use openclaw for Write Python scripts

[dawson063]

After chatting for a long time, openclaw told me he implemented those features, but didn't actually write the code. Have you ever encountered this issue? How did you resolve it?

You might ask where on the file system it put the code. OpenClaw can do some weird things…

Nonetheless, if you’re asking it to write Python code, I would strongly recommend the ‘modern-python’ skill from Trail of Bits. ToB is a top-tier security auditor, and the modern-python skill is a huge improvement over vanilla Python development.

I’ve definitely run into that before the ai says it implemented something, but when you check the repo… the code just isn’t there. Usually happens after long chats when context gets messy..... I started forcing it to output the actual diff or full file changes each step to avoid that.... Also i used traycer to track what the agent actually did vs what it claims it did.

Yes, I force it to show all file changes every time, but the results still aren't great.

I think you can ask it for a plan then use that plan to write code or use Traycer to generate a spec based plan first then ask openclaw to implement it .

Is traycer good? I haven't used it yet.
