Ecosystem Skill — Supports building and managing the MOVA ecosystem. Requires the openclaw-mova plugin.

MOVA User Contract Setup

Walk the user through registering a MOVA-spec contract hosted at their own URL, setting visibility, and running it for the first time — all via MOVA plugin tools.

What this skill does

Collects the contract's source_url and a lightweight manifest (title, version, mode)
Registers the contract at MOVA — MOVA stores only the manifest, the contract body stays at the user's URL
Optionally sets visibility (private → public)
Runs the contract with test inputs and shows the result

When to trigger

Activate when the user:

Says "register my contract", "add my contract", "I have a contract at a URL"
Wants to run a custom contract through MOVA
Asks about user-owned contracts or the contract registry

Before starting, say:

"Let's register your contract with MOVA. I'll need a few details — your contract JSON stays at your URL, MOVA only stores a pointer. Ready?"

Wait for confirmation.

Step 1 — Collect source_url

Ask:

"What is the HTTPS URL to your contract JSON file?"

Requirements:

Must start with https://
Must be a direct link to a JSON file (not a GitHub HTML page)

If the user gives a GitHub repo page URL, help them convert it to a raw URL:

github.com/user/repo/blob/main/contract.json → raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/main/contract.json

Step 2 — Collect manifest fields

Ask these one at a time:

Title — "What is the title of this contract? (e.g. Invoice Approval Agent)"
Version — "What version is it? (e.g. 1.0.0)"
Execution mode — "What is the execution mode?"
- Show options: deterministic / bounded_variance / ai_assisted / human_gated
- If unsure: recommend ai_assisted for most custom contracts
Description (optional) — "Brief description of what this contract does? (press Enter to skip)"
Visibility — "Should this contract be private (only your org) or public (discoverable by all MOVA users)?"

Step 3 — Register

Call tool mova_register_contract with:

source_url: from Step 1
title, version, execution_mode, description: from Step 2
visibility: from Step 2

On success, show:

"✓ Contract registered. ID: [contract_id] Visibility: [visibility]

Your contract body stays at [source_url] — MOVA fetches it on each run."

If error 409 Conflict — a contract with this source_url is already registered. Show the existing contract_id and ask if they want to update visibility or run it instead.

If error 422 on source_url — the URL must use HTTPS with a valid hostname. Ask for a corrected URL.

Step 4 — Optional: change visibility

If the user wants to change visibility after registration:

Call tool mova_set_contract_visibility with:

contract_id: from Step 3
visibility: private or public

Step 5 — Test run

Ask:

"Want to run a test now? I'll execute the contract and show you the result. Do you have input data, or should we try with empty inputs?"

If yes — collect inputs as key-value pairs (ask one at a time if needed).

Call tool mova_run_contract with:

contract_id: from Step 3
inputs: collected or {}

If status: "waiting_human" — the contract has a human gate. Show the analysis and options, then ask the user to choose. Call mova_hitl_decide with the contract_id, chosen option, and reason.

If status: "completed" — show the verdict and output.

If status: "failed" — show the error. Common causes:

Contract JSON doesn't match MOVA spec — the user needs to fix the contract at source_url
Required connector not registered — suggest mova_list_connectors to find the connector and mova_register_connector to set up their endpoint

Step 6 — Check run status (if needed)

If the run is still in progress, call mova_run_status with the run_id to get the latest status.

After setup — show summary

CONTRACT REGISTERED
───────────────────────────────────
ID:           [contract_id]
Title:        [title]
Version:      [version]
Mode:         [execution_mode]
Visibility:   [private/public]
Source URL:   [source_url]

NEXT STEPS
- Run it:        mova_run_contract({ contract_id: "[id]", inputs: {...} })
- Check a run:   mova_run_status({ run_id: "..." })
- List yours:    mova_list_my_contracts()
- Change access: mova_set_contract_visibility({ contract_id: "[id]", visibility: "public" })
- Remove it:     mova_delete_contract({ contract_id: "[id]" })

Rules

NEVER make HTTP requests manually to fetch or validate the contract — use MOVA tools only
NEVER invent contract_id or run_id — they come from tool responses
NEVER skip asking for source_url — it is always required
If the user doesn't know the execution mode, recommend ai_assisted and explain the options
If registration fails, show the exact error — do not guess or retry silently
After a successful run, always show the full output including verdict and any audit receipt
