Maintainer workflow for OpenClaw releases, prereleases, changelog release notes, and publish validation.

  • SKILL.md covers Respect release guardrails, Keep release channel naming…, Handle versions and release… and Build changelog-backed release…, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls pnpm and node; needs NPM_TOKEN
  • Beta release steps

What it does

Openclaw Release Maintainer is an agent skill from SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper. Maintainer workflow for OpenClaw releases, prereleases, changelog release notes, and publish validation. Use when Codex needs to prepare or verify stable or beta release steps, align version naming, assemble release notes, check release auth requirements, or validate publish-time commands and artifacts.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: ClawKeeper: Comprehensive Safety Protection for OpenClaw Agents Through Skills, Plugins, and Watchers (aka The Norton for OpenClaw).

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to prepare
  • Beta release steps
  • Align version naming
  • Assemble release notes

Example prompts

  • “/openclaw-release-maintainer”

Requirements

  • A credential in NPM_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69db077. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NPM_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Openclaw Release Maintainer loads about 766 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~766

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 315 words (~766 tokens).

“Use this skill for release and publish-time workflow. Keep ordinary development changes and GHSA-specific advisory work outside this skill.”
