Agent Health Optimizer

Diagnose, score, and steadily improve your OpenClaw setup.

This skill is an audit toolkit, not a magic self-healing system. It is good at surfacing likely problems, weak spots, and opportunities. Its --fix mode is intentionally conservative.

Requirements

• python3 (3.8+)
• openclaw CLI

Quick Start

# Full diagnostic suite — one command
python3 scripts/self_optimize.py

# Individual tools
python3 scripts/health_score.py         # Health grade (A+ to F)
python3 scripts/memory_auditor.py       # Memory hygiene check
python3 scripts/cron_optimizer.py       # Cron analysis
python3 scripts/cron_optimizer.py --fix # Conservative auto-repair (backs up first)
python3 scripts/skill_comparator.py     # Adjacent/overlapping ClawHub skills

What It Does

🏥 health_score.py — Agent Health Grade (0-100)

Scores 5 dimensions:

• 🧠 Memory (25pts): MEMORY.md completeness, daily log activity, working buffer, anti-poisoning hygiene, source tags
• ⏰ Cron (25pts): job health, schedule diversity, use of isolated sessions, suspicious delivery setups, selective stagger usage
• 📦 Skills (20pts): count, overlap hints, ClawHub management ratio, metadata completeness
• 🔒 Security (15pts): safety rules, anti-poisoning policy, WAL protocol, external action controls
• 🔄 Continuity (15pts): SOUL.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, IDENTITY.md, git tracking

🔍 memory_auditor.py — Memory Hygiene

Detects:

• Imperative rules that should be declarative facts
• Missing source tags on factual entries
• Stale entries >30 days with pending status
• External content stored as instructions
• Oversized files needing archival
• Daily log gaps

⏰ cron_optimizer.py — Cron Job Doctor

Detects:

• Error states with job names and error messages
• Time collisions (multiple jobs on same schedule)
• Missing stagger on burst-prone recurring schedules
• Suspicious announce setups (for example explicit channel without explicit to)
• Timeout mismatches
• Session target recommendations (isolated vs main)

--fix mode:

• creates memory/cron-backup.json before changes
• only auto-adds stagger to recurring top-of-hour stampede-prone jobs
• does not force delivery on jobs using delivery=none
• does not modify exact-time jobs just because they lack stagger

📦 skill_comparator.py — Skill Landscape Checker

Via ClawHub API (https://clawhub.ai/api/v1/):

• Fetches stars, downloads, installs for installed skills
• Lists top ClawHub skills you're missing
• Finds adjacent / overlapping skills with stronger community signals
• Category coverage analysis (what domains are missing?)

Important: these are comparison hints, not authoritative replacements.

🔄 self_optimize.py — Unified Runner

Runs all 4 tools and produces:

• Combined report with prioritized action items (HIGH/MED/LOW)
• Trend tracking vs prior run (📈/📉)
• JSON reports in memory/ for historical review

What It Reads & Writes

Reads (non-destructive):

• Workspace files: MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, IDENTITY.md
• Daily logs: memory/*.md
• Skill metadata: skills/*/SKILL.md
• Cron config: openclaw cron list --json
• ClawHub public API: https://clawhub.ai/api/v1/skills/...

Writes (reports only):

• memory/health-score.json
• memory/memory-audit.json
• memory/cron-optimizer.json
• memory/skill-comparator.json
• memory/self-optimize-report.json
• memory/self-optimize-last.json

Modifies (only with --fix):

• cron_optimizer.py --fix edits cron jobs via openclaw cron edit
• Always backs up to memory/cron-backup.json first

Periodic Self-Optimization

Set up a weekly cron (read-only, no --fix):

openclaw cron add \
  --name "Agent Self-Optimize" \
  --cron "0 11 * * 0" \
  --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
  --session isolated \
  --stagger 2m \
  --no-deliver \
  --message "Run agent self-optimization:
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/agent-health-optimizer/scripts/self_optimize.py

Report results. List HIGH priority issues first. Keep it brief if everything looks fine."

Positioning

Use this skill when you want:

• a periodic audit
• a sanity check before changing agent architecture
• conservative recommendations
• a historical trend of agent health

Do not treat it as a substitute for human review on destructive or far-reaching changes.
