pi-admin
Raspberry Pi system administration. Monitor resources, manage services, perform updates and maintenance.
Why use this skill?
Manage and monitor your Raspberry Pi with the pi-admin skill. Perform system checks, network diagnostics, service management, and maintenance via OpenClaw.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/thesethrose/pi-adminWhat This Skill Does
The pi-admin skill is a comprehensive system administration interface for OpenClaw AI, designed specifically for Raspberry Pi hardware. It functions as a command-line wrapper that provides the agent with deep introspection into the host OS, hardware health, and network status. By interacting with standard Linux utilities, it allows the AI to perform complex diagnostics, service management, and routine maintenance without requiring the user to SSH into the device manually.
Installation
You can install this skill directly via the Clawhub repository using the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/thesethrose/pi-admin
Once installed, ensure the script located at /home/srose/clawd/skills/pi-admin/skill.sh has the appropriate execution permissions to allow the OpenClaw agent to interface with your system processes.
Use Cases
- Proactive Health Monitoring: Automate checks for CPU temperature and memory pressure before they impact service availability.
- Network Debugging: Quickly verify if the Pi is reachable via standard network interfaces or if the Tailscale mesh VPN is correctly routing traffic.
- Service Lifecycle Management: Monitor the Clawdis Gateway status or restart essential backend services when they become unresponsive.
- Automated Maintenance: Schedule or trigger package updates and disk cleanup tasks (clearing logs and cache) to maintain optimal disk utilization and system security.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, can you check the system resources on the Raspberry Pi and tell me if the temperature is within safe operating limits?"
- "I'm having trouble connecting to the Gateway; please run the pi-admin services command and verify if the Clawdis service is currently active."
- "Perform a storage analysis and then run the clean command to free up space, but please use the dry-run flag first so I can see what will be removed."
Tips & Limitations
- Dry Runs: Always prioritize the use of the
--dry-runflag when performing maintenance tasks likeupdateorcleanto prevent unexpected deletions or service interruptions. - Security: Since this skill interacts with system-level services and package managers, ensure the OpenClaw agent has restricted access or is running under a user account with appropriate sudoers permissions.
- Rebooting: The reboot command includes a 10-second safety countdown; monitor your logs if you are performing automated maintenance to ensure a clean exit from critical tasks.
