opensysinfo-skill

What This Skill Does

The opensysinfo-skill is a lightweight, high-performance monitoring tool designed specifically for the OpenClaw agent ecosystem. Written entirely in pure Bash, this utility provides an instant snapshot of your host machine's health. It aggregates critical data points including the current Operating System release, system uptime, central processor (CPU) architecture and load, memory utilization (RAM), and disk space availability. Because it relies on standard Unix utilities, it is incredibly fast and operates with minimal overhead compared to complex monitoring frameworks.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the ClawHub command line interface. Ensure your OpenClaw agent has the necessary permissions to execute system-level scripts. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/pr1vateer/opensysinfo Once installed, the agent will automatically detect the entrypoint at {baseDir}/scripts/sysinfo.sh. No additional dependencies or compilers are required, provided a standard Bash environment is present.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for rapid health checks in headless environments, server management, and automated diagnostic workflows. Use it when you need to verify system resources before initiating memory-intensive AI tasks or to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks during multi-agent orchestration. It serves as a foundational building block for any agent tasked with maintaining infrastructure integrity.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current system status and let me know if we are running low on disk space."
2. "How long has this server been online, and what does the memory usage look like right now?"
3. "Provide a full report on the system's current load and operating system details."

Tips & Limitations

This skill is read-only by design, meaning it queries system state without modifying configuration files, making it a low-risk diagnostic tool. However, because it relies on standard Bash, its accuracy depends on the availability of system binaries like df, free, and uptime. In highly restricted environments (such as Docker containers or hardened kernels), ensure these binaries are present and executable. Note that this skill does not provide historical trend data or real-time alerts; it is strictly a point-in-time reporter. For long-term monitoring, combine this skill with other OpenClaw logging capabilities.
