Mission Preflight for OpenClaw
Mission Preflight is a native OpenClaw plugin designed for one painful reality: most high-value agent work starts with a vague request.
Instead of jumping straight into execution, this plugin helps the agent do a structured preflight pass first:
- detect ambiguity before wasted work starts
- surface missing constraints and hidden assumptions
- stress-test plans before publishing or shipping
- convert messy notes into execution-ready briefs
Why this is useful
A lot of agent failures do not happen because the model is weak. They happen because the task was underspecified. Mission Preflight creates a practical "clarity layer" before execution.
