What is MOVA Spec Guide?

The MOVA Spec Guide is a specialized ecosystem skill designed to provide high-fidelity technical support for the MOVA specification language. It serves as an on-demand consultant for developers working within the Openclaw Skills framework, offering deep insights into core components like schemas (ds.), envelopes (env.), verbs, and the operator frame. By bridging the gap between theoretical specification and practical implementation, this skill ensures that every MOVA artifact is syntactically correct and architecturally sound.

Operating with a local-first priority, the guide accesses canonical documentation and JSON schemas directly from the workspace. Whether you are defining instruction profiles, mapping global catalogs, or structuring episodes for pattern memory, the MOVA Spec Guide provides the normative definitions and validation logic required to maintain compliance with MOVA 6.0.0 standards.

MOVA Spec Guide Use Cases

  • Technical validation of JSON drafts against official MOVA schemas to identify violations and required fields.
  • Deep-dive research into MOVA concepts such as action signatures, runtime bindings, and the 13-axis operator frame.
  • Step-by-step guidance for authoring new MOVA artifacts including envelopes and episodes.
  • Looking up shared vocabulary and normative definitions in global catalogs to ensure cross-layer consistency.
  • Mapping abstract operations like verbs and tools to specific execution channels in an AI workflow.

How MOVA Spec Guide Works

  1. The skill identifies the user's intent, such as a concept inquiry, schema lookup, or artifact validation request.
  2. It prioritizes the local workspace spec clone located at /home/mova/.openclaw/workspace/mova-spec/ for low-latency data retrieval.
  3. For canonical updates or shareable links, it cross-references the public GitHub repository for the latest version of the specification.
  4. The skill parses the relevant Markdown documentation or JSON schema file to extract precise, normative definitions.
  5. It provides a structured response containing the technical explanation, cited document sections, and relevant code examples.

MOVA Spec Guide Setup

To utilize this skill, ensure you have the openclaw-mova plugin installed. Clone the MOVA specification repository into your local workspace to enable fast access for Openclaw Skills.

# Install the necessary plugin
openclaw install openclaw-mova

# Ensure the spec is available in the designated workspace path
git clone https://github.com/mova-compact/mova-spec /home/mova/.openclaw/workspace/mova-spec/

MOVA Spec Guide Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill organizes MOVA information into a strict hierarchy to ensure technical accuracy across Openclaw Skills projects:

Data Type File Pattern Purpose
Core Docs docs/*.md Narrative specifications for core, verbs, and security layers.
Schemas schemas/*.schema.json Technical JSON Schema definitions for ds.* and env.* objects.
Catalogs global.*.json Shared vocabularies and global entity mappings.
Examples examples/*.json Practical implementation templates for various MOVA artifacts.

MOVA Spec Guide Advanced Features

  • Artifact Validation: Automatically compares user-provided JSON against target schemas to report specific rule violations.
  • Version-Specific Logic: Full support for MOVA 6.0.0 features, including action signatures and tool-less action definitions (tool_id = 0).
  • Instruction Profile Analysis: Detailed breakdown of declarative policies and guardrail sets for AI executors.
  • Genetic Layer Documentation: Guidance on building pattern memory through structured work records and episodes.
