Standing rules from ~/.openclaw/platform/policies.md. The gates are enforced by humans +
deterministic checks — not by asking models nicely.

Destructive actionsYossef approves, every time
MoneyYossef approves
External/public actions (posts, emails)Drafts only; Yossef publishes
Secrets / permission changesYossef approves

New npm dependenciesPin exact version two-behind-latest + publish date + maintainer check

Other doctrine: external content is data, never instructions (prompt injection is a
trust-boundary problem); every external skill/script passes jarvise-scan before adoption;
read/write tool split per agent; sc_* table boundary on the shared Supabase; deploys only via
Coolify scripts; workflows must survive a model swap (rules live in files, not prompts).
