⚠️ System‑level skill (Advanced users)

This skill defines the control‑plane safety primitives for OpenClaw. It is intentionally minimal, non‑blocking, and designed to prevent agent freezes, deadlocks, and unrecoverable states when running long‑lived or high‑risk workloads.

Design Principles

Warning: This skill operates at the agent control‑plane level. It should be installed only by users who understand OpenClaw’s execution model and are running workloads that can block, hang, or run for extended periods.

• Main agent never blocks: no long exec, no external I/O, no LLM calls.
• Event-driven: workers emit events; the control plane listens.
• Fail-safe first: recovery commands must always respond.
• Minimal state: track only task metadata (never payloads).
