mrc-monitor

What This Skill Does

The mrc-monitor skill is a specialized automation tool designed for the MRC canteen order system. It bridges the gap between the agent and Firebase Firestore, allowing users to track the real-time status of their food orders via token numbers. Instead of manually refreshing or checking the canteen counter, the agent keeps a background watch on your orders and notifies you the moment your token status updates to 'Ready'. It handles multiple token monitoring concurrently and cleans up its own processes automatically, ensuring efficient system resource management.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI inside your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wysh3/mrc-monitor Ensure your agent has the necessary permissions to access the Firebase backend associated with the canteen project kanteen-mrc-blr-24cfa.

Use Cases

• Bulk Order Tracking: Ideal for groups or individuals ordering multiple items at once. You can pass a string of token numbers (e.g., 'mrc 10 11 12') and the agent will track all of them simultaneously.
• Passive Monitoring: Perfect for students or staff who want to stay at their desks until their meal is actually ready for pickup.
• Quick Status Verification: Use the 'check' command to perform a singular, one-time verification of an order status without initiating a persistent background monitoring loop.

Example Prompts

1. "mrc 73 97 42"
2. "token 55, please monitor these."
3. "check 88"

Tips & Limitations

• Naming Conventions: The agent is highly flexible with token prefixes; 'mrc', 'token', 'monitor', and 'check' are all valid triggers.
• Background Efficiency: The script polls every 15 seconds. Avoid launching multiple redundant monitors for the same token to prevent unnecessary Firebase read operations.
• Error Handling: The monitor script is resilient, featuring built-in retries for network timeouts. If it encounters a fatal error, it will notify you before terminating, so you aren't left waiting for an order that isn't being watched. Always ensure you are on a stable network connection when initiating the monitor.
