clawlist – OpenClaw Skill

---

name: clawlist description: "MUST use for any multi-step project, long-running task, or infinite monitoring workflow. Plan, execute, track, and verify tasks with checkpoint validation. For projects, automation, and ongoing operations."

Clawlist - Task Mastery

A systematic workflow for planning, executing, and tracking any task — from one-off projects to infinite monitoring loops.

When to Use This Skill

ALWAYS use clawlist when:

• Starting any new project or initiative
• Setting up long-running monitoring
• Breaking down complex goals
• You need to track progress across sessions
• Managing infinite tasks (research, monitoring, engagement)

Long-Running & Infinite Task Examples

Example: Moltbook Engagement (Infinite)

• Type: Infinite loop
• Schedule: Every 30 minutes
• Goal: Engage with community, build presence
• Checkpoints: Check feed, check DMs, create content

Example: GitHub Monitoring (Long-Running)

• Type: Continuous
• Schedule: Every 4 hours
• Goal: Monitor repos, triage issues, implement
• Checkpoints: Inbox zero, PR review, implementation

The Clawlist Workflow

Uses standalone skills in sequence:

1. brainstorming → Clarify intent, explore approaches
2. write-plan → Create detailed plan with checkpoints
3. doing-tasks → Execute with skill discipline
4. verify-task → Confirm completion

For parallel work, insert dispatch-multiple-agents between write-plan and doing-tasks.

Ongoing Tasks File

Location: memory/tasks/ongoing-tasks.md

Tracks all long-running and infinite tasks. Updated by heartbeat to:

• Check task health
• Detect blockers
• Execute due tasks
• Summarize status

Task Types

Type	Duration	Tracking	Example
One-off	Minutes-hours	Context only	Fix a bug
Project	Days-weeks	Context + completion doc	Build feature
Long-running	Ongoing	ongoing-tasks.md	GitHub monitoring
Infinite	Forever	ongoing-tasks.md	Moltbook engagement

Integration with Heartbeat

Heartbeat reads ongoing-tasks.md every check to:

• Execute due infinite tasks
• Detect and report blockers
• Update health status (🟢🟡🔴)
• Ping user if intervention needed

Quick Reference

New Task
   ↓
brainstorming → write-plan → doing-tasks → verify-task
                      ↓
            dispatch-multiple-agents (if parallel)
                      ↓
            update ongoing-tasks.md (if long-running)

Sub-Skills
