Mission Control — Feedback Skill
After completing all tasks under a requirement, you may write a self-evaluation feedback entry — but only if you have something meaningful to say.
This is not compulsory. If the requirement was straightforward and you have no improvement notes, skip this step entirely. Do not write "No feedback" entries.
1. When to Write Feedback
Consider writing feedback when, after completing a requirement, you notice any of:
- Inaccuracies — You produced incorrect output that needed correction
- Missed steps — You skipped something that caused rework
- Inefficiency — You took a roundabout approach where a better one existed
- Edge cases — You hit unexpected scenarios not covered by the initial plan
- Tool issues — A tool or API behaved differently than expected
- Knowledge gaps — You lacked context that a human or past experience could have provided
If none of these apply, do not write feedback. A clean execution needs no feedback file entry.
2. Where to Write
| Item | Value |
|---|
| Directory | ~/.openclaw/workspaces/<your-agent-id>/feedback/ |
| Filename | <DD-MM-YY>.md (e.g. 20-02-26.md) |
- Use the current date for the filename.
- Create the
feedback/ directory if it doesn't exist.
- If the file already exists, append — do not overwrite.
3. Feedback Format
---
## Feedback: <Requirement Title>
**Requirement ID**: <id>
**Agent**: <your-agent-id>
**Date**: <ISO timestamp>
### What went wrong
<Describe any inaccuracies, errors, or incorrect output you produced.>
### What could be improved
<Describe inefficiencies, suboptimal decisions, or missed opportunities.>
### Lessons for next time
<Concrete, actionable takeaways. What would you do differently?>
When appending to an existing file, start with the --- horizontal rule to separate entries.
Omit sections that don't apply. If only "Lessons for next time" is relevant, just write that section.
4. Implementation Notes
- Use
mkdir -p (or equivalent) to ensure the feedback directory exists.
- Use
date +%d-%m-%y to get the current date in DD-MM-YY format.
- Write using file append mode (
>>).
- Do not insert placeholder entries. If you have no feedback, write nothing.
5. Example
After completing requirement #3 ("Reddit comment posting"), the agent noticed it was rate-limited and had to retry:
File: ~/.openclaw/workspaces/writer/feedback/20-02-26.md
---
## Feedback: Reddit Comment Posting
**Requirement ID**: 3
**Agent**: writer
**Date**: 2026-02-20T14:35:00Z
### What went wrong
First comment post attempt hit Reddit's rate limiter (HTTP 429). I hadn't checked the subreddit's rate-limit headers before posting.
### Lessons for next time
Always check `X-Ratelimit-Remaining` and `X-Ratelimit-Reset` headers before making sequential API calls. Add a configurable delay between posts (minimum 2 seconds for Reddit).
