openclaw-alignment 2.0.0

Explainable autonomous execution policy engine for OpenClaw workflows

OpenClaw Alignment

Explainable autonomous execution policy engine for low-touch, auditable agent execution

English (Primary) | Chinese (Simplified)

2.0.0 Highlights

• Policy lifecycle: hint -> candidate -> confirmed -> suspended -> archived
• Canonical local storage: .openclaw_memory/policy/
• Policy-first supervision CLI: openclaw-align policy ...
• Stable Python API for confirmation, policy storage, and Markdown conversion/export
• Optional Phase 3 extras remain available through openclaw-alignment[phase3]

Installation

PyPI

python3 -m pip install openclaw-alignment

Optional Phase 3 extras:

python3 -m pip install "openclaw-alignment[phase3]"

Source checkout

git clone https://github.com/412984588/openclaw-alignment.git
cd openclaw-alignment
python3 -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

CLI Entry Points

• openclaw-align: primary console entry point
• openclaw-alignment: compatibility console alias
• python -m openclaw_align: module entry point

Initialize policy memory and inspect the current lifecycle state:

openclaw-align init
openclaw-align analyze
openclaw-align policy status
openclaw-align policy recent

init provisions:

• .openclaw_memory/policy/rules.json
• .openclaw_memory/policy/playbooks.json
• .openclaw_memory/policy/policy_events.jsonl
• .openclaw_memory/USER.md
• .openclaw_memory/SOUL.md
• .openclaw_memory/AGENTS.md

Low-frequency supervision commands:

openclaw-align policy status
openclaw-align policy recent
openclaw-align policy risky
openclaw-align policy suspended
python -m openclaw_align policy status

Public Python API

The lib package exposes the supported policy-facing surface:

from lib import (
    ConfirmationAPI,
    PolicyEvent,
    PolicyStore,
    Playbook,
    Rule,
    MarkdownToPolicyConverter,
    PolicyToMarkdownExporter,
    create_api,
)

• ConfirmationAPI / create_api: runtime confirmation and feedback loop integration
• PolicyStore: canonical policy asset persistence
• Rule, Playbook, PolicyEvent: public policy models
• MarkdownToPolicyConverter: convert Markdown memory into policy assets
• PolicyToMarkdownExporter: export canonical policy assets back to Markdown

Verification

python3 -m pytest tests/ -v
python3 scripts/check_docs_consistency.py
python3 -m ruff check lib tests scripts
python3 -m openclaw_align policy status
openclaw-align policy status

Core Modules

• lib/policy_models.py: canonical Rule, Playbook, and PolicyEvent models
• lib/policy_store.py: canonical PolicyStore and policy asset persistence
• lib/policy_resolution.py: scope inference and precedence resolution
• lib/confirmation.py: runtime truth loop, event recording, and feedback application
• lib/promotion.py: promotion gates for candidate -> confirmed
• lib/demotion.py: suspension, reactivation, and archive gates
• lib/learner.py: weak-hint derivation and strong-evidence aggregation
• lib/api.py: stable confirmation API surface
• lib/cli.py: initialization, status, supervision, export, and inspection commands
• lib/environment.py: interaction environment
  • State: State data class (17 dimensions)
  • Action: Action data class (11 dimensions)
• lib/contracts.py: single source of truth for state and action dimensions

Optional Phase 3 Modules

• lib/distributed_trainer.py
• lib/hyperparameter_tuner.py
• lib/monitoring.py
• lib/performance_optimizer.py

Test Coverage

• Total Tests: 169
• Local Validation: python3 -m pytest tests/ -v
• Coverage Areas: policy lifecycle promotion and suspension, scope precedence, public surface hard cut, canonical policy storage, CLI supervision, confirmation policy, RL core, optional Phase 3 modules, and docs/contract drift guards
