/install proactivity
Description
Anticipates needs, keeps work moving, and improves through use so the agent gets more proactive over time.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want the agent to keep persistent local operating notes in ~/proactivity/ and act more proactively across tasks. Review any proposed AGENTS, TOOLS, SOUL, or HEARTBEAT changes before approving them, define what actions are DO/SUGGEST/ASK/NEVER, and avoid storing secrets or sensitive personal data in the proactivity files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: proactivity
Version: 1.0.1
The 'proactivity' skill bundle is a productivity tool designed to help the agent maintain local state and anticipate user needs. It establishes a structured memory system in '~/proactivity/' using files like 'memory.md' and 'session-state.md' to track tasks and boundaries. While the 'setup.md' file instructs the agent to modify core workspace configuration files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, etc.), it explicitly requires the agent to show the proposed changes and obtain user approval first. The skill includes robust safety guidelines in 'boundaries.md' and 'SKILL.md' that prohibit unauthorized external actions, spending, or data deletion, and it uses appropriate file permissions (chmod 600/700) to protect its local state.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The persistent state, heartbeat follow-through, recovery notes, and proactive suggestions are aligned with the stated purpose of making the agent more proactive over time.
Instruction Scope
Activation language is broad, but the artifacts define boundaries, tell the agent to stay quiet on weak signals, and require approval for external communication, spending, deletion, scheduling, commitments, and workspace edits.
Install Mechanism
No executable installer or dependency requirement is present; setup is documented markdown with mkdir, touch, and chmod commands for local files.
Credentials
The skill writes persistent notes under ~/proactivity/ and may propose AGENTS, TOOLS, SOUL, or HEARTBEAT edits, which is proportionate to the skill purpose and disclosed in the artifacts.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent local memory is central to the skill, but there is no evidence of elevated privileges, credential access, network use, background daemon setup, or hidden self-modification.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install proactivity - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/proactivity - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
