Executing Plans

The Loop

For each step:

1. Read the step carefully
2. Do exactly what the step says
3. Verify the step is complete
4. Mark it done: [x]
5. Continue to next step

Rules

• Stay on task. Note other issues, do not fix them mid-step.
• Verify before continuing. 'I think that worked' is not verification.
• Handle failures explicitly. Stop and diagnose before retrying.

OpenClaw Checkpointing

At checkpoint steps, update memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md with:

• Which steps are done
• Current state of the work
• Any decisions made
• Next step to resume from
