 ## GitHub / PRs
 
 - Use `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` immediately for maintainer-side OpenClaw issue/PR review, triage, duplicates, labels, comments, close, land, or evidence. Contributor PR creation/refresh follows the requested contributor workflow; linked refs alone do not require maintainer archive tooling.
-- Pasted GitHub issue/PR: first `git status -sb`; if dirty, yell; then `git push` + `git pull --ff-only`.
+- Issue/PR start: `git status -sb`; if clean, `git pull --ff-only`; if dirty, yell before pull/rebase.
 - PR refs: `gh pr view/diff` or `gh api`, not web search. Prefer `gitcrawl` for maintainer discovery; missing/stale `gitcrawl` falls through to live `gh`, not contributor setup. Verify live with `gh` before mutation.
-- Bare issue/PR URL/number means review/report in chat. Suggest comment/close/merge when appropriate; mutate only when asked.
+- Bare issue/PR URL/number: inspect live and take the efficient maintainer path; switch branches/refs when useful.
 - No unsolicited PR labels/retitles/rebases/fixups/landing. Comments/reviews ok only for reviewable findings, pre-merge proof, or close/duplicate reason after explicit close/sweep/landing request.
 - Maintainer decision closes the cluster: if deciding reported behavior/proposed fix is not planned, comment+close all directly associated open issues/PRs unless explicitly told to keep one open. Associated means linked PRs/issues, duplicates, companion workaround PRs, and the canonical issue for the rejected behavior.
 - Do not leave associated issues open for hypothetical future repros. Close with rationale; ask for a new issue or reopen only if concrete new evidence appears. Close comment states: decision, why, supported alternative, and what evidence would change the decision.

 - PR create: real body required. Include Summary + Verification; mention refs, behavior, and proof.
 - PR create/refresh: keep PR branches takeover-ready. Use a branch maintainers can push to, or for fork PRs ensure `maintainer_can_modify` / GitHub's `Allow edits by maintainers` is enabled unless explicitly told otherwise or GitHub's Actions/secrets warning makes that unsafe.
 - GitHub issue/PR create: read `$agent-transcript`; ask about sanitized transcript logs when available.
-- Real behavior proof section is parsed. Use exact `field: value` labels: `Behavior addressed`, `Real environment tested`, `Exact steps or command run after this patch`, `Evidence after fix`, `Observed result after fix`, `What was not tested`.
+- Contributor PRs: parsed `Real behavior proof` uses exact `field: value` labels: `Behavior addressed`, `Real environment tested`, `Exact steps or command run after this patch`, `Evidence after fix`, `Observed result after fix`, `What was not tested`.
 - PR artifacts/screenshots: attach to PR/comment/external artifact store. Never push screenshots, videos, proof images, or proof assets to OpenClaw or any product repo branch, including temp artifact branches. Use Crabbox artifact publishing plus the manifest URL. Do not commit `.github/pr-assets`.
 - CI polling: exact SHA, relevant checks only, minimal fields. Skip routine noise (`Auto response`, `Labeler`, docs agents, performance/stale). Logs only after failure/completion or concrete need.
-- Maintainers: may skip/ignore `Real behavior proof` when local tests or Crabbox verified behavior; record proof in PR verification.
+- OpenClaw write-access maintainers may skip `Real behavior proof` when local tests or Crabbox verified behavior; record proof in PR verification.
 - `/landpr`: use `~/.codex/prompts/landpr.md`; do not idle on `auto-response` or `check-docs`.
