# openclaw-auto-continue

Reusable OpenClaw skill for `/auto-continue` (`/ac`) session-level auto-followup.

## What this repo contains

- `openclaw-auto-continue/SKILL.md` — the **agent-facing** skill instructions
- `openclaw-auto-continue.skill` — packaged skill artifact

## For humans: how to use on another computer

### Option 1: clone the repo

```bash
git clone https://gitea.cowbay.org/openclaw/openclaw-auto-continue.git
cd openclaw-auto-continue
```

Then copy the skill folder into the target machine's OpenClaw skills directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
cp -R openclaw-auto-continue ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/
```

### Option 2: use the packaged `.skill` file

If your target OpenClaw environment already has a skill import/install flow, use:

- `openclaw-auto-continue.skill`

## On the target OpenClaw chat/session

Installing the skill does **not** automatically enable auto-continue for every chat.
You still need to turn it on in the specific chat/session where you want it active:

```text
/ac on
```

Check status:

```text
/ac status
```

Turn it off:

```text
/ac off
```

## What changes after `/ac on`

When enabled, the current session uses followup-style continuation behavior:

- `queueMode = "followup"`
- `queueDebounceMs = 0`
- `queueCap = 1`
- `queueDrop = "summarize"`

Practical effect:
- the agent is more likely to continue into the next low-risk step
- the agent is less likely to stop after every intermediate update
- this is good for multi-step execution in the same chat

## Important boundary

This is **session-scoped**, not global.
If you want it active in a different chat, enable it in that chat too.

It also does **not** bypass:
- approvals
- safety checks
- destructive action confirmation
- user decision points

## For agents

If an OpenClaw agent is deciding how to use this repo:

1. Read `openclaw-auto-continue/SKILL.md`
2. Follow the trigger conditions and command usage there
3. Use `/ac on`, `/ac off`, and `/ac status` in the relevant chat/session

In short:
- `README.md` is the human/operator guide
- `openclaw-auto-continue/SKILL.md` is the agent-facing guide
