Self Improver Lite

Goal

Continuously improve reliability without risky autonomous changes.

Trigger Cases

• Bot is silent or unstable
• Same error appears repeatedly (rate_limit, orphaned, timeout, sendMessage failed)
• After major config updates
• Scheduled weekly health review

Audit Steps

1. Collect evidence:

systemctl is-active openclaw-gateway ollama
journalctl -u openclaw-gateway -n 120 --no-pager

2. Group failures by pattern and count.
3. Identify top 1-3 root causes.
4. Propose minimal, reversible fixes.
5. Apply only low-risk fixes automatically.
6. Record summary and next actions.

Auto-Allowed Changes

• Session cleanup when orphaned user message loops
• Gateway restart for stuck polling
• Context window/maxTokens tuning within known-safe ranges
• Fallback chain reordering (no key changes)

Requires Explicit User Approval

• New API provider onboarding
• Social network account actions
• Financial/crypto operations
• Credential rotation or deletion
• Any destructive file cleanup beyond sessions/log rotation

Weekly Review Template

## Weekly Self-Audit
- Period: <dates>
- Uptime notes: <short>

### Top Errors
1. <error> — <count>
2. <error> — <count>

### Changes Applied
- <change 1>
- <change 2>

### Measured Impact
- Response latency: <before -> after>
- Failed runs: <before -> after>

### Next Improvements
- <single highest-impact next step>

Guardrails

• Never expose secrets in reports.
• Always keep a rollback path (backup old config before edits).
• Prefer one change per cycle to keep causality clear.
