At a glance

Long-horizon robot task execution workflow for multi-step manipulation tasks.

  • Works in 8 steps: Safety and Preconditions → Build or Refine the Subtask Plan → Initialize Run Tracking → …
  • One user goal must be decomposed into ordered subtasks
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Inputs, Defaulting Rules and Hard Rules, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Long Horizon Execution is an agent skill from RoboClaw-Robotics/RoboClaw. Long-horizon robot task execution workflow for multi-step manipulation tasks. Use this skill when one user goal must be decomposed into ordered subtasks, each subtask needs explicit success checks, retries, or recovery, and every prompt-driven policy rollout should be executed through $monitored-subtask-execution instead of calling raw MCP robot tools directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/paper-vanity-four-tasks-spec.md` and `references/subtask-plan-template.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. It works with Model Context Protocol.

When your agent uses it

  • One user goal must be decomposed into ordered subtasks
  • Each subtask needs explicit success checks
  • Every prompt-driven policy rollout should be executed through $monitored-subtask-execution instead of calling raw MCP robot tools directly

Example prompts

  • “/long-horizon-execution”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Safety and Preconditions
  2. Build or Refine the Subtask Plan
  3. Initialize Run Tracking
  4. Select the Next Subtask
  5. Execute the Subtask Through $monitored-subtask-execution
  6. Verify the Result
  7. Recover, Retry, or Replan
  8. Finish the Task

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5238184. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Long Horizon Execution loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 872 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 872 words (~1,865 tokens).

“Use this skill to execute a multi-step robot task as an ordered sequence of verifiable subtasks. Build or refine the subtask plan, execute one policy rollout at a time through $monitored-subtask-execution, verify each result, and update the remaining plan until…”
