When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Diagnose why a multi-agent swarm feels "stuck" or partially offline
  • Check gateway + channel + lane liveness in one run
  • Perform bounded auto-recovery (restart + retry only)
  • Capture auditable receipts for incident timelines
  • Keep a primary watchdog lane plus a backup lane in place

Commands

# Install/refresh watchdog scripts + cron wiring
bash skills/swarm-self-heal/scripts/setup.sh

# Run an immediate canary check
bash skills/swarm-self-heal/scripts/check.sh

# Run watchdog directly (uses deployed workspace path)
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace-studio/scripts/anvil_watchdog.sh

# Optional: increase lane ping timeout for slower providers
PING_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=180 bash ~/.openclaw/workspace-studio/scripts/anvil_watchdog.sh

What it checks

  • Gateway health via openclaw health
  • Channel readiness via openclaw channels status --json --probe
  • Passive lane recency via openclaw status --json (latest OpenClaw-compatible)
  • Active lane probe only when stale for main, builder-1, builder-2, reviewer, designer
  • Bounded recovery with a single restart pass + targeted re-probe of infra failures

Output contract

The watchdog output includes:

  • timestamp
  • targets
  • ok_agents
  • failed_agents
  • actions
  • VERDICT
  • RECEIPT

Safety model

  • Bounded recovery only (single restart pass per run)
  • No destructive state wipes
  • No blind reinstall behavior
  • Recovery actions are explicit in output

Notes

  • Cron wiring sets both primary and backup watchdog lanes to xhigh thinking.
  • Telegram target is auto-derived from config when available, with a safe fallback.
  • Healthy runs can be summarized as a single line to reduce operator noise.
