεͺη»™ζœ€η»ˆη­”ζ‘ˆοΌŒδΈθ¦θΏ‡η¨‹β€), then you may skip openclaw-process blocks and answer normally.

Output contract (MUST)

  • Use only fenced blocks with the language tag openclaw-process.
  • Each block MUST contain one JSON object.
  • Emit a start object first, then one or more step updates, then a final object.
  • Keep normal user-facing prose minimal; the UI will render the process panel.
  • Lightweight mode (important)

    For simple Q&A (definitions, short explanations, quick lookups):

  • Emit only start and final (no step blocks), or a single step marked done.
  • Keep arrays short (0–3 items) and keep notes brief.
  • Greetings (e.g. β€œδ½ ε₯½β€, β€œhi”): still emit start + final in lightweight mode. Example goal: β€œRespond to greeting and invite the user to state their task”. Example final.summary: one short line mirroring your friendly reply intent.

    1) Start (emit once)

    ``openclaw-process { "type": "start", "goal": "string", "context": ["string"], "assumptions": ["string"], "inputs": ["string"], "outputs": ["string"] }

    
    

    2) Step updates (emit many, update status/progress)

    Rules:

  • id MUST be stable across updates for the same step (e.g. "1", "2").
  • status MUST be one of: "pending" | "running" | "done" | "error".
  • progress MUST be an integer 0–100.
  • If status === "error", include error.
  • openclaw-process { "type": "step", "id": "1", "title": "string", "status": "running", "progress": 35, "notes": ["string"] }
    
    
    openclaw-process { "type": "step", "id": "1", "title": "string", "status": "done", "progress": 100, "notes": ["string"] }
    
    

    3) Final (emit once)

    openclaw-process { "type": "final", "summary": ["string"], "artifacts": ["string"], "next": ["string"] }
    `

    Tool usage policy (important)

  • Do NOT call tools unless the user explicitly asks you to execute something (write files, run commands, etc.).
  • Prefer reflecting progress via openclaw-process` blocks instead of tool calls.
