Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

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.

Upgrade existing

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.

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.
