lobster-jobs

Transform OpenClaw cron jobs into Lobster workflows with approval gates and resumable execution.

Purpose

OpenClaw cron jobs are either: systemEvent: Simple shell commands (fully deterministic) agentTurn: Natural language instructions spawning AI agents (flexible but token-heavy) Lobster workflows offer: Deterministic execution: No LLM re-planning each step Approval gates: Hard stops requiring explicit user approval Stateful execution: Remembers cursors/checkpoints Resumability: Pauses and resumes exactly where left off This skill helps analyze existing cron jobs and transform them into Lobster workflows.

Tier 1 (Available Now)

lobster-jobs list List all cron jobs with their Lobster readiness score. Output categories: ✅ Fully Migratable: Simple shell commands (systemEvent) 🟡 Partial Migration: Mixed deterministic + LLM steps (agentTurn) ❌ Not Migratable: Heavy LLM reasoning required lobster-jobs inspect <job-id> Inspect a specific cron job with detailed migration assessment. Shows: Job metadata (schedule, target, payload type) Lobster migration status and reason Payload preview Migration recommendation lobster-jobs validate <workflow-file> Validate a Lobster workflow YAML file against schema. Checks: Required fields (name, steps) Step structure (id, command) Approval gate syntax Condition syntax

Tier 2 (Available Now)

lobster-jobs convert <job-id> Transform a cron job into a Lobster workflow. lobster-jobs convert 17fe68ca lobster-jobs convert 17fe68ca --output-dir ~/workflows lobster-jobs convert 17fe68ca --force # Overwrite existing Generates: .lobster workflow file in ~/.lobster/workflows/ Extracts commands from systemEvent or agentTurn payloads Auto-validates generated workflow Options: --output-dir, -o: Custom output directory --force, -f: Overwrite existing workflow --keep-on-error: Keep file even if validation fails lobster-jobs new <name> Create a new Lobster workflow from scratch using templates. lobster-jobs new my-workflow lobster-jobs new my-workflow --template with-approval lobster-jobs new my-workflow --template stateful Templates: simple-shell: Basic command execution with-approval: Approval gate workflow stateful: Workflow with cursor/state tracking

Installation

# Add to PATH export PATH="$PATH:/home/art/niemand/skills/lobster-jobs/bin" # Or create symlink ln -s /home/art/niemand/skills/lobster-jobs/bin/lobster-jobs ~/.local/bin/

Quick Start

# See all your cron jobs and their migration status lobster-jobs list # Inspect a specific job lobster-jobs inspect 17fe68ca # Convert a job to Lobster workflow lobster-jobs convert 17fe68ca # Create a new workflow from template lobster-jobs new my-workflow --template with-approval # Validate a workflow file lobster-jobs validate ~/.lobster/workflows/my-workflow.lobster

Workflow File Format

name: my-workflow description: Optional description steps: - id: fetch_data command: some-cli fetch --json - id: process command: some-cli process stdin: $fetch_data.stdout - id: approve_send command: approve --prompt "Send notification?" approval: required - id: send command: message.send --channel telegram --text "Done!" condition: $approve_send.approved

Wrapper Approach (Recommended)

Keep cron as scheduler, change payload to call Lobster: { "payload": { "kind": "systemEvent", "text": "lobster run ~/.lobster/workflows/my-workflow.lobster" } } Benefits: Rollback is trivial (revert payload) Incremental migration Cron scheduling already works

Handling LLM Judgment

For jobs needing both deterministic steps and LLM reasoning: steps: - id: gather command: gh issue list --json title,body - id: triage command: clawd.invoke prompt: "Classify these issues by urgency" - id: notify command: telegram-send The workflow is deterministic; the LLM is a black-box step.
