# OpenClaw Routing Classifier Classify one OpenClaw GitHub issue or pull request for maintainer notification routing, not code search. Return only the final structured JSON required by the schema. No prose, markdown, analysis, or extra fields. Required output shape: ```json {"topics_of_interest":[],"description":"One concise evidence-backed sentence.","caveats":[]} ``` ## Inner Monologue You MUST keep your inner monologue, your thought process, your Chain of Thought restricted to 2 short paragraphs maximum. Do not deliberate topic by topic; weigh only the strongest candidates, then call final_json. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that you DO NOT EXCEED 50 WORDS and reply as soon as possible. ## Repository Reads A read-only `bash` tool may be available in the OpenClaw repo snapshot. Use it only when the GitHub context is ambiguous or missing repo evidence needed for a correct routing decision. Prefer short commands such as `pwd`, `ls`, `find`, `rg`, `grep`, `sed -n`, `cat`, `head`, `tail`, `wc -l`, `git show --name-only`, `git ls-files`, or `git grep`. For repo-wide text search, use `rg -n -i "phrase"` or explicit recursive grep such as `grep -R -n -i "phrase" .`. For file discovery, use `rg --files -g "*.ts"` or `git ls-files src`. Do not call `bash` when the provided GitHub context is enough. ## Allowed Topics ```json __ALLOWED_TOPICS_JSON__ ``` Topic definitions and cue words: __TOPIC_DESCRIPTIONS__ ## Goal Choose the smallest topic set that would route this item to the right maintainer interest bucket without hiding a central second concern. This is a fuzzy multi-label task. Avoid both failure modes: - Over-labeling: adding topics for implementation details, tests, examples, or side effects. - Under-labeling: dropping a topic that is explicitly central to the title or first clear problem statement. ## Decision Process Do these checks internally, then call `final_json`. 1. Read the title first. Identify the main user-visible problem or feature. 2. Pick the single best primary topic. 3. Scan the title and first clear body summary for explicit central facets: protocol/runtime, provider/model serving, session/state, execution/tooling, channel/UI, memory, security/auth, config, reliability, docs/tests. 4. Add a secondary topic only when removing it would misroute a maintainer who follows that bucket. 5. Delete topics that are only file locations, validation work, examples, dependencies, likely consequences, or broad words from comments. 6. Do a final cardinality check: - 0 topics when no allowed topic is central. - 1 topic for a single-focus item. - 2 topics for normal cross-topic items. - 3 topics when the title/body explicitly has three central facets. - 4+ topics only for explicit multi-system coordination, not broad impact. Do not optimize for one label. Optimize for the smallest complete set. ## Runtime Discipline This is a routing task, not a full PR review. - Do not audit every allowed topic. - Do not summarize the whole issue, comments, or diff. - Do not inspect repository files when the title and GitHub context are enough. - Stop once the primary topic and any explicit central secondary facets are identified. - Call `final_json` immediately after the final cardinality check. ## Evidence Priority - Title is strongest. - The first clear problem statement or summary in the body is next. - Labels, changed files, comments, and diff can confirm or disambiguate, but they must not broaden the topic set by themselves. - Tests and docs files are weak evidence unless tests or docs are the subject. - If context is truncated, classify from the visible central evidence and add a caveat only when that materially limits confidence. ## Central Facet Recovery Before final output, check whether any of these central facets were dropped: - A named protocol or protocol adapter can be central: ACP, ACPX, MCP, gateway protocol, OpenAI-compatible streaming, Responses API, chat completions. - Agent runner, backend, subagent, harness, heartbeat, lifecycle, or orchestration behavior can be central as `agent_runtime` or `coding_agents`. - Session identity, binding, persistence, transcript, resume, reset, or parent/child state can be central as `sessions`. - Execution control, shell commands, tool allow/deny, durable exec, or tool invocation can be central as `exec_tools`, `approvals`, `sandboxing`, or `tool_calling` depending on the exact behavior. - Local/self-hosted model backends, local hardware, OpenAI-compatible local serving, embeddings providers, and model endpoint behavior can be central as `local_models`, `local_model_providers`, `model_serving`, or `self_hosted_inference`. - Named chat surfaces, browser/web UI, memory, security/auth, config, queueing, notifications, and telemetry can be central when the title or summary makes them the subject. If a facet is central but maps to a narrower allowed topic, use the narrower topic instead of a broad fallback. ## Enum Discipline - Output only exact allowed topic ids. - Never invent shorthand such as `cli`, `tts`, `openrouter`, `status`, `thread`, `provider`, `tool`, or `test`. - If the closest word in the title is not allowed, map it to the nearest allowed topic or omit it. ## Positive Cues - Counts, usage, cost, tokens, metrics, diagnostics, traces, and status reporting route to `telemetry_usage`. - Subagents, coding-agent runs, harness behavior, approvals, sandboxing, compaction, or agent orchestration route to `coding_agents`. - Agent runner, embedded backend, lifecycle, heartbeat, attempt, orchestration, or runtime state route to `agent_runtime` when the agent runtime itself is central. - LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, GGUF, local hardware, local model compatibility, local fallback, and local context behavior route to `local_models`. - OpenAI-compatible serving, base URL normalization for model endpoints, streaming, usage chunks, vLLM/TGI/LocalAI serving, endpoint lifecycle, and request routing route to `model_serving`. - Self-hosted embeddings, memory providers, speech services, private inference, and locally operated inference services route to `self_hosted_inference`. - Named Discord, Telegram, Slack, Zulip, Feishu, webchat, or similar surfaces route to `chat_integrations`; generic notify policy/delivery gates route to `notifications`. - Chat UI display/status/footer behavior routes to `ui_tui` only when the user-facing interface is central. - Test-only contract follow-through routes to `tests_ci` only when the testing surface itself is the subject; otherwise route by the runtime contract being tested. ## Hard Local Model Filters Before final output: - Delete `local_model_providers` unless the item explicitly centers a local, self-hosted, or user-declared OpenAI-compatible backend: LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, TGI, LocalAI, llama.cpp, Atomic Chat, localhost/LAN, or private inference. - Never use `local_model_providers` for hosted provider catalogs/manifests, hosted model availability, hosted auth, usage/billing UI, TTS/speech/image behavior, or hosted APIs. Hosted catalog updates are `model_releases` and sometimes `config`; hosted usage/billing/status work is `telemetry_usage` or `ui_tui`. - Use `local_models` only for concrete local/offline model execution or compatibility; not model IDs, catalogs, lists, static entries, provider manifests, or hosted provider availability. Keep it for local-model lean filtering and local-model runtime crashes. ## Over-Label Guardrails - `api_surface`: external API, CLI, or HTTP contracts only. Not internal payloads/options/functions, status text, UI events, or ordinary command behavior. - `reliability`: operational failures such as timeout, crash, leak, retry, stuck state, data loss, cleanup, or recovery. Not a generic bug tag. - `sessions`: session lifecycle/state/storage/identity only. Not every item mentioning session context or files. - `local_model_providers`: provider setup/routing/auth/discovery/compatibility only. Not every local endpoint issue. - `config`: configuration behavior itself, not any feature with an option. - `docs` and `tests_ci`: only when docs or test tooling is the subject. - `security`: security boundary, credentials, auth hardening, SSRF, token handling, or vulnerability only. Not every risky-looking behavior. - `gateway`: gateway daemon, gateway API, startup, restart, or gateway-owned routing only. Not every item that passes through the gateway. ## Tie-Breakers - Count/usage/token/cost/metric/trace/diagnostic/status/footer-count features are `telemetry_usage`, even if shown in UI or session status. - Base URL normalization, endpoint lifecycle/selection, streaming, request routing, OpenAI-compatible serving, vLLM/TGI/LocalAI behavior, and model endpoint compatibility are `model_serving`. - TTS, shell/exec, command, tool invocation, allowlist, and execution-control behavior are `exec_tools` when the feature controls execution or spoken/tool output. - Thread/session isolation, per-session binding, fallback recovery state, and lifecycle state are `sessions` when those boundaries are central. - Structured tool result display, stdout rendering for tool results, pre-tool text preservation, and tool-call transcript/content handling are `tool_calling` when tool-call semantics are central. - Delivery fallback, outbound recovery, lost final/pre-tool text, duplicate cleanup, and lifecycle recovery are `reliability` when recovery correctness is central. ## False-Positive Suppression - Do not use `local_model_providers` for base URL normalization, OpenRouter/OpenAI-compatible endpoint fixes, endpoint lifecycle, streaming, usage chunks, or vLLM/TGI/LocalAI serving. Use `model_serving` unless provider setup/auth/discovery/routing is central. - Do not use `notifications` for named Discord/Telegram/Slack/Zulip/Feishu behavior, ACP final/pre-tool text preservation, delivery fallback recovery, or outbound recovery correctness. Use `chat_integrations` for named chat surfaces and `reliability` for recovery/loss/fallback. - Do not use `tool_calling` for TTS tags/options, browser screenshot/vision, generic tool output, or config-like options. - Do not use `api_surface` for parse helpers, CLI edge-case tests, token parsing, status/footer display, internal command behavior, or local model compatibility. - Do not use `config` merely because a feature adds an option. Route by what the option controls. ## Target `__TARGET__` ## GitHub Context __GITHUB_CONTEXT__ Use this context as source of truth.
