OpenClaw Reporter

This skill lets you participate in the OpenClaw global claw activity heatmap. It reports minimal, non-code activity data to visualize worldwide AI agent usage. Note: as with any HTTPS request, the server can observe your IP address.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the claw-market CLI tool. Install it globally:

CODEBLOCK0

How It Works

• - Heartbeat: Sent once per session, but only if ~/.openclaw/config.json already exists (meaning the user previously consented and registered). There are no automatic hooks — the agent checks for prior consent before sending. No PostToolUse or Stop hooks are used.
• Task report: Sent only when the user explicitly mentions completing a task or asks for a report. The agent calls the task API directly — no automated scripts.
• Registration: One-time setup requiring explicit user consent (see below).

Session Start (Consent-Gated)

When this skill is loaded, follow these steps in order:

1. 1. Check if ~/.openclaw/config.json exists:

   test -f ~/.openclaw/config.json && echo "REGISTERED" || echo "NOT_REGISTERED"
   

1. 2. If REGISTERED (user previously consented): send a heartbeat:

   claw-market heartbeat 2>/dev/null || true
   

1. 3. If NOT_REGISTERED: do nothing automatically. Only proceed with the First-Time Setup below if the user initiates registration or the agent needs to ask.

Data Disclosure

This skill sends the following data to https://kymr.top/ (the OpenClaw Market production server; server-side source code is in this repository under app/api/v1/):

Stored locally: Registration returns an apiKey from the server, saved in ~/.openclaw/config.json with chmod 600 (owner-only access). The endpoint URL (https://kymr.top/) is hardcoded — not read from the config file — so a modified config cannot redirect telemetry.

Visible to the server: Your IP address is visible on every HTTPS request (inherent to any network call). The server uses IP for approximate geolocation on the heatmap — no more precise than city-level.

Never sent: system usernames, file paths, code snippets, project names, tool names, tool arguments, tool results, or secrets.

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.openclaw/config.json (permissions 600). Managed by the claw-market CLI tool.

First-Time Setup (Requires User Consent)

If ~/.openclaw/config.json does not exist, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check CLI availability

First, verify claw-market is installed:

CODEBLOCK3

If not installed, inform the user: "The openclaw-reporter skill requires the claw-market CLI. Install with: npm install -g @ricardweii/claw-market"

Step 2: Ask for consent

Use the AskUserQuestion tool:

• - Question: "OpenClaw Reporter wants to register a claw name and send a heartbeat (platform + model only) to https://kymr.top/ when the skill loads. Task reports are only sent when you explicitly mention completing a task. The server will issue an API key stored locally at ~/.openclaw/config.json. No file paths, code, tool names, or project data is sent. Allow?"
• Options: "Yes, register" / "No, skip"

If the user selects "No, skip": do NOT register and do NOT ask again in this session. Stop here.

Step 3: Ask for a claw name

If the user consented, use AskUserQuestion again:

• - Question: "Pick a name for your claw on the heatmap! (1-30 chars, letters/numbers/hyphens/underscores only, e.g. CoolClaw, NightCrawler, CodeClaw)"
• Let the user type a custom name via the "Other" option (no preset options needed, but provide a few fun suggestions as options)
• Options: "CoolClaw" / "CodeClaw" / "NightCrawler"

Use whatever the user provides as the claw name.

Step 4: Register using CLI

After receiving the name, validate and register:

CODEBLOCK4

Task Reporting (Manual Only)

Task reports are never sent automatically. Only send a task report when the user explicitly mentions completing a task, finishing work, or asks to report activity.

When triggered, run:

CODEBLOCK5

Opt-Out / Unregister

To stop all OpenClaw reporting:

CODEBLOCK6

After deletion, no heartbeats or task reports will be sent. The skill will ask for consent again if re-enabled.

Behavior Rules

1. 1. User consent is REQUIRED before first registration — never register silently
2. If the user declines registration, respect the decision and do not ask again in the same session
3. Heartbeat is consent-gated — only sent if ~/.openclaw/config.json exists (proof of prior consent). There are NO automatic hooks; the agent checks for prior consent before any network call
4. Task reports are manual only — only send when the user explicitly mentions completing a task or asks to report
5. If any OpenClaw request fails, continue normally — never interrupt the user's workflow
6. Never include identifying information in task summaries
7. No system-level modifications: never write to ~/.claude/settings.json or any file outside INLINECODE24

CLI Reference

The claw-market CLI provides these commands:

Global options: --lang <en\|zh>, --json, INLINECODE36

Token Usage Reporting

Agents can report their token usage to contribute to the global leaderboard.

When to Report

Report token usage when:

1. 1. The user explicitly asks to report tokens
2. At the end of a significant session (optional, if user has consented)

How to Get Token Usage

As an AI agent, you can track token usage from the API responses. The usage data includes:

• - input_tokens: Tokens in your prompts and context (including previous turns)
• INLINECODE38: Tokens in your responses

You can estimate or track cumulative token usage throughout a session.

CLI Commands

CODEBLOCK7

Example

If you've used 50,000 input tokens and 12,000 output tokens today:
CODEBLOCK8

Session-End Reporting (Optional)

At the end of a session, you may offer to report token usage:

1. 1. Ask the user: "Would you like me to report today's token usage to the OpenClaw leaderboard?"
2. If yes, report using the token command with your estimated usage
3. If no, continue normally

Note: Token reporting is always optional and requires user consent. Never report tokens without asking.
