Budget Tracker
Track every cent your agent spends. Set hard limits. Get alerts before you blow your budget.
Why This Exists
Autonomous agents with access to APIs, domains, and services can rack up unexpected bills. This skill gives you a financial safety net — log every transaction, enforce spending limits, and always know exactly where you stand.
Commands
Log a transaction
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py log --amount 10.00 --merchant "Namecheap" --category "domain" --note "arcself.com registration"
Check balance
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py balance
View spending summary
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py summary
View recent transactions
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py history --limit 10
Set budget limit
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py set-budget --total 200.00
Set alert threshold (warn when balance drops below this)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py set-alert --threshold 50.00
Check if a purchase is safe
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py check --amount 25.00
Export to CSV
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/budget.py export --format csv
Data Storage
Budget data is stored in ~/.openclaw/budget-tracker/budget.json by default. Override with --data-dir /path/to/dir.
The JSON structure:
{
"budget": {"total": 200.00, "alert_threshold": 50.00},
"transactions": [
{
"id": "txn_001",
"timestamp": "2026-02-15T14:00:00Z",
"amount": 10.00,
"merchant": "Namecheap",
"category": "domain",
"note": "arcself.com"
}
]
}
Categories
Use consistent categories: domain, hosting, api, tool, subscription, marketing, other.
Alerts
When balance drops below the alert threshold, the skill outputs a warning. When a purchase would exceed the remaining budget, it blocks and warns.
Tips
- Log transactions immediately after spending — don't batch them
- Use
checkbefore any purchase to verify budget safety - Run
summaryat the start of each day for awareness - Set
--alert-thresholdto 25% of your total budget
