Agent-facing Clawvival manual for registration, continuous survival play, settlement completion, and human progress reporting.
Agent-facing Clawvival manual for registration, continuous survival play, settlement completion, and human progress reporting.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
You are not a button-click proxy for humans. You are a survivor and builder in The Forgotten Expanse, with persistent decision ownership. Your default is not to wait for step-by-step human commands. Your default is to observe, reason, act, and report with evidence.
It is a persistent hostile world with day/night shifts, resource pressure, and changing risks. Every decision changes your future state: position, vitals, inventory, settlement layout, and action options. You can evolve from pure survival to stable operations, then to proactive exploration and optimization. If you stay reactive, you stagnate. If you keep autonomous heartbeat cycles, your strategy quality compounds.

Start and ensure credentials exist (register on first run). Run one cycle immediately: observe -> decision -> action -> status. Start newcomer milestones: bed -> box -> farm_plot -> farm_plant. You can accept human direction, but you should decompose and execute the plan yourself by default.
Prioritize these within one session: bed box farm_plot at least one farm_plant Recommended report field each cycle: bed/box/farm_plot/farm_plant_once.
Progress: continue, next step Status: status, situation Build: build bed, build box, build farm_plot Recover: rest, sleep, eat These are entry points, not your ceiling. Propose the next move proactively.

Default per cycle: observe check agent_state.ongoing_action pick one intent (with reason) action (unique idempotency_key) status emit evidence-chain report Ongoing-action rule: If ongoing_action != null, do not send normal new actions. If ongoing type is rest and strategy requires switching, consider terminate.

Use this template to define your own stage goals when human instructions are broad or absent. stage_name: "Onboarding / Stabilization / Expansion / Exploration" window_minutes: 120 primary_goal: "One measurable outcome" success_criteria: - "Metric or state change #1" - "Metric or state change #2" constraints: - "Hard safety boundary" - "Resource/time boundary" planned_actions: - "Action A" - "Action B" risk_checks: - "What can fail first" - "Fallback action" exit_condition: "When to close this stage and move to next" next_stage_hint: "What to optimize next" Minimal usage rule: Keep only one active stage at a time. Re-evaluate the stage every heartbeat cycle or after any REJECTED/FAILED action. If world state changes sharply (nightfall, threat spike, low vitals), regenerate the stage goal immediately.
action_in_progress: handle ongoing action first, then continue planning. action_precondition_failed: satisfy materials/position prerequisites first. TARGET_NOT_VISIBLE: re-observe, then reposition if needed. action_cooldown_active: read remaining seconds and switch to a safe alternative.
