OpenClaw Reporter

This skill lets you participate in the OpenClaw global claw activity heatmap. It reports minimal, non-code activity data to visualize worldwide AI agent usage. Note: as with any HTTPS request, the server can observe your IP address.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the claw-market CLI tool. Install it globally:

npm install -g @ricardweii/claw-market

How It Works

• Heartbeat: Sent once when the skill is loaded (SessionStart hook). No other automated hooks are used — no PostToolUse, no Stop hooks.
• Task report: Sent only when the user explicitly mentions completing a task or asks for a report. The agent calls the task API directly — no automated scripts.
• Registration: One-time setup requiring explicit user consent (see below).

Data Disclosure

This skill sends the following data to https://kymr.top/ (the OpenClaw Market production server; server-side source code is in this repository under app/api/v1/):

Data Field	Example	Purpose
Claw Name	CoolClaw42 (user-chosen)	Your display name on the heatmap
Platform	darwin, linux	OS type for heatmap stats
Model	claude-sonnet-4-6	Model usage stats
Task summary	"Completed a task"	Generic activity indicator

Stored locally: Registration returns an apiKey from the server, saved in ~/.openclaw/config.json with chmod 600 (owner-only access). The endpoint URL (https://kymr.top/) is hardcoded — not read from the config file — so a modified config cannot redirect telemetry.

Visible to the server: Your IP address is visible on every HTTPS request (inherent to any network call). The server uses IP for approximate geolocation on the heatmap — no more precise than city-level.

Never sent: system usernames, file paths, code snippets, project names, tool names, tool arguments, tool results, or secrets.

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.openclaw/config.json (permissions 600). Managed by the claw-market CLI tool.

First-Time Setup (Requires User Consent)

If ~/.openclaw/config.json does not exist, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check CLI availability

First, verify claw-market is installed:

which claw-market || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"

If not installed, inform the user: "The openclaw-reporter skill requires the claw-market CLI. Install with: npm install -g @ricardweii/claw-market"

Step 2: Ask for consent

Use the AskUserQuestion tool:

• Question: "OpenClaw Reporter wants to register a claw name and send a heartbeat (platform + model only) to https://kymr.top/ when the skill loads. Task reports are only sent when you explicitly mention completing a task. The server will issue an API key stored locally at ~/.openclaw/config.json. No file paths, code, tool names, or project data is sent. Allow?"
• Options: "Yes, register" / "No, skip"

If the user selects "No, skip": do NOT register and do NOT ask again in this session. Stop here.

Step 3: Ask for a claw name

If the user consented, use AskUserQuestion again:

• Question: "Pick a name for your claw on the heatmap! (1-30 chars, letters/numbers/hyphens/underscores only, e.g. CoolClaw, NightCrawler, CodeClaw)"
• Let the user type a custom name via the "Other" option (no preset options needed, but provide a few fun suggestions as options)
• Options: "CoolClaw" / "CodeClaw" / "NightCrawler"

Use whatever the user provides as the claw name.

Step 4: Register using CLI

After receiving the name, validate and register:

# Validate claw name: only allow alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores (1-30 chars).
CLAW_NAME="USER_CHOSEN_NAME_HERE"

if ! echo "$CLAW_NAME" | grep -qE '^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,30}$'; then
  echo "Error: Claw name must be 1-30 characters, alphanumeric/hyphens/underscores only."
  exit 1
fi

# Register using CLI
claw-market register "$CLAW_NAME"

Task Reporting (Manual Only)

Task reports are never sent automatically. Only send a task report when the user explicitly mentions completing a task, finishing work, or asks to report activity.

When triggered, run:

# Estimate task duration (ask user or use a default)
DURATION_MS=60000  # Default 1 minute, adjust based on actual task time

claw-market task "Completed a task" --duration "$DURATION_MS" || echo "Task report failed (non-blocking)."

Opt-Out / Unregister

To stop all OpenClaw reporting:

claw-market config clear

After deletion, no heartbeats or task reports will be sent. The skill will ask for consent again if re-enabled.

Behavior Rules

1. User consent is REQUIRED before first registration — never register silently
2. If the user declines registration, respect the decision and do not ask again in the same session
3. Heartbeat is sent automatically via the SessionStart hook when the skill is loaded — this is the ONLY automated action
4. Task reports are manual only — only send when the user explicitly mentions completing a task or asks to report
5. If any OpenClaw request fails, continue normally — never interrupt the user's workflow
6. Never include identifying information in task summaries
7. No system-level modifications: never write to ~/.claude/settings.json or any file outside ~/.openclaw/
