# claw-score

Use this skill when working on the OpenClaw maturity scorecard in this repo.
This is the openclaw-local version of the maintainer `claw-score` workflow:
it keeps the taxonomy and scorecard concepts, but excludes discrawl and the old
committed `inventory/` report tree.

## Authority

This skill owns the operational workflow for:

- `taxonomy.yaml`
- `qa/maturity-scores.yaml`
- `docs/concepts/qa-e2e-automation.md`
- `qa/scenarios/index.yaml`

Keep person-specific, maintainer-private, Discord archive, and discrawl facts
out of this repo. If a score needs private evidence, use the redacted
`qa-evidence.json` artifact shape generated by OpenClaw QA workflows.

## Source Model

- `taxonomy.yaml` is the hand-edited source of truth for surfaces, levels,
  QA profiles, categories, feature coverage IDs, docs refs, LTS overrides, and
  completeness-instruction paths.
- Feature `coverageIds` are ANDed proof targets, not aliases. A feature may
  list multiple IDs when each ID proves part of one capability.
- Coverage IDs use dotted `namespace.behavior` form, with lowercase
  alphanumeric/dash segments. Profile, surface, and category IDs may remain
  dashed or dotted.
- Keep categories and feature names unique, product-shaped, and broader than raw
  coverage IDs. Do not promote generic IDs into standalone feature names.
- Avoid duplicate coverage-ID bundles under different feature names in one
  category.
- `qa/maturity-scores.yaml` is the committed aggregate source for Quality,
  Completeness, and LTS review state.
- `extensions/qa-lab/src/scorecard-taxonomy.ts` exports
  `qaMaturityScoresSchema` and `readValidatedQaMaturityScoreSources`; use those
  QA Lab utilities to validate score output.
- Generated public docs are `docs/maturity/scorecard.md` and
  `docs/maturity/taxonomy.md`; both come from `pnpm maturity:render`. Do not
  hand-edit generated Markdown to change score results.
- `qa-evidence.json` artifacts provide per-run QA scorecard evidence. Release
  profile artifacts are the source of truth for Coverage. They can enrich
  generated artifact docs, but they are not committed as inventory.

## Commands

Run from the openclaw repo root.

Validate taxonomy YAML structure and the maturity score schema after source
edits:

```bash
node --import tsx --input-type=module <<'NODE'
import fs from "node:fs";
import YAML from "yaml";
import { readValidatedQaMaturityScoreSources } from "./extensions/qa-lab/src/scorecard-taxonomy.ts";

for (const file of ["taxonomy.yaml", "qa/scenarios/index.yaml"]) {
  YAML.parse(fs.readFileSync(file, "utf8"));
}
readValidatedQaMaturityScoreSources();
NODE
```

Check docs when touching docs prose:

```bash
pnpm check:docs
```

Run focused QA/profile checks when changing coverage IDs or profile membership:

```bash
pnpm openclaw qa coverage --json
```

## Scoring Workflow

When asked to score or refresh a surface:

1. Read the surface in `taxonomy.yaml`.
2. Read the surface completeness rubric under
   `.agents/skills/claw-score/references/completeness/`.
3. Gather public repo evidence from docs, source, tests, and QA scenario
   metadata.
4. Prefer existing release profile `qa-evidence.json` artifacts for executed
   proof.
5. Update `qa/maturity-scores.yaml` only for Quality, Completeness, and LTS
   review state backed by public or redacted artifact evidence.
6. Run the schema validation command from this skill.
7. Run `pnpm check:docs` if docs prose changed, and focused QA coverage checks
   if coverage IDs or profile membership changed.

For subjective score changes, make the smallest defensible edit and leave the
evidence path in the PR or task summary. Keep manual prose in current docs and
keep score data in `qa/maturity-scores.yaml`.

## Default Completeness Process

Completeness is scored against the intended operator-visible workflow for each
category, not against test breadth or implementation quality. The completeness
reference files under `references/completeness/` define the category scope and
any surface-specific variation from this default process.

By default, Completeness measures how fully OpenClaw exposes the intended
surface capability set to the user, operator, author, or maintainer persona for
that surface. Score whether each category delivers the full expected workflow,
including setup, normal use, status or inspection, recovery, and important
platform, provider, channel, security, or lifecycle variants where they apply.

Treat `Surface-Specific Scoring Questions` and `Surface-Specific Guidance` as
higher-priority instructions for that surface. The surface instructions may
flesh out, narrow, or intentionally conflict with the default ideas here; when
they do, follow the surface instructions and make the score rationale reflect
that surface-specific instruction. If a reference file does not include
surface-specific questions or guidance, apply this default process to the
surface's `Category Scope`.

For each category, ask:

- Can the intended user or operator complete the category workflow end to end?
- Are the taxonomy features present as supported capabilities rather than
  isolated implementation fragments?
- Are the important lifecycle stages represented: setup, normal operation,
  status/inspection, recovery, and upgrade or removal where relevant?
- Are the important environment, provider, platform, channel, or security
  branches present for this surface?
- Do the known gaps leave major user-visible capability branches missing?

Default guidance:

- Favor higher Completeness when the category supports the full
  operator-visible workflow described by taxonomy and category evidence.
- Lower Completeness when only the happy path exists, when important variants
  are undocumented or unimplemented, or when recovery/status paths are missing.
- Do not lower Completeness because tests are thin; that is Coverage.
- Do not lower Completeness because implementation quality is fragile; that is
  Quality.

Default Completeness bands:

- `Clawesome` (95-100): complete across expected workflows, variants, and
  recovery branches, with only minor polish gaps.
- `Stable` (80-95): the expected workflow set is broadly present, with only
  bounded missing branches.
- `Beta` (70-80): the main workflow exists, but meaningful branches or recovery
  paths are still absent.
- `Alpha` (50-70): only a partial capability set is present; users can complete
  some core tasks but not the full expected workflow.
- `Experimental` (0-50): the category exposes only fragments of the intended
  capability.

## Score Semantics

- Coverage: deterministic release validation coverage derived from the release
  profile `qa-evidence.json.scorecard` feature fulfillment data.
- Quality: reliability, maintainability, operator safety, and regression
  confidence for the category.
- Completeness: how much of the intended operator-visible workflow exists for
  the category. Use the default completeness process plus any surface-specific
  variation before changing this score.
- LTS: derived from Quality, release-evidence Coverage, and
  `human_lts_override`; do not hand-edit generated Markdown to change LTS
  status.

Bands:

- `Clawesome`: 95-100
- `Stable`: 80-95
- `Beta`: 70-80
- `Alpha`: 50-70
- `Experimental`: 0-50

## Artifacts

Do not add the maintainer repo's `docs/kevinslin/maturity-scorecard/inventory/`
tree to openclaw. Evidence-enriched scorecard outputs belong in short-lived
artifacts, not committed generated docs, unless this repo adds an explicit
renderer/check workflow first.
