Inspect and maintain a Mac through repeatable terminal-first checks for disk usage, large files, launch agents, login items, power settings, sleep/wake behav...
README (SKILL.md)
Mac Maintenance
Use terminal-first inspection. Prefer read-only checks before making changes. Summarize findings, then propose the smallest useful set of actions.
Workflow
- Clarify the scope if the request is broad: storage, performance, startup items, battery/power, networking, or OpenClaw health.
- Run non-destructive inspection first.
- Group findings into:
- safe to report immediately
- safe to fix automatically
- risky changes that need confirmation
- If making changes, prefer reversible actions and explain impact briefly.
- End with a short maintenance summary and next steps.
Common checks
Storage and large files
- Inspect free space.
- Find unusually large files and folders.
- Separate cache/log growth from user documents.
- Suggest archival or cleanup before deleting anything.
Background activity
- Inspect running processes, launch agents, and login items.
- Look for obvious resource hogs, crash loops, or stale helpers.
- Distinguish system services from third-party items.
Power and sleep
- Inspect
pmsetsettings, assertions, and recent sleep/wake logs. - Use this path when diagnosing lid-close disconnects, overnight idle behavior, or caffeinate/disablesleep experiments.
Networking
- Check interface status, local IPs, DNS, and reachability.
- For OpenClaw issues, also inspect
openclaw statusand relevant logs.
OpenClaw-specific maintenance
- Run
openclaw statuswhen relevant. - Check gateway health, channel state, update availability, and obvious warnings.
- Surface security warnings but do not change security-sensitive configuration without confirmation.
Change policy
Safe without extra confirmation:
- inspection commands
- generating reports
- creating maintenance notes/scripts in the workspace
Ask before:
- deleting files outside obvious disposable caches
- changing startup items or launch agents
- changing power management settings
- installing or removing software
- changing firewall, SSH, or security settings
Output pattern
When reporting results, use this structure:
- What I checked
- What I found
- Recommended actions
- What I can do next
Keep it practical. Avoid long generic Mac advice if the issue is specific.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want an agent to help inspect and maintain a Mac. Review any proposed commands before allowing deletions, startup item changes, power-setting changes, software installs/removals, or security configuration changes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is macOS maintenance and troubleshooting, and the instructions cover aligned areas like storage, background processes, power settings, networking, and OpenClaw health.
Instruction Scope
The skill tells the agent to clarify broad requests, inspect first, summarize findings, and ask before deletions, startup changes, power changes, software installs/removals, or security-sensitive configuration changes.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only one non-executable SKILL.md file, with no scripts, declared dependencies, or package install behavior.
Credentials
The skill can lead to local Mac system inspection, but that access is expected for maintenance and is framed as terminal-first and non-destructive by default.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence or privilege escalation is built into the artifact; it permits workspace notes/scripts and requires confirmation before higher-impact system changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mac-maintenance - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mac-maintenance - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
