README (SKILL.md)

Activity Notifier

Broadcast real-time agent activity to Discord channel.

When to Use

USE this skill when:

  • Starting a long-running task (installing skills, downloading files, etc.)
  • Waiting for rate limits or external APIs
  • Running multiple sequential operations
  • User might think you're stuck or buggy

Activity Types

Status Emoji When
🤔 Thinking 🤔 Starting to think/plan
🔧 Working 🔧 Using tools
🌐 Web 🌐 Searching/fetching from web
💻 Coding 💻 Writing/editing code
⏳ Waiting Waiting for rate limit/API
✅ Done Task completed
❌ Error Something went wrong

Usage Examples

// Send activity update
message({
  action: "send",
  channel: "discord",
  to: "channel:1477516155655688306",
  message: "⏳ **Activity Update**\
\
Installing 6 skills... (waiting for rate limit)"
})

Guidelines

  • Be concise — short updates, not novels
  • Use emoji — visual scanning is faster
  • Include progress — "3/6 installed" is better than "installing..."
  • Don't spam — only for tasks >5 seconds
  • Final summary — always send completion message

Configuration

Optional: Set ACTIVITY_CHANNEL_ID in environment to override default channel.

Usage Guidance
This skill will post the agent's activity updates to a Discord channel using the channels.discord.token credential. Before installing: 1) Confirm channels.discord.token is a token you control and that it has limited permissions (prefer a bot token scoped to only send messages). 2) Use a dedicated, non-sensitive Discord channel to avoid leaking private data — agent messages can include context or error details. 3) Note the SKILL.md mentions an optional ACTIVITY_CHANNEL_ID env var that isn't declared in the registry; if you plan to override the channel, set and review that variable. 4) Test in a disposable channel first to ensure the messages and frequency meet your expectations and to avoid spam. 5) If you want stricter controls, restrict when the skill is invoked or require manual confirmation before sending updates.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: activity-notifier Version: 1.0.0 The 'activity-notifier' skill is designed to broadcast agent activity status to a Discord channel for transparency. All files, including the `SKILL.md` instructions, are consistent with this stated purpose. The skill explicitly limits its allowed tools to only the `message` tool, which significantly reduces the attack surface for prompt injection. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or instructions for the agent to perform harmful actions beyond its stated, benign function.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name, description, and runtime instructions all describe sending activity updates to Discord. The single required config path (channels.discord.token) is appropriate for that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to use the message tool to send concise status updates to a Discord channel. This scope is narrow and consistent, but you should be aware that any content the agent includes in these messages (including context, progress, or errors) will be posted to Discord and could leak sensitive information if not controlled.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk or downloaded. Low install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares a required config path channels.discord.token (expected for Discord integration). SKILL.md also mentions an optional ACTIVITY_CHANNEL_ID environment variable but that env var is not listed in the registry requires.env — minor inconsistency. No unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request permanent presence or modify other skills. Normal privilege level for a notifier skill.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install activity-notifier
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /activity-notifier
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
