Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent with its stated purpose: it reads ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/sessions.json and summarizes tokens/costs. Two practical precautions before installing or invoking it: (1) be aware the skill advertises 'read-only' but offers an optional write (it will create/append ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/token-diet-log.md) if you explicitly ask to track improvements — don't request that unless you want a file written. (2) As with any instruction-only skill, its runtime behavior depends on the agent implementation; ensure your agent runtime enforces file/network access policies you trust (the skill claims it won't exfiltrate data, but the platform executing the instructions controls actual IO/network). If you want extra assurance, inspect the actual sessions.json contents to confirm it does not contain secrets you wouldn't want read, and only enable the skill when comfortable with it having read access to that single path.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: whereamiburningtokens Version: 1.1.0 The skill is a diagnostic tool designed to analyze token usage and costs by reading the local `sessions.json` file. It operates within a strictly defined safety boundary, performing read-only operations on session data and optional logging of improvements in the workspace directory. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious intent was found in SKILL.md or the associated metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim to read ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/sessions.json and report token/cost breakdown — the SKILL.md, README, and package.json are consistent with that. No unrelated env vars, binaries, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits actions to reading and parsing the single sessions.json path and producing a summary. However, there is an optional 'improvement log' feature that will create/append ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/token-diet-log.md if the user explicitly asks — this is a write operation and contradicts the otherwise 'read-only' claim. The skill does not instruct the agent to read other local files unless the user explicitly requests the optional log.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files to execute; lowest-risk install surface. package.json and README are informational only.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external config paths are requested. The requested file path (sessions.json) is directly relevant to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default for skills on the platform (not a specific red flag here). The only persistence behavior is the optional log file write, performed only on explicit user request.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install whereamiburningtokens
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /whereamiburningtokens
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.1.0
Tightened the skill to be explicitly read-only and scanner-friendly. It now clearly declares that it reads only ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/sessions.json by default, does not modify or delete anything, does not execute commands, and does not exfiltrate local data. Optional log-file access is explicitly gated behind a user request.
v1.0.0
Initial ClawHub release.
