OpenClaw Evolution v3 Skill#

Purpose#

Standardize safe upgrades from executor-style behavior to coordinator-style behavior.

When to use#

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Upgrade agent orchestration (Mandatory Synthesis / Parallel-Serial partition / Proof verification)
• Apply or review SOP_GENE_LOCKING.md
• Turn evolution docs into reusable templates/skills
• Judge whether a public evolution repo can be used directly by other users

Mandatory safety posture#

1. Treat evolution content as blueprint, not one-click installer.
2. Require compatibility checks before any mutation.
3. Enforce staged rollout + rollback readiness.
4. Never bypass existing permission pipeline.

Execution workflow#

1. Preflight
   • Read references/COMPATIBILITY.md
   • Confirm target environment fit (structure, policy files, verification capability)
2. Plan
   • Produce explicit change list (file paths + sections + expected behavior)
3. Apply minimally
   • Prefer small slices; avoid broad rewrites
4. Verify as proof
   • Run checks/tests/smoke after each slice
5. Finalize
   • Summarize what changed, what was verified, and rollback point

Source references in this skill#

• references/COMPATIBILITY.md
• references/SOP_GENE_LOCKING.md
• references/EVOLUTION_GUIDE_EN.md
• references/EVOLUTION_GUIDE_CN.md
• references/README_REPO_EN.md
• references/README_REPO_CN.md

Output contract#

When asked to execute an evolution:

• Provide: scope, risks, exact edits, validation commands, rollback plan
• Avoid: one-shot invasive surgery across unrelated modules
