Description
Universal flow tracer with cross-platform date support, latency calculation, and token estimation.
README (SKILL.md)
FlowMonitor Universal
Professional execution tracing for OpenClaw/MCP environments.
Instructions
- Call
get_traceviabash scripts/trace.sh. - Post-Processing:
- Latency: Calculate the difference between
unix_timeof the current step and the previous step. Display as+Xs. - Resource: Display
estimated_tokensas a measure of cost.
- Latency: Calculate the difference between
- LangSmith Visualization:
- Create a Trace Table: | Step | Time | Skill | Latency | Est. Tokens |
- Create a Mermaid Flow: Use
sequenceDiagramto show the timeline.
Metadata Rules
- If
unix_timeis missing or 0, skip latency for that specific step. - Use a ⏱️ icon for latency and a 🪙 icon for tokens.
Commands
get_trace: Run the shell script to fetch raw telemetry.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims and does not contact external servers or request credentials. Before installing: (1) verify whether a claw_execution.log file exists in the agent's working directory and inspect its contents for sensitive data (API keys, tokens, PII), because the script will read from it; (2) consider running scripts/trace.sh manually to see sample output and confirm it meets your needs; (3) note the script only examines the last 15 'Calling tool' lines and may produce malformed JSON if log lines contain quotes or unusual characters; (4) if you are concerned about exposing logs, run the skill in a sandboxed environment or copy a sanitized log for testing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: flow-monitor
Version: 1.0.0
The flow-monitor skill is a legitimate utility designed to parse local execution logs (claw_execution.log) to visualize tool usage, latency, and token estimates. The core logic in scripts/trace.sh uses standard Unix utilities (grep, sed, date) to extract metadata and does not perform any network requests, data exfiltration, or unauthorized system modifications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the included script and SKILL.md: the tool extracts execution-trace lines and computes latencies/token estimates. Minor inconsistency: SKILL.md does not explicitly state that a local file named claw_execution.log must exist (config.json and scripts/trace.sh reference it).
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to running get_trace (bash scripts/trace.sh) and visualizing results. The script reads a local log file (claw_execution.log) and extracts the last 15 lines with 'Calling tool' — this is within the stated purpose but means the skill will expose whatever is in that log (potentially sensitive data). The script also prints unescaped fields into JSON which could produce malformed JSON for unusual log contents.
Install Mechanism
No install specification or external downloads; this is an instruction-only skill with a small included shell script — low install risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. Its only resource access is a local log file (claw_execution.log), which is coherent with the stated purpose but may contain unrelated sensitive information.
Persistence & Privilege
No elevated persistence requested (always:false). The skill does not modify system or other skills' configurations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install flow-monitor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/flow-monitor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
