Prereqs

  • You have OpenClaw installed and openclaw is on PATH.
  • Set recipes cron installation behavior in config (safe default is prompt).
    • cronInstallation: prompt ⇒ asks before installing cron jobs
    • cronInstallation: on ⇒ installs cron jobs (enabled state still depends on enabledByDefault)
    • cronInstallation: off ⇒ skips cron reconciliation

​
Teams to verify

  • product-team
  • research-team
  • writing-team
  • social-team
  • customer-support-team
  • development-team

​
Commands

​
Scaffold each team

Note: --team-id must end with -team.
For each recipe id <rid> above: 
openclaw recipes scaffold-team <rid> --team-id <rid>-team --apply-config

​
Verify scaffold output

For each ~/.openclaw/workspace-<rid>-team/ ensure:
  • notes/plan.md exists
  • notes/status.md exists
  • shared-context/priorities.md exists
  • shared-context/agent-outputs/ exists
  • work/backlog/, work/in-progress/, work/testing/, work/done/ exist

​
Verify cron reconciliation behavior

  1. With cronInstallation: prompt:
    • Re-run scaffold-team and confirm you are prompted.
    • Answer No and verify that installed jobs are created disabled (or not created, depending on implementation).
  2. With cronInstallation: on:
    • Re-run scaffold-team and verify recipe cron jobs are installed.
  3. Confirm jobs are listed: 
openclaw cron list
  1. Optionally force-run a job:
openclaw cron run <jobId>

​
Cleanup (important)

These verification commands create temporary workspace-<teamId> directories. After you finish (or between runs), clean up test workspaces so they don’t accumulate: 
openclaw recipes cleanup-workspaces --prefix smoke- --prefix qa- --prefix tmp- --prefix test- --yes

​
What to record

  • Any recipe that fails to scaffold
  • Any cron job install/update errors
  • Any cron job that runs but fails (include logs / error output)
