Description
Create and run a reusable OpenClaw deep healthcheck automation using a cron job plus a script. Use when setting up scheduled OpenClaw health audits, standard...
Usage Guidance
This appears to do what it claims: run local OpenClaw checks and write a summary to /tmp. Before installing: 1) Review how your platform handles delivery.mode 'announce' (it may publish results to dashboards/notifications). If you don't want external announcements, use 'none' or handle reporting inside the script. 2) Fix the script logic bug: failures increment 'warn' but the 'fail' counter is never increased, so 'NEEDS_ATTENTION' will never be produced; adjust check_cmd to increment fail when appropriate. 3) Confirm file permissions and retention for /tmp/openclaw-healthcheck (sensitive logs may be written there), and sanitize any outputs as SKILL.md suggests. 4) Run the script manually and verify output format before scheduling. If you require higher assurance, request provenance for the skill (author/homepage) and test in an isolated environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-healthcheck-cron
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw Healthcheck Cron skill is benign. Its purpose is to create a scheduled health check for an OpenClaw agent. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions for setting up a cron job and executing `scripts/healthcheck.sh`. The `healthcheck.sh` script performs read-only checks using `openclaw` commands, writes logs and a summary JSON to a temporary directory (`/tmp/openclaw-healthcheck`), and uses environment variables for configurable paths and exclusions. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms beyond its stated purpose (cron job), prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. All actions are aligned with a standard health check utility.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included files and behavior: the script runs local OpenClaw checks (command -v openclaw, openclaw gateway status, openclaw status) and writes read-only artifacts under /tmp. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-topic: it instructs creating a cron agentTurn that executes bash scripts/healthcheck.sh, writing artifacts to a local output dir, and sanitizing local identifiers. One notable point: the example cron payload uses delivery.mode 'announce' — depending on your platform, that may cause the agent to broadcast the summary outside the host (e.g., into dashboards or notifications). Verify what 'announce' does in your environment before enabling automatic runs. Otherwise the script does not read other system files or network endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; skill is instruction-only with a small helper script. Nothing is downloaded or written outside the artifact directory (/tmp) created at runtime.
Credentials
No required env vars, credentials, or config paths are declared. The script optionally respects HEALTHCHECK_OUTPUT_DIR, HEALTHCHECK_EXCLUDE, and OPENCLAW_HEALTH_TZ environment variables as documented — these are reasonable and proportional.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. The skill doesn't request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configs. It writes only to its own artifact directory under /tmp.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-healthcheck-cron - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-healthcheck-cron - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
