Install in OpenClaw
/install sport-mode
Description
Activate "Sport Mode" for high-frequency monitoring (default 3m heartbeat) and auto-cleanup. Use when supervising intense tasks (Codex, builds, migrations).
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent but makes live changes to your OpenClaw configuration and workspace files. Before installing: (1) confirm you have the openclaw CLI available and test `openclaw config` manually; (2) back up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json so you can restore defaults; (3) prefer using OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE if you don't want HEARTBEAT.md in your current directory; (4) always include an explicit termination condition in the task (e.g., run `sport-mode off`) to avoid indefinite high-frequency polling; (5) be aware that letting an agent inspect tmux panes or workspace files can expose terminal output or other local data — grant that capability only if you trust the agent and task. If you want stricter control, run the script manually rather than allowing autonomous agent invocation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sport-mode
Version: 1.0.1
The skill is classified as suspicious due to its powerful capabilities and the significant attack surface it exposes. It modifies the OpenClaw agent's configuration (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) using `openclaw config set` to alter its heartbeat frequency (scripts/sport-mode.sh). More critically, the skill writes user-provided task instructions directly into `HEARTBEAT.md`, and the documentation (SKILL.md, README.md) explicitly confirms that the OpenClaw agent is designed to parse and execute commands embedded within this file (e.g., `run: \`command\``). This makes the skill a direct conduit for user-supplied prompt injection, enabling the execution of arbitrary commands by the agent. While these capabilities are central to the skill's stated purpose, they represent high-risk behaviors without clear malicious intent from the skill itself, fitting the 'suspicious' threshold.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description, README, SKILL.md, and the included script all align: the skill changes the agent heartbeat and writes/clears HEARTBEAT.md. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script explicitly patch OpenClaw configuration (via `openclaw config set`) and create/overwrite HEARTBEAT.md in the workspace. The SKILL.md additionally recommends patterns like using tmux and letting the agent read/update HEARTBEAT.md; those recommendations imply the agent may access terminal output or workspace files (which is expected for a monitoring helper) but are outside the provided script itself. Users should be aware this skill modifies config and workspace files.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external download is present — this is instruction-only plus a local script. Nothing is fetched from external URLs or written to nonstandard locations by an installer.
Credentials
The skill declares no required credentials or env vars. The script references HOME and an optional OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE (a reasonable, documented override) but does not request secrets. The single impactful action is changing the global heartbeat setting via the OpenClaw CLI, which is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does modify global OpenClaw configuration (agents.defaults.heartbeat.every) while active, which affects system-wide heartbeat cadence. It is not always-enabled and does not alter other skills' configs, but this global config change can increase resource/activity and should be used with explicit termination conditions to avoid prolonged high-frequency checks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sport-mode - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sport-mode - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
- Removed Chinese translations from section headers and best practices for a more concise, English-only documentation.
- No changes to functionality or code; documentation only.
v1.0.0
- Introduced "Sport Mode" for enhanced high-frequency monitoring (default 3-minute heartbeat) and automatic cleanup.
- Adds the ability to inject a custom monitoring task into `HEARTBEAT.md` while sport mode is active.
- Simple commands to activate (`sport-mode on`) and deactivate (`sport-mode off`) with automatic heartbeat interval adjustment.
- Designed for supervising intense or long-running processes like builds, migrations, and interactive agents.
- Best practices included for efficient task management, state handling, and reducing unnecessary notifications.
