Ponddepth Levels

Leveling overlay for OpenClaw Control UI (badge + XP + daily tip + level list + icons).

A game-like leveling overlay for OpenClaw Control UI.

Quick demo

What you get

• Top-left PondDepth badge with hover popover
• XP → Level + progress (reads companion-metrics.json)
• Daily one-line OpenClaw tip (reads openclaw-tip.json)
• Level list / XP ranges (hover ?) + current XP highlight
• i18n (zh/en) + compact skills list layout
• Level icons (B/F/S × 1..5)
• Skills install CTA (B2) that checks ClawHub auth status and guides users to run clawhub login

Requirements

• python3
• OpenClaw installed via Homebrew (default paths below)

Install

1) Install the skill

bash

clawhub install ponddepth-levels

2) Apply it to Control UI (copies assets into OpenClaw install)

bash

bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ponddepth-levels/scripts/install.sh

3) Refresh

Open Control UI and hard refresh.

What this modifies (important)

This skill copies files into your local OpenClaw installation:

• UI assets directory (default):
  • /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/control-ui/assets
• Files written/updated:
  • ponddepth-badge.js
  • ponddepth-icons/*.png

A timestamped backup is saved to:

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/_deleted/ponddepth-install-backups/<timestamp>/

Scheduled jobs (created on install)

The install script best-effort creates/updates two OpenClaw cron jobs:

1. PondDepth ClawHub status (10m)

   • Writes clawhub-status.json for the “Install skills” CTA UX

2. PondDepth companion metrics (hourly)

   • Generates companion-metrics.json (XP/level)

Configuration (optional)

You can override paths used by the install script:

• OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace)
• OPENCLAW_UI_ASSETS_DIR (default: Homebrew OpenClaw Control UI assets dir)

Example:

bash

export OPENCLAW_UI_ASSETS_DIR="/path/to/openclaw/dist/control-ui/assets"
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ponddepth-levels/scripts/install.sh

Uninstall

bash

bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ponddepth-levels/scripts/uninstall.sh

This removes the injected UI assets and (best-effort) restores the most recent backup from:

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/_deleted/ponddepth-install-backups/

Troubleshooting

• Nothing shows up: run the install script again, then hard refresh Control UI.
• Permissions error copying into /opt/homebrew/...: run with a user that has write permission to that Homebrew prefix (or set OPENCLAW_UI_ASSETS_DIR).
• Icons missing: ensure ponddepth-icons/ exists under the Control UI assets dir.

Notes for maintainers

• To keep publish size small, this package ships resized PNGs in assets/icons_bin/ and ignores assets/icons_b64/ during publish via .clawhubignore.
