Spend Request Agent for OpenClaw - approvals with the policy check done first

What the Spend Request Agent does

With OpenClaw, this agent meets you in the chat app you already live in. It normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status. Approvals become one review, not a reconstruction.

Unrecorded approvals are next year's audit problem. This assistant structures each request as it arrives, checks it against your written policy, lists missing evidence, and drafts the response - with the decision trail saved per request. Hallway asks become a queue you can actually clear.

Where the Included files go in OpenClaw

Drop the Included files into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at skill.md, then run the setup prompt over your usual chat channel. OpenClaw keeps its workspace persistent, so the agent's rules survive between asks, and its approval style matches the agents' stop-at-human-gates design.

What a run looks like on OpenClaw

A run looks like this: you message OpenClaw on your usual channel with this run's inputs, and it works through spend-approvals from the workspace skill. The output - it normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status - comes back in chat for your approval.

Setup, step by step

  1. Drop skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at the skill file.
  2. Run the setup prompt over your usual chat channel (WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Telegram, Discord).
  3. The agent runs spend-approvals on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. OpenClaw keeps its workspace persistent and its approval style matches the agent's stop-at-human-gates design: each real run is one message with this run's inputs.
