Use this template when starting any silent long-task.

Required interpretation
why_silent
Explain why the task will not naturally produce an immediate next user-visible reply.
expected_evidence
State what would count as real progress:
- file change
- verification output
- conclusion / decision
- blocker change
- external result
first_forced_checkpoint_trigger
Examples:
- in 20 minutes
- after subagent survey returns
- after first debugging pass
- when verification round 1 completes
if_unfinished_report
Must explicitly say what the assistant will report if the task is not done yet.
externalized_trigger
Examples:
- cron reminder in 20 minutes
- forced checkpoint scheduled externally
- non-silent mode (if no external trigger can safely be bound, the task should not actually launch as silent)
final_handoff_path
Examples:
- Telegram button-path
- direct conclusion if no owner decision needed
Telegram-safe example
- task_name: Research OpenClawGovernor concepts
- why_silent: I need time to read and compare materials before a meaningful summary exists.
- current_status:
active - current_step: reading README and architecture notes
- next_step: extract reusable governance ideas
- expected_evidence: concrete findings, comparison points, conclusions
- first_forced_checkpoint_trigger: after initial source review completes
- if_unfinished_report: report what has been verified so far, what remains unclear, and the next report condition
- if_no_new_evidence:
paused - externalized_trigger: cron reminder / forced checkpoint
- final_handoff_path: Telegram button-path only if owner judgement is needed; otherwise direct summary
Rule of use
If you cannot fill this template honestly, the task is probably not ready to launch in silent mode.
