DevLog Skill 🦞

A standardized journaling skill for OpenClaw agents to track progress, tasks, and project status using dev-log-cli.

Description

This skill enables agents to maintain a professional developer log. It's designed to capture context, project milestones, and task statuses in a structured SQLite database.

Requirements

  • dev-log-cli (installed via pipx)

Links

Usage

📝 Adding Entries

Agents should use this to log significant progress or blockers.

devlog add "Finished implementing the auth module" --project "Project Alpha" --status "completed" --tags "auth,feature"

📋 Listing Logs

View recent activity for context.

devlog list --project "Project Alpha" --limit 5

📊 Viewing Stats

Check project health and activity.

devlog stats --project "Project Alpha"

🔍 Searching

Find historical context on specific topics.

devlog search "infinite loop"

🛠️ Editing/Viewing

Detailed inspection or correction of entries.

devlog view \x3Cid>
devlog edit \x3Cid>

Internal Setup

The skill includes a setup.sh to ensure the CLI is available.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it integrates an external CLI (dev-log-cli) for agent journaling and includes a small setup script to install pipx and the CLI. Before installing/running it: (1) review the dev-log-cli project on GitHub/PyPI (linked in SKILL.md) to ensure its behavior is acceptable; (2) confirm where the CLI stores its SQLite database and whether logs might contain sensitive secrets you don't want persisted; (3) be aware the setup script will install pipx into your user environment and may update shell startup files via 'pipx ensurepath'; and (4) if you need stronger assurance, run the install step in an isolated environment (container/VM) and audit the installed package source first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: Developer: Version: Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill The skill bundle is designed for a journaling tool and exhibits benign behavior. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, functional instructions for using the `devlog` CLI without any prompt injection attempts. The `setup.sh` script transparently installs `pipx` and `dev-log-cli` using standard package management commands (`pip install --user pipx`, `pipx install dev-log-cli`), which are necessary for the skill's stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, persistence, unauthorized remote control, or obfuscation within the provided files.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md describes a developer journaling/logging skill and the only runtime dependency is a CLI called dev-log-cli installed via pipx. Requiring/attempting to install that CLI is appropriate for the stated purpose. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
ℹ Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions restrict the agent to using the devlog CLI (add/list/stats/search/view/edit). The included setup.sh only ensures pipx and dev-log-cli exist. However, the skill will cause the agent to create and persist logs in a SQLite DB (per SKILL.md). That means logs could contain sensitive project data or secrets; you should confirm where the CLI stores its DB and its retention/permissions before using it in sensitive contexts.
✓ Install Mechanism
setup.sh uses standard Python tooling: 'python3 -m pip install --user pipx', 'pipx ensurepath', and 'pipx install dev-log-cli'. This installs the package from PyPI via pipx rather than downloading from an arbitrary URL. It's a common, low-friction install path but still depends on a third-party PyPI package, so audit the upstream package if you need high assurance.
✓ Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The setup script modifies PATH in-process and calls 'pipx ensurepath' (which may update shell startup files) — this is reasonable for making a user-local CLI available but is worth noting.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not force-included (always: false) and does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills. It does cause installation of a CLI which will persist on disk via pipx; that is expected for a CLI-integrating skill.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install devlog-agent-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /devlog-agent-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
