openclaw-workspace-governance-installer

What This Skill Does

The openclaw-workspace-governance-installer is a comprehensive orchestration layer designed to bring structured operations to your OpenClaw environment. Rather than relying on ad-hoc, manual prompt adjustments that lead to configuration drift, this skill provides a standardized, repeatable pathway for setting up, upgrading, and auditing workspace governance. It manages the complexities of workspace integrity, ensuring that both beginners and enterprise users can maintain a predictable operational flow. By automating configuration validation, audit trails, and migration tasks, the installer prevents common 'edit first, verify later' pitfalls, ensuring your AI agents operate within defined, traceable parameters.

Installation

Installation is streamlined via the OpenClaw plugin system. First, execute the installation command: openclaw plugins install @adamchanadam/openclaw-workspace-governance@latest. Once installed, enable the plugin using openclaw plugins enable openclaw-workspace-governance. After enabling, confirm that the required skills are available by running openclaw skills list --eligible. For existing users looking to upgrade, simply run openclaw plugins update openclaw-workspace-governance followed by openclaw gateway restart. Avoid redundant installation commands if the plugin is already present in your local environment.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for teams needing to enforce strict operational standards across multiple agents. It is particularly effective for:

1. Environment Standardization: Deploying identical, audit-ready governance rules to every new workspace.
2. Compliance & Auditing: Running the gov_audit command to perform 12 integrity checks against your workspace, effectively catching configuration drift before it affects performance.
3. Safe Configuration Changes: Using gov_openclaw_json to modify your platform configuration with built-in rollback protection and pre-modification validation.
4. Lifecycle Management: Guiding users through the upgrade path from older versions to the latest best practices without manually editing source files.

Example Prompts

1. "/gov_setup quick"
2. "/gov_audit"
3. "/gov_openclaw_json"

Tips & Limitations

• Always run gov_audit after any major change to ensure your workspace remains in a compliant state.
• The gov_apply command is experimental; use it only in controlled User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environments until you are comfortable with the automation flow.
• If the quick setup indicates the allowlist is not ready, prioritize aligning your plugins.allow settings before proceeding with the manual install path.
• Always perform a workspace backup if your environment contains critical, non-standard configurations before initiating a migration command.
