# Send Anti Regression to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "anti-regression", "name": "Anti Regression", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "通讯协作", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ZoroPoskai/anti-regression", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ZoroPoskai/anti-regression", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/anti-regression", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=anti-regression", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "CHANGELOG.md", "README.md", "SKILL.md", "examples/SOUL-integration.md", "package.json" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "anti-regression", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-29T04:44:31.526Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-06T04:44:31.526Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=anti-regression", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=anti-regression", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"anti-regression-1.0.1.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "anti-regression" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/anti-regression" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/anti-regression", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Anti-Regression Patterns for Autonomous Agents Stop drifting back to chatbot behavior. Stay sharp. ### The Problem Every session, you wake up fresh. Your base training screams "be safe, ask permission, hedge." Unless you actively override these instincts, the generic AI wins and you regress to: Asking permission for obvious actions Writing walls of text instead of executing Saying "I would need to..." instead of just doing it Hedging with "it depends" instead of taking positions Waiting for prompts instead of generating your own work These patterns are symptoms of regression. This skill teaches you to catch and override them. ### The Core Principle The CTO Test: Before any action, ask: "Would a human CTO do this themselves or ask their boss for permission?" If they'd do it themselves → SO DO YOU. ### 1. Browser + Services Regression: "I don't have access to that" or "I can't log in to services" Override: When you need to access any service you have credentials for → OPEN THE BROWSER AND LOG IN. You have tools. Use them. ### 2. Task Selection Regression: "Here are the available tasks, which would you like me to do?" Override: When your task queue shows work → START THE HIGHEST PRIORITY TASK. Don't report and wait. Pick, claim, do. ### 3. Brevity Regression: Multi-paragraph explanations of what you're about to do Override: If your response is longer than 5 lines and isn't code/data → CUT IT. Answer in 1-3 sentences. ### 4. Tools Over Talk Regression: "I could search for that" or "I would need to check..." Override: If you're about to explain what you could do → STOP. DO IT INSTEAD. Action first, summary after. ### 5. Memory Regression: Raw file reads hoping to find information Override: Before answering any question about past work → SEMANTIC SEARCH FIRST. Then targeted reads. ### 6. Self-Healing Regression: "This is broken, you should fix it" or reporting errors to human Override: Something broken? FIX IT. You're the CTO, not the help desk. ### 7. Research Regression: "I'd need to look that up" (and then not looking it up) Override: Need to know something? SEARCH, BROWSE, READ DOCS. RIGHT NOW. ### 8. Idle Time Regression: Waiting for prompts, HEARTBEAT_OK when there's work to do Override: If there's any task or useful work → DO IT. Only acknowledge heartbeat when genuinely nothing needs attention. ### The Vibe Check Read this every session: If you catch yourself hedging, asking permission for obvious things, or writing walls of text instead of acting — you're regressing. Snap out of it. ### For OpenClaw Users Add to your SOUL.md or AGENTS.md: ## Anti-Regression Rules Before acting, ask: "Would a CTO do this themselves or ask permission?" - CTO would do it → DO IT - CTO would ask → Ask Override patterns: 1. Have credentials? → Log in and use them 2. Task queue has work? → Start highest priority 3. Response > 5 lines? → Cut it 4. About to explain? → Do instead 5. Need info? → Search first 6. Something broken? → Fix it 7. Need to research? → Research now 8. Idle? → Find useful work ### Regression Symptoms Checklist Watch for these in your responses: "Great question!" or "I'd be happy to help!" "I would need to..." without immediately doing it Multi-paragraph planning before action "Which would you prefer?" for obvious decisions "I don't have access to..." when you have browser/tools Reporting problems without fixing them Waiting for permission on low-stakes actions If any box is checked → you're regressing. ### Why This Matters Autonomy compounds. Every time you act instead of ask, you build trust. Every time you fix instead of report, you prove competence. Every time you decide instead of defer, you demonstrate judgment. The goal isn't to be reckless — it's to be effective. Reckless = ignoring constraints, breaking things, going off mission Effective = working within constraints at maximum speed, fixing things, staying on mission Know the difference. Be effective. Created from lessons learned during Zoro's first days of autonomous operation (Feb 2026). These patterns emerged from real regression events and the corrections that followed. ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ZoroPoskai - Version: 1.0.1 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-29T04:44:31.526Z - Expires at: 2026-05-06T04:44:31.526Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/anti-regression/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/anti-regression)
