description	Deterministic, evidence-gated controller templates for OpenClaw (HEARTBEAT/ACTIVITIES + sprint template + poll cron payload). Docs-only: installs no services and makes no config changes by itself.

Deterministic Controller for OpenClaw (Docs-only)

USE WHEN

• You want a deterministic, repeatable orchestration loop for OpenClaw (heartbeat + cron poll + subagents).
• You want evidence-gated completion (no DONE without artifact paths).
• You want a lean portfolio queue (ACTIVITIES.md) with external sprint-plan import via Plan Path.

DON'T USE WHEN

• You want a turnkey, self-modifying installer that patches config / creates cron jobs automatically.
• You need complex runtime code; this skill is templates + docs.

Outputs

• Template files under this skill folder:
  • templates/HEARTBEAT.md
  • templates/ACTIVITIES.md
  • templates/SPRINT_TEMPLATE.md
• Copy/paste prompts:
  • examples/setup_prompt.md
  • examples/project_to_sprint_prompt.md
• Cron payload text:
  • docs/poll_cron_payload.txt
• Config guidance:
  • docs/openclaw_config_snippets.md

How to use

Start with the repo README:

• README.md

Then copy templates into your workspace and set:

• <TELEGRAM_GROUP_ID> in HEARTBEAT.md
• heartbeat prompt + cadence in openclaw.json (see docs/openclaw_config_snippets.md)

This skill intentionally does not execute commands or change config automatically.
