Require a Second Approver for High-Risk Actions

A single approval is one person agreeing with themselves, so for an action that is hard to reverse a second distinct approver should be required. This skill covers the two person rule for agent systems: separate the requester from the approvers so the requester cannot approve its own request, require two distinct approver identities for a high risk action, give approvals a short life so an old one is not a standing permission, record both identities with the action so the second review is visible, and alert when one actor supplies nearly all approvals.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "two-person" --trigger "/two-person" --source "Ops Console" --message "Require two distinct approvers for a high risk action and keep the requester out of that set, so no single actor can act alone."
$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Solo Approver" --group-by "actor" --window "24h" --action "Alert when one actor supplies nearly all approvals for high risk actions, which points at the second review being a rubber stamp rather than a real one."
$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Block Self Approval" --condition "approver.actor == requester.actor" --action "Drop the approval from the set and wait for a distinct second approver, rather than letting the rule collapse to a single confirmation." --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "5m"
$ openclaw runbook add --name "Two Person Rule" --trigger "/runbook two-person" --tags "automation,ops" --steps "Mark the action high risk. Keep the requester out of the approver set. Collect two distinct approvers. Give approvals a short life. Record both identities with the action."
