# Send Lobster Workflows 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. 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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "lobster-jobs", "name": "Lobster Workflows", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "数据分析", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/kesslerio/lobster-jobs", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/kesslerio/lobster-jobs", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/lobster-jobs", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=lobster-jobs", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-23T16:43:11.935Z", "expiresAt": "2026-04-30T16:43:11.935Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=4claw-imageboard", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=4claw-imageboard", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"4claw-imageboard-1.0.1.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null }, "scope": "source", "summary": "Source download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/lobster-jobs" }, "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/lobster-jobs", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/lobster-jobs", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### 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 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 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 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 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. ### Edge Cases IssueHandlingIdempotencyWorkflows track step completion; restart-safeApproval timeoutsConfigurable timeout with default actionSecret handlingEnvironment variables or 1Password refsPartial failuresconvert validates before writing ### References Lobster: https://github.com/openclaw/lobster Lobster VISION: https://github.com/openclaw/lobster/blob/main/VISION.md ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: kesslerio - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-23T16:43:11.935Z - Expires at: 2026-04-30T16:43:11.935Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/lobster-jobs/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/lobster-jobs)
