Let Records Expire on a Clock You Control

State that never expires grows until it is a problem, but a record that vanishes earlier than its reader expects breaks work that depended on it. This skill covers expiry for agent records: give every kind of record a time to live that matches how long anything actually needs it, expire on a clock the system controls rather than on a reader, sweep expired records on a schedule, and alert when the sweep falls behind so growth is seen before the store fills.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "ttl-report" --trigger "/ttl" --source "Ops Console" --message "Report the time to live set on each kind of record and how much has expired, so growth is seen before the store fills."
$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Sweep Behind" --group-by "store" --window "1h" --action "Alert when the expiry sweep falls behind the rate of new records, which points at a store that is growing faster than it is being cleared."
$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Sweep Expired" --condition "record.age > record.ttl" --action "Remove the expired record on the schedule, rather than letting state that nothing needs grow without limit." --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "20m"
$ openclaw runbook add --name "Expiry" --trigger "/runbook expiry" --tags "advanced,ops" --steps "Set a time to live per record kind. Expire on the system clock. Sweep on a schedule. Alert when the sweep falls behind. Never let a reader decide."
