Gov Apply

/gov_apply

Input

• <NN> must be a two-digit item number, for example 01.

Purpose

Execute:

• prompts/governance/APPLY_UPGRADE_FROM_BOOT.md
• deterministic runner: node {plugin_root}/tools/gov_apply_sync.mjs <NN>

Hard contract

1. If <NN> is missing or invalid, stop and request a two-digit number.
2. If BOOT menu context is missing, stop and request the latest BOOT menu section.
3. Apply only the approved item with deterministic runner (tools/gov_apply_sync.mjs).
4. After apply, run migration/audit flow as required by the apply runner.
5. For OpenClaw system claims during apply, verify against local skill docs and https://docs.openclaw.ai.
   • For latest/version-sensitive claims, also verify official releases https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases.
   • If verification cannot be completed, report uncertainty and required next check; do not infer.
6. For date/time-sensitive claims during apply, verify runtime current time context first (session status).
7. Use runtime <workspace-root> semantics; do not assume fixed home paths.
8. Brain Docs routing:
   • If apply path touches Brain Docs (USER.md, IDENTITY.md, TOOLS.md, SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, memory/*.md), enforce Mode C and require explicit READ evidence before any write.

Output requirements

• Include FILES_READ (exact paths) and TARGET_FILES_TO_CHANGE (exact paths).
• If either field is missing, output BLOCKED (missing read/change evidence) and stop.
• Use this output order for UX consistency:
  1. STATUS
  2. WHY
  3. NEXT STEP (Operator)
  4. COMMAND TO COPY
• Always include a final NEXT STEP (Operator) section.
• After apply completes:
  • primary: /gov_migrate then /gov_audit
  • fallback: /skill gov_migrate then /skill gov_audit
• If apply is BLOCKED:
  • output one clear unblock action and the exact command to retry.

Fallback

• If slash command is unavailable or name-collided, use:
  • /skill gov_apply <NN>
