Description
Push persistent visual views (charts, metrics, lists, progress bars) to MoltenView Mac app. Use when agent output benefits from visual display that persists...
Usage Guidance
This skill simply documents how to send JSON to a MoltenView Unix socket to create persistent UI elements in the MoltenView Mac app. It doesn't ask for secrets or install code. Before installing, confirm you (or your agent) actually use MoltenView on macOS and trust the agent to create UI: the agent can push arbitrary content (text, links, images, charts) which will persist in the app and could be used to display sensitive data or misleading UI. If you allow autonomous agent invocation, restrict what data the agent may send and verify the socket path in MoltenView settings. If you don't use MoltenView, there's no benefit to installing this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: moltenview
Version: 1.0.0
The 'moltenview' skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with a local macOS application via a Unix Domain Socket. It uses standard system utilities (nc -U) to push JSON-formatted visualization data to a specific socket path within the user's Library directory. There are no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution; the skill is strictly focused on its stated purpose of displaying persistent visual dashboards.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (push persistent visual views to MoltenView) match the runtime instructions: they show how to send JSON to a MoltenView Unix domain socket. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to constructing JSON payloads and sending them to a MoltenView socket (nc -U). They reference a socket path under the app's container and an optional MOLTENVIEW_SOCKET env var. They do allow sending arbitrary JSON content to the app, so the agent could display any data you give it — ensure you trust the agent and the data it will send.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present; this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requires no secrets or external credentials. It suggests an environment variable (MOLTENVIEW_SOCKET) for convenience; this is proportional to the local IPC-based integration.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (good). The skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (disable-model-invocation is false) — which is platform default — meaning an agent could push persistent views without further user prompts. That is expected for this kind of integration but is a behavior you should consider before enabling autonomous agents.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install moltenview - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/moltenview - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of the MoltenView skill.
- Push persistent visual views (charts, metrics, lists, progress bars) to the MoltenView Mac app for long-lived visual displays.
- Supports structured data such as metrics, progress, charts, gauges, links, and images.
- Guidance provided for when to use/persist views versus transient text responses.
- Includes example scripts, required fields, supported item types, actions (push, update, clear, status), and status checks.
- Views remain until cleared or replaced; requires the MoltenView app running on Mac.
