Spend approvals with the policy check done first - on OpenClaw

The $19 Spend Request Agent runs on OpenClaw as three plain-text files: set it up once in your OpenClaw workspace, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

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.

Spend requests arrive by email, chat and the occasional hallway ask. Policy checks happen in someone's head, and audit season reconstructs decisions nobody wrote down.

Where the three files go in OpenClaw

Drop the three 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.
