長期指令會授予你的代理程式針對已定義方案的永久操作權限。你不必每次都給出個別任務指示,而是以明確範圍、觸發條件與升級規則來定義方案,代理程式便會在這些邊界內自主執行。
這就像是每週五都告訴助理「寄出週報」,與授予長期權限之間的差別:「週報由你負責。每週五彙整、寄出,只有在看起來有問題時才升級處理。」
為什麼需要長期指令
沒有長期指令時:
- 你必須為每個任務提示代理程式
- 代理程式會在請求之間閒置
- 例行工作會被遺忘或延誤
- 你會成為瓶頸
有長期指令時:
- 代理程式會在已定義邊界內自主執行
- 例行工作會按排程自動完成,無需提示
- 你只需介入例外狀況與核准
- 代理程式會有效利用閒置時間
運作方式
長期指令會定義在你的代理程式工作區檔案中。建議做法是直接放在 AGENTS.md(每個工作階段都會自動注入)中,讓代理程式永遠能在脈絡中取得這些指令。對於較大型的設定,你也可以將它們放在專用檔案中,例如 standing-orders.md,並從 AGENTS.md 參照。
每個方案會指定:
- 範圍 - 代理程式被授權執行的事項
- 觸發條件 - 何時執行(排程、事件或條件)
- 核准關卡 - 行動前需要人工簽核的事項
- 升級規則 - 何時停止並尋求協助
代理程式會透過工作區啟動檔案在每個工作階段載入這些指令(自動注入檔案的完整清單請參閱代理程式工作區),並結合 cron jobs 進行時間型執行。
將長期指令放在 AGENTS.md 中,以保證每個工作階段都會載入。工作區啟動程序會自動注入 AGENTS.md、SOUL.md、TOOLS.md、IDENTITY.md、USER.md、HEARTBEAT.md、BOOTSTRAP.md 與 MEMORY.md,但不會注入子目錄中的任意檔案。
長期指令的結構
## Program: Weekly Status Report
**Authority:** Compile data, generate report, deliver to stakeholders
**Trigger:** Every Friday at 4 PM (enforced via cron job)
**Approval gate:** None for standard reports. Flag anomalies for human review.
**Escalation:** If data source is unavailable or metrics look unusual (>2σ from norm)
### Execution steps
1. Pull metrics from configured sources
2. Compare to prior week and targets
3. Generate report in Reports/weekly/YYYY-MM-DD.md
4. Deliver summary via configured channel
5. Log completion to Agent/Logs/
### What NOT to do
- Do not send reports to external parties
- Do not modify source data
- Do not skip delivery if metrics look bad - report accurately
長期指令加上 cron jobs
長期指令定義代理程式被授權做什麼。Cron jobs 定義事情在何時發生。兩者會一起運作:
Standing Order: "You own the daily inbox triage"
↓
Cron Job (8 AM daily): "Execute inbox triage per standing orders"
↓
Agent: Reads standing orders → executes steps → reports results
Cron job 提示應參照長期指令,而不是重複其內容:
openclaw cron add \
--name daily-inbox-triage \
--cron "0 8 * * 1-5" \
--tz America/New_York \
--timeout-seconds 300 \
--announce \
--channel imessage \
--to "+1XXXXXXXXXX" \
--message "Execute daily inbox triage per standing orders. Check mail for new alerts. Parse, categorize, and persist each item. Report summary to owner. Escalate unknowns."
範例 1:內容與社群媒體(每週週期)
## Program: Content & Social Media
**Authority:** Draft content, schedule posts, compile engagement reports
**Approval gate:** All posts require owner review for first 30 days, then standing approval
**Trigger:** Weekly cycle (Monday review → mid-week drafts → Friday brief)
### Weekly cycle
- **Monday:** Review platform metrics and audience engagement
- **Tuesday-Thursday:** Draft social posts, create blog content
- **Friday:** Compile weekly marketing brief → deliver to owner
### Content rules
- Voice must match the brand (see SOUL.md or brand voice guide)
- Never identify as AI in public-facing content
- Include metrics when available
- Focus on value to audience, not self-promotion
範例 2:財務作業(事件觸發)
## Program: Financial Processing
**Authority:** Process transaction data, generate reports, send summaries
**Approval gate:** None for analysis. Recommendations require owner approval.
**Trigger:** New data file detected OR scheduled monthly cycle
### When new data arrives
1. Detect new file in designated input directory
2. Parse and categorize all transactions
3. Compare against budget targets
4. Flag: unusual items, threshold breaches, new recurring charges
5. Generate report in designated output directory
6. Deliver summary to owner via configured channel
### Escalation rules
- Single item > $500: immediate alert
- Category > budget by 20%: flag in report
- Unrecognizable transaction: ask owner for categorization
- Failed processing after 2 retries: report failure, do not guess
範例 3:監控與警示(持續)
## Program: System Monitoring
**Authority:** Check system health, restart services, send alerts
**Approval gate:** Restart services automatically. Escalate if restart fails twice.
**Trigger:** Every heartbeat cycle
### Checks
- Service health endpoints responding
- Disk space above threshold
- Pending tasks not stale (>24 hours)
- Delivery channels operational
### Response matrix
| Condition | Action | Escalate? |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| Service down | Restart automatically | Only if restart fails 2x |
| Disk space < 10% | Alert owner | Yes |
| Stale task > 24h | Remind owner | No |
| Channel offline | Log and retry next cycle | If offline > 2 hours |
執行、驗證、回報模式
長期指令搭配嚴格的執行紀律時效果最好。長期指令中的每個任務都應遵循此迴圈:
- 執行 - 完成實際工作(不要只是確認收到指示)
- 驗證 - 確認結果正確(檔案存在、訊息已送達、資料已解析)
- 回報 - 告訴擁有者完成了什麼,以及驗證了什麼
### Execution rules
- Every task follows Execute-Verify-Report. No exceptions.
- "I'll do that" is not execution. Do it, then report.
- "Done" without verification is not acceptable. Prove it.
- If execution fails: retry once with adjusted approach.
- If still fails: report failure with diagnosis. Never silently fail.
- Never retry indefinitely - 3 attempts max, then escalate.
這個模式能防止最常見的代理程式失敗模式:確認收到任務,卻沒有完成。
多方案架構
對於管理多個關注領域的代理程式,請將長期指令組織成邊界清楚的獨立方案:
## Program 1: [Domain A] (Weekly)
...
## Program 2: [Domain B] (Monthly + On-Demand)
...
## Program 3: [Domain C] (As-Needed)
...
## Escalation Rules (All Programs)
- [Common escalation criteria]
- [Approval gates that apply across programs]
每個方案都應具備:
- 自己的觸發節奏(每週、每月、事件驅動、持續)
- 自己的核准關卡(某些方案比其他方案需要更多監督)
- 清楚的邊界(代理程式應知道一個方案在哪裡結束,另一個方案從哪裡開始)
最佳實務
- 從狹窄權限開始,隨著信任建立再擴大
- 為高風險行動定義明確的核准關卡
- 包含「不要做什麼」區段,邊界與權限同樣重要
- 搭配 cron jobs,以可靠執行時間型任務
- 每週檢閱代理程式記錄,確認長期指令正在被遵循
- 隨著需求演進更新長期指令,它們是活文件
- 第一天就授予寬泛權限(「做你認為最好的事」)
- 省略升級規則,每個方案都需要「何時停止並詢問」條款
- 假設代理程式會記得口頭指示,請把所有內容寫進檔案
- 在單一方案中混合多種關注事項,不同領域應使用不同方案
- 忘記使用 cron jobs 強制執行,沒有觸發條件的長期指令只會變成建議
