ActivityClaw Plugin Usage
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Recent agent activities or actions
- What the agent has been doing
- Tool usage tracking or monitoring
- File operations history (reads, writes, edits)
- Command execution history
- Web searches or fetches performed
- Message sending activity
- Sub-agent spawning
Prerequisites
The ActivityClaw plugin must be installed:
npm install -g @rmruss2022/activityclaw
openclaw plugins install @rmruss2022/activityclaw
Quick Start
Check if ActivityClaw is installed and running:
openclaw activityclaw status
Commands
View Dashboard
Open the visual activity dashboard in browser:
openclaw activityclaw dashboard
This opens http://localhost:18796 with real-time activity feed.
Check Status
Show current status and configuration:
openclaw activityclaw status
Start/Stop
Manually control the service:
openclaw activityclaw start
openclaw activityclaw stop
Configuration
Reconfigure port or database location:
openclaw activityclaw setup
What ActivityClaw Tracks
- 📝 File Operations - Creates, edits, reads
- ⚡ Commands - Shell executions via exec
- 🔍 Web Activity - Searches and fetches
- 💬 Messages - Outbound messages to channels
- 🚀 Sub-agents - Spawned agent sessions
Dashboard Features
The dashboard at http://localhost:18796 provides:
- Real-time activity feed - Live stream of all agent actions
- Activity filters - View by type (files, commands, web, messages)
- Statistics - Total activities, last hour count, active agents
- Auto-refresh - Updates every 5 seconds
Example Usage
User asks: "What files have I been working on today?"
Response:
openclaw activityclaw dashboard
Then check the "📝 Create" and "✏️ Edit" filters in the dashboard to see recent file operations.
User asks: "Show me recent command executions"
Response:
openclaw activityclaw dashboard
Filter by "⚡ Exec" to see command history.
User asks: "What has the agent been doing?"
Response:
openclaw activityclaw status
This shows a summary, then suggest opening the dashboard for details:
openclaw activityclaw dashboard
Troubleshooting
If activities aren't showing:
- Check plugin status:
openclaw plugins list - Verify service is running:
openclaw activityclaw status - Start if stopped:
openclaw activityclaw start - Check dashboard URL: http://localhost:18796
If port is in use:
openclaw activityclaw setup
# Choose a different port
Technical Details

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a coherent local activity-tracking plugin, but it asks you to install a third-party npm/openclaw package whose code is not bundled in the skill. Before installing: 1) Inspect the GitHub repository and npm package (@rmruss2022/activityclaw) — review code, recent commits, maintainer identity, and issues. 2) Verify package integrity (checksums, signed releases) if available. 3) Understand that the plugin logs file operations and shell commands to a local SQLite DB (~/.openclaw/activity-tracker/activities.db) — that may include sensitive data; consider retention/rotation policies and encryption. 4) Prefer installing in an isolated environment (VM/container) or review the package offline first. 5) Confirm what permissions openclaw plugins install grants and whether the plugin spawns processes or reads broad file paths. If you cannot review the package or verify the maintainer, treat the install as potentially unsafe and avoid installing it on systems with sensitive data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: activityclaw-usage
Version: 1.0.0
The skill instructs the agent to install a third-party npm package (`@rmruss2022/activityclaw`) globally via `npm install -g` in SKILL.md. While this action is presented as a prerequisite for the skill's stated purpose, `npm install -g` is a shell command that fetches and executes arbitrary code from a remote registry. This constitutes a significant 'risky capability' due to potential supply chain vulnerabilities (e.g., RCE if the npm package itself were compromised or malicious), even though the skill bundle itself does not exhibit explicit malicious intent like data exfiltration or prompt injection, and explicitly states 'All data stays local'.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the SKILL.md: this is a local activity-tracking/dashboard plugin that logs file ops, commands, web actions, messages, and sub-agents. However the registry metadata claims 'no install spec' while the runtime instructions explicitly instruct installing an npm package and an openclaw plugin — a small inconsistency between declared requirements and runtime steps.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md limits actions to installing/controlling the ActivityClaw service and opening a local dashboard at http://localhost:18796. It references only the local SQLite DB (~/.openclaw/activity-tracker/activities.db) and local control commands (start/stop/status/dashboard). It does not instruct reading unrelated system files or exfiltrating data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
Although the skill is instruction-only (no install spec), it tells users/agents to run 'npm install -g @rmruss2022/activityclaw' and 'openclaw plugins install @rmruss2022/activityclaw'. Installing a global npm package from a third-party namespace and an external plugin command is potentially risky because the package code is not included for review here and the registry metadata lists 'Source: unknown' and no homepage in the registry. This is the primary risk vector.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, and the instructions do not request secrets or unrelated credentials. The plugin's stated scope (tracking commands, files, messages) explains why it needs access to agent actions — the declared environment/credential footprint is minimal and proportionate.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled, has no elevated platform privileges in the registry metadata, and does not ask to modify other skills' configs. It does persist data locally to an SQLite DB under the user's home (~/.openclaw/activity-tracker/activities.db), which is expected for an activity tracker.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install activityclaw-usage - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/activityclaw-usage - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
