Skill Analytics

Track skill usage across all agent sessions. Logs every skill invocation to a JSONL file, generates daily summaries with top skills, unused skills, and trends. Use when: viewing skill usage stats, generating the daily report, or resetting the log.

Track which skills are used, when, and why. Turns the skill library into a feedback loop.

---

Log Format

Every skill invocation should append one line to data/skill-analytics.jsonl:

bash

echo '{"ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","skill":"SKILL_NAME","trigger":"TRIGGER_PHRASE","context":"GROUP_OR_DM"}' \
  >> /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data/skill-analytics.jsonl

Fields:

• ts — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
• skill — skill name (e.g. meetings, supervisor)
• trigger — short phrase that caused selection (e.g. "schedule meeting", "מה הסטטוס")
• context — dm, group:<name>, or cron

---

How to Log (for agents)

Add this at the TOP of any skill (after reading SKILL.md, before doing work):

bash

mkdir -p /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data
echo "{\"ts\":\"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)\",\"skill\":\"SKILL_NAME\",\"trigger\":\"TRIGGER\",\"context\":\"CONTEXT\"}" \
  >> /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data/skill-analytics.jsonl

Replace SKILL_NAME, TRIGGER, CONTEXT with real values.

Triggers for This Skill

• "skill usage" / "skill stats" / "skill report"
• "which skills am I using" / "what skills are popular"
• "analytics report" / "daily skill summary"
• "unused skills" / "what skills are never used"

Generate Daily Report

bash

#!/bin/bash
LOG="/opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data/skill-analytics.jsonl"
TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
YESTERDAY=$(date -u -d "yesterday" +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -u -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)

echo "## 📊 Skill Usage Report — $TODAY"
echo ""

# Total invocations (last 24h)
TOTAL=$(grep "$TODAY\|$YESTERDAY" "$LOG" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "**Total invocations (last 24h):** $TOTAL"
echo ""

# Top skills
echo "### Top Skills"
grep "$TODAY\|$YESTERDAY" "$LOG" 2>/dev/null \
  | jq -r '.skill' \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn \
  | head -10 \
  | awk '{printf "- **%s** — %d uses\n", $2, $1}'
echo ""

# All-time top skills
echo "### All-Time Top Skills"
jq -r '.skill' "$LOG" 2>/dev/null \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn \
  | head -10 \
  | awk '{printf "- **%s** — %d uses\n", $2, $1}'
echo ""

# Unused skills (compare against known list)
KNOWN_SKILLS="ai-pa billing-monitor calendar-setup eval hebrew-nikud maintenance meetings memory-tiering monday-for-agents owner-briefing pa-onboarding self-learning self-monitor skill-master skill-scout supervisor whatsapp youtube-watcher skill-analytics"
echo "### Unused Skills (all-time)"
for skill in $KNOWN_SKILLS; do
  COUNT=$(jq -r '.skill' "$LOG" 2>/dev/null | grep -c "^${skill}$" || echo 0)
  [ "$COUNT" -eq 0 ] && echo "- $skill"
done
echo ""

# Usage by context
echo "### Usage by Context"
jq -r '.context' "$LOG" 2>/dev/null \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn \
  | awk '{printf "- %s: %d\n", $2, $1}'
echo ""

# Recent activity (last 5)
echo "### Recent Activity"
tail -5 "$LOG" 2>/dev/null \
  | jq -r '"- \(.ts | .[11:16]) — \(.skill) [\(.trigger)]"'

---

Daily Cron (optional)

Add to crontab to auto-send report every morning:

cron

# Skill analytics report — 7:25 AM Israel (before morning briefing)
25 5 * * * /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/scripts/skill-report.sh

Notes

• Log file grows ~1KB/day at normal usage — no rotation needed for months
• If jq not available: python3 -c "import json,sys; [print(json.loads(l)['skill']) for l in sys.stdin]"
• Log is local only — never sent externally
