Description
Persistent reminder system that keeps bugging you until you confirm completion. Use when setting up recurring reminders, nag schedules, or any task that need...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a workspace-based nagger that stores state in memory/nag-state.json and reads nag-config.json. Before installing: 1) Decide how cron jobs will actually deliver messages (e.g., which command or webhook the cron entry will run) and ensure those commands are safe — the SKILL.md leaves delivery implementation to you. 2) Ensure the workspace path used for memory/nag-state.json is not used for sensitive secrets, because the agent will read/write that file. 3) Be aware of false positives from simple substring confirmation matching (choose confirmPatterns carefully). 4) Because the skill can run autonomously by default, disable autonomous invocation if you don't want the agent to issue repeated nags without manual approval. 5) Test with a non-critical reminder first to verify behavior and cron integration. Overall there are no hidden network endpoints, extra credentials, or installer downloads in this package.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nag
Version: 1.0.3
The 'nag' skill is a persistent reminder system that uses local JSON files (nag-config.json and nag-state.json) to track tasks and prompt the user via the OpenClaw heartbeat mechanism. The instructions in SKILL.md and the helper script migrate-heartbeat.sh are transparent, align strictly with the stated functionality, and contain no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the requested artifacts and behavior: the skill only needs workspace files (nag-config.json and memory/nag-state.json), cron jobs, and a heartbeat check to implement persistent reminders. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to read and update workspace files (memory/nag-state.json and nag-config.json) and to add a heartbeat check + cron jobs. This is consistent with the reminder purpose. One minor vagueness: the instructions do not specify how cron jobs should deliver the initial message (e.g., what command or delivery channel the cron should invoke), so the user must decide how reminders are actually posted/sent. Otherwise there are no instructions to access external secrets, system-wide configs, or unrelated data.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec. The only code file is a small helper script that prints the heartbeat block; nothing is downloaded or written by an installer.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external tokens are requested. The skill operates solely on workspace files and cron jobs, which is proportionate to its stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always=false and default autonomous invocation are set. The skill does require the agent to be able to read/write workspace state files (memory/nag-state.json) to track confirmations, which is expected. It does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nag - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nag - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
