Skill Health Monitor

What This Skill Does

The Skill Health Monitor, developed by autogame-17, serves as an essential diagnostic utility for OpenClaw users managing a growing library of autonomous agents. Its primary function is to audit the integrity of your installed skills by performing structural and environmental compliance checks. The tool scans your local skills directory to ensure every module meets the standard technical requirements expected by the OpenClaw framework.

By validating the presence of critical components like SKILL.md files for documentation, as well as necessary entry points like package.json or index.js, the monitor prevents runtime errors caused by missing dependencies or incomplete installations. A standout feature is its intelligent dependency verification, which correlates declared environment variables in documentation against your current workspace configuration, ensuring your agents have the keys and settings they need to operate successfully.

Installation

To add the Skill Health Monitor to your workspace, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/autogame-17/skill-health-monitor

Once installed, you can trigger the audit by running the main entry point from your base directory:

node skills/skill-health-monitor/index.js

Use Cases

This tool is best utilized during routine maintenance of your agent environment. It is particularly valuable when you have recently updated your OpenClaw core, installed several new community-sourced skills, or are troubleshooting an agent that appears to be failing silently. Project leads and developers managing large agent ecosystems can use the generated health_report.json and dependency_report.json files to programmatically track the status of their infrastructure and ensure consistency across development, staging, and production environments.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, run the Skill Health Monitor to check if all my active skills have their required environment variables configured properly."
2. "I think some of my skills might be broken after the recent update. Can you run the health monitor and show me the list of any missing metadata files?"
3. "Please execute the health monitor and summarize the findings from the generated JSON reports so I know which skills need attention."

Tips & Limitations

The Skill Health Monitor is designed for local directory auditing and does not verify the external functionality of the skills themselves; it only ensures they are structurally sound. Always review the health_report.json file generated in the root directory for a granular breakdown of errors. If you frequently add third-party skills, make it a habit to run this monitor after every new installation to catch configuration conflicts early. Note that this skill requires read access to your workspace directory to function correctly and cannot verify remote API connectivity for skills that do not have explicitly documented environment variables.
