Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-agent-updater scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenClaw Agent Updater

Surgically update existing OpenClaw agent workspace files based on business changes, conversational requests, and evolving context — without touching the soul.

What This Skill Does

Agents go stale. A new client is signed, an invoice is paid, a service is deprecated, a goal is completed, a cron job needs adjusting. This skill handles all of it — precisely, surgically, with a preview before any change is made.

What it NEVER changes (soul-protected):

  • ## Core Values in SOUL.md
  • ## Boundaries in SOUL.md
  • ## Vibe in SOUL.md
  • ## Communication Style philosophy in SOUL.md
  • IDENTITY.md entirely
  • Any hard limit (NEVER rule) in AGENTS.md

What it CAN change:

  • ## Context section in SOUL.md (business facts, reporting lines, tools)
  • MEMORY.md — any section (add clients, update invoices, log lessons)
  • GOALS.md — add goals, update status, move to completed, change priorities
  • AGENTS.md — workflows, tool access, escalation rules, report formats
  • HEARTBEAT.md — checklist items
  • USER.md — owner preferences or contact details
  • openclaw.json — model, heartbeat interval, cron jobs, bindings, channel config

Change Classification

Before making any edit, classify the incoming request:

Change Type Affects Example
Business event MEMORY.md, GOALS.md "RPS paid the invoice", "New client: Tivanathi Phase 2"
Goal update GOALS.md "Mark the IBS website goal complete", "Add P1 goal for new tender"
Client update MEMORY.md (client file) "RPS contact is now Thabo Dlamini", "Tripli scope expanded"
Context change SOUL.md context section "We now also offer R&D tax consulting", "Reporting to APEX changed"
Operational change AGENTS.md "HUNTER's follow-up cadence is now 21 days max", "Add PITCH to NEXUS's doc workflow"
Infrastructure change openclaw.json, HEARTBEAT.md "Change SENTINEL to check every 4h", "Add new cron job for EDGE"
Memory add MEMORY.md "Remember that Givemore prefers WhatsApp voice notes"
Lesson learned MEMORY.md (lessons section) "Add: always confirm RPS audit dates 2 weeks out"
Stale cleanup GOALS.md, MEMORY.md "Remove the completed ESK tender goal", "Archive Tripli invoice"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
