Scribe
WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
Scribe is a coherent local note-taking skill, but it broadly collects private chats, logs, preferences, drafts, and memory into persistent notes with limited scoping controls.
Install only if you explicitly want a local journal of broad OpenClaw and Cursor activity. Before running it, review which files it will scan, consider disabling Cursor history or draft scanning, and avoid scheduled runs until you are comfortable with where the generated notes are stored and how long they will be kept.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Private chats, preferences, personal memory files, and draft writing may be copied into new note files where they can be retained or later read by other tools or agents.
The skill is designed to aggregate highly personal local context into persistent notes. The artifacts do not show category opt-outs, redaction, retention controls, or safeguards for how these notes may be reused later.
Scribe automatically scans and analyzes: ... **Chat history** ... **Memory files** ... **Behavior files** - BEHAVIOR.md, DESIRES.md, TASTES.md, PREFERENCES.md ... **Drafts** ... Saves to Notes
Only run this on data you are comfortable journaling. Add explicit include/exclude controls, redaction for secrets, and retention guidance before using it routinely.
A daily or weekly run may include older log entries than expected, potentially copying more historical or sensitive activity into notes.
The daily/weekly modes imply time-bounded scanning, and the function computes a cutoff, but the shown log loop appends matching log entries without enforcing that cutoff.
cutoff_time = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=days_back)
for log_file in self.logs_dir.glob("*.log"):Enforce the cutoff before adding log entries, or clearly document that log scanning is not time-limited.
Cursor chats from unrelated workspaces may be included in generated notes, exposing more local history than a user may expect for an OpenClaw summary.
The code reads Cursor's user-level global and workspace storage databases rather than a narrowly selected project or conversation.
self.cursor_storage = Path.home() / "Library" / "Application Support" / "Cursor" / "User" self.global_db = self.cursor_storage / "globalStorage" / "state.vscdb" self.workspace_storage = self.cursor_storage / "workspaceStorage"
Ask the user to select specific Cursor workspaces or add a flag to disable Cursor history scanning by default.
If enabled, the skill can keep producing private activity summaries every day without a fresh manual review each time.
The documented cron integration is user-directed, but it enables recurring autonomous collection of sensitive local activity into notes.
### Cron Job Integration Add to your OpenClaw cron jobs: ... "message": "Run scribe.py --mode daily" ... "cron": "0 0 * * *"
Use scheduled runs only after reviewing the data sources and output location, and periodically audit or delete generated notes.
Users have less information for verifying who maintains the skill or where updates come from.
The artifacts do not provide a verifiable source or homepage for provenance, though the included script is visible in the supplied review material.
