- 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)
- Execute one concrete next action from OPEN_TASKS.
- Write artifacts (target files must change).
- Verify with
scripts/verify_progress.py. - 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
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 30Closed-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.
