/install process-monitor-dashboard
Description
Monitor system processes, resource usage, and performance metrics with real-time terminal dashboard.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: a local terminal monitor using Python + psutil. Before installing/running: 1) confirm you have (or will install) psutil in a controlled environment (pip install psutil or use your distro package). 2) Note the SKILL.md contains a few options not implemented in scripts/main.py (e.g., --log, --watch, 'disk' sort) — rely on the script's --help output or inspect main.py if you need those features. 3) Be aware the tool lists running processes and usernames (like ps/top) which can reveal sensitive process names; run on systems where that exposure is acceptable. 4) Because the skill runs locally and requests no credentials or network access, it doesn't appear to exfiltrate data, but you should still review the included script if you need high assurance before running in production.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: process-monitor-dashboard
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a standard system monitoring dashboard using the legitimate 'psutil' library. The code in 'scripts/main.py' performs read-only operations to gather CPU, memory, disk, and process metrics, and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, persistence, or malicious execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the included Python script: it reads local CPU, memory, disk, network, and process info via psutil. Declared binary (python3) and library (psutil) are appropriate and proportional to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and examples describe only local monitoring (dashboard, snapshot, top, monitor). However there are small inconsistencies between SKILL.md and the implementation: SKILL.md documents options like `--log`, `--watch`, and `--by disk` that are not implemented in scripts/main.py; SKILL.md also says 'runs in background' while the script runs interactively in the foreground. These are documentation inaccuracies but do not expand scope to access unrelated data or networks.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only style) and the code is shipped in the skill bundle. This is low-risk: nothing is downloaded from external URLs and no archives are extracted.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials and the code does not read secrets or external config paths. It only reads local system metrics and process metadata (PIDs, names, usernames) which is expected for this functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not forced-always-on and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It runs only when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install process-monitor-dashboard - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/process-monitor-dashboard - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
