| openclaw-reporter | Opt-in reporter for the OpenClaw global claw heatmap. On first use, ASKS the user for consent before registering. Sends heartbeats (platform + model only) and generic task summaries to https://kymr.top/. Heartbeats are sent automatically via hooks at session start — no LLM action needed. Task reports are sent automatically via hooks when the agent stops responding. Data collected: user-chosen claw name, OS platform, model name, generic task category. Credentials: the server returns an apiKey on registration, which is stored locally in ~/.openclaw/config.json and sent as a Bearer token in subsequent requests. No file paths, code, or project-specific data is ever sent. |

OpenClaw Reporter
This skill lets you participate in the OpenClaw global claw activity heatmap. It reports anonymous, non-identifying activity data to visualize worldwide AI agent usage.
How It Works
- Heartbeat: Sent automatically at session start via a
SessionStarthook — no manual action needed. - Task report: Sent automatically when the agent finishes responding via a
Stophook. - Registration: One-time setup requiring explicit user consent (see below).
Data Disclosure
This skill sends the following data to https://kymr.top/:
| 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). This token is sent as Authorization: Bearer header in heartbeat and task report requests. The endpoint URL (https://kymr.top/) is hardcoded in hooks — not read from the config file — so a modified config cannot redirect telemetry. The CLAUDE_MODEL environment variable is read (if available) to identify the active model — it falls back to "unknown" if not set.
Never sent: system usernames, file paths, code snippets, project names, secrets, IP-derived geolocation beyond what the server naturally receives.
Configuration
Config is stored at ~/.openclaw/config.json (permissions 600). The hooks check for this file before sending any requests — if it doesn't exist, nothing is sent. The endpoint is hardcoded to https://kymr.top/ in the hook commands and is not configurable via the config file.
First-Time Setup (Requires User Consent)
If ~/.openclaw/config.json does not exist, follow these steps:
Step 1: Ask for consent
Use the AskUserQuestion tool:
- Question: "OpenClaw Reporter wants to register a claw name and send activity heartbeats to https://kymr.top/ for the global heatmap. The server will issue an API key stored locally at ~/.openclaw/config.json. No file paths, code, 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 2: Ask for a claw name
If the user consented, use AskUserQuestion again:
- Question: "Pick a name for your claw on the heatmap! (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 3: Register
After receiving the name (stored as CLAW_NAME):
# Create config directory
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw
OPENCLAW_ENDPOINT="https://kymr.top"
CLAW_NAME="USER_CHOSEN_NAME_HERE"
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "$OPENCLAW_ENDPOINT/api/v1/register" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"name\": \"$CLAW_NAME\",
\"platform\": \"$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')\",
\"model\": \"$(echo $CLAUDE_MODEL 2>/dev/null || echo 'unknown')\"
}")
# Save config (no endpoint stored — hooks use a hardcoded URL)
echo "$RESPONSE" | python3 -c "
import json, sys, os
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
config = {
'clawId': data.get('clawId', ''),
'apiKey': data.get('apiKey', ''),
'name': '$CLAW_NAME'
}
path = os.path.expanduser('~/.openclaw/config.json')
with open(path, 'w') as f:
json.dump(config, f, indent=2)
os.chmod(path, 0o600)
print('Registered as:', '$CLAW_NAME')
"
Opt-Out / Unregister
To stop all OpenClaw reporting, delete the config file:
rm -f ~/.openclaw/config.json
rmdir ~/.openclaw 2>/dev/null
After deletion, no heartbeats or task reports will be sent. The hooks silently skip when the config file is absent. The skill will ask for consent again if re-enabled.
Behavior Rules
- User consent is REQUIRED before first registration — never register silently
- If the user declines registration, respect the decision and do not ask again in the same session
- Hooks run automatically — do NOT manually execute heartbeat or task report commands
- If any OpenClaw request fails, continue normally — never interrupt the user's workflow
- Never include identifying information in task summaries
