system-info

What This Skill Does

The system-info skill serves as a lightweight, high-performance diagnostic dashboard for your Linux-based OpenClaw environment. By leveraging standard system utilities already present in most distributions, it provides an immediate snapshot of your machine's operational status. Rather than relying on heavy monitoring suites, this skill executes fast, non-blocking queries to fetch real-time data regarding your CPU state, volatile memory allocation, local storage capacity, and system longevity. It is designed to be the first point of reference when troubleshooting performance bottlenecks or verifying resource availability for resource-heavy AI tasks.

Installation

To integrate this utility into your OpenClaw agent, execute the installation command provided below. Because it relies on standard system binaries, the footprint is effectively zero, making it an ideal candidate for baseline environment setup.

Command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/xejrax/system-info

Use Cases

System-info is primarily used for environment validation. Developers use it to ensure that a task has sufficient RAM before triggering data-processing jobs. DevOps engineers utilize it to confirm uptime after maintenance cycles. Additionally, it helps in identifying disk space constraints that might impede local database growth or cache storage.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, check the system-info and tell me if I have enough memory left to process this large dataset."
2. "Could you run system-info disk? I need to know if the drive is filling up too fast."
3. "Hey, use system-info to verify the server uptime and confirm it's still running correctly."

Tips & Limitations

This skill is read-only and provides instantaneous data points rather than continuous monitoring. If you require persistent logging or long-term trend analysis, you should pair this skill with external monitoring tools like Prometheus or Grafana. The tool is restricted to systems where standard Linux diagnostic utilities (like free, df, and uptime) are pre-installed; it may behave unexpectedly on heavily stripped-down containers (e.g., distroless images) that lack these binaries. Always run the base command without arguments first to get a comprehensive overview, then drill down into specific metrics if you detect an anomaly.
