Mileage

What This Skill Does

Mileage is a powerful, locally-hosted command-line utility designed for comprehensive vehicle and travel management. It enables users to maintain a precise log of their mileage, fuel consumption, maintenance schedules, and associated costs. By operating entirely offline, the skill ensures that sensitive trip data and vehicle information remain securely stored on the user's machine, providing privacy-focused tracking without reliance on cloud services. Users can perform complex management tasks such as inventory tracking, scheduling maintenance, setting reminders, and managing seasonal checklists, all through a streamlined interface. The skill also facilitates data portability, allowing users to export their records into JSON, CSV, or plain text formats, ensuring compatibility with external tools for deeper analytical review.

Installation

To integrate the Mileage skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ckchzh/mileage Once installed, the tool will automatically initialize its directory at ~/.local/share/mileage/, creating the necessary logs and structure for your data. You can verify the installation by running mileage status to ensure all system checks return OK.

Use Cases

• Professional Trip Logging: Log business-related mileage for tax purposes or expense reimbursements.
• Vehicle Maintenance Tracking: Use the maintain and remind features to keep track of oil changes, tire rotations, and other vehicle service intervals.
• Fuel Economy Monitoring: Utilize the usage and cost commands to analyze your vehicle's fuel efficiency over time.
• General Asset Management: Beyond vehicles, the tool's modular design (checklists, inventory, and seasonal tasks) makes it adaptable for various household inventory management projects.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, log a new mileage entry: 150 miles for a business trip to the regional office."
2. "Can you export my mileage data to a CSV file so I can review my fuel costs for the last quarter?"
3. "Check the current status of my vehicle maintenance schedule and see if any reminders are due."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: Because this skill performs local file writes, ensure your data directory is included in your personal backup routines.
• Search Proficiency: Use mileage search <term> to quickly locate specific past entries, as the log files can grow large over time.
• Limitations: The tool does not provide graphical visualizations; all reporting is text-based. For advanced data visualization, export your data to CSV or JSON and use external software like Excel or Python.
