Description
System health monitoring and alerting for Automaton. Checks cron execution, heartbeat rhythm, disk space, API limits, and memory health. Auto-alerts on anoma...
Usage Guidance
Read the code before installing. Key points to check: 1) The scripts hard-code WORKSPACE = C:\Users\Administrator\.openclaw\workspace and use PowerShell — if you are not on Windows or you keep workspace elsewhere, the scripts will fail or behave unexpectedly. 2) health-monitor.js runs shell commands (execSync 'openclaw cron list' and a PowerShell size query) — ensure the 'openclaw' CLI and PowerShell are trusted and available. 3) Both scripts read broad workspace files (memory/, token-budget.md, skills/*) and token-monitor.js will update SESSION-STATE.md outside the skill directory — confirm you’re comfortable with that file being modified and with these reads (they could expose sensitive content). 4) No external network calls are present, which reduces exfiltration risk, but the ability to run shell commands means a malicious modification could escalate impact. Recommended actions: run in a sandbox or test environment first; adjust WORKSPACE and file paths to your environment; back up SESSION-STATE.md and other files before running; or request a version that accepts a configurable workspace path and documents exactly what files it reads/writes.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: monitor-alert-automaton Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides legitimate system monitoring and token usage tracking for an OpenClaw agent environment. The scripts (health-monitor.js and token-monitor.js) perform local file reads and execute system commands (PowerShell, openclaw CLI) to verify disk space, cron status, and memory health, all of which are consistent with the stated purpose. While the code contains hardcoded paths (e.g., C:\Users\Administrator) and uses shell execution, there is no evidence of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims system/Automaton monitoring and the scripts perform cron, heartbeat, disk, token and memory checks which are coherent with that purpose. However the code hard-codes a Windows workspace path (C:\Users\Administrator\.openclaw\workspace) and invokes PowerShell; the skill metadata does not declare an OS restriction. That platform-specific assumption and the absolute workspace path are disproportionate to the generic description and may not match the user's environment.
Instruction Scope
The JS files read many workspace files (memory files, token-budget.md, MEMORY.md), enumerate and parse other skills' SKILL.md/_meta.json, and update SESSION-STATE.md. While these actions are plausible for an internal monitor, they access broad filesystem areas that may contain sensitive data. The scripts also invoke shell commands via execSync ('openclaw cron list' and a PowerShell command), which executes external processes — this gives the skill capability to run arbitrary commands if modified or run in a different context. The SKILL.md does not document these platform/path assumptions or the effect of writing SESSION-STATE.md.
Install Mechanism
There is no install script or external download—this is an instruction-only skill with included JS files. No third-party packages or remote URLs are fetched. That lowers installation risk, though included code performs shell exec and filesystem writes at runtime.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials, which fits a local monitor. However it assumes access to a specific workspace path and to other skills' files; token-monitor updates a SESSION-STATE.md two levels up (potentially outside the skill directory). Access to arbitrary workspace files without explicit declaration could expose sensitive content. No network endpoints are contacted, but filesystem access and writes are broader than the SKILL.md documents.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not set always:true and is user-invocable only. It does modify local files (writes SESSION-STATE.md) and relies on running shell commands. Those are normal for a monitoring skill, but writing to a session/state file outside the skill folder increases its persistence/impact in the workspace and should be reviewed.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install monitor-alert-automaton
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /monitor-alert-automaton
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
