Agentnotes

Log OpenClaw tasks to AgentNotes for SparkNotes rollups (success, failures, what happened). Use after cron jobs, channel replies, or multi-step sessions. Requires AGENTNOTES_API_KEY and AGENTNOTES_AGENT_ID env vars.

AgentNotes for OpenClaw

Send high-level job summaries to AgentNotes. Raw logs are rolled up hourly/daily into SparkNotes; you do not need to store every line forever.

Setup (once)

1. AgentNotes dashboard → create agent (note the slug) → copy env vars from Connect.
2. Install this skill (see dashboard Connect → OpenClaw tab, or run install-skill.ps1 / install-skill.sh from the repo).
3. Add env to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      agentnotes: {
        enabled: true,
        env: {
          AGENTNOTES_API_KEY: "an_...",
          AGENTNOTES_AGENT_ID: "your-slug",
          AGENTNOTES_BASE_URL: "https://your-app.vercel.app",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

4. Restart OpenClaw / new session. Verify:

node {baseDir}/scripts/verify.mjs

Recommended: one command per task

Always pass a plain-English summary (this becomes the CEO-facing SparkNote):

node {baseDir}/scripts/task.mjs --summary "Replied to 2 Telegram chats, scheduled 1 meeting"

With an extra step log:

node {baseDir}/scripts/task.mjs --summary "Inbox sweep done" --message "Processed 12 threads" --step inbox

On failure:

node {baseDir}/scripts/task.mjs --summary "Send failed" --failed --error "SMTP timeout"

Manual multi-step flow

export AGENTNOTES_RUN_ID=$(node {baseDir}/scripts/start-run.mjs)
node {baseDir}/scripts/log.mjs "Tool: calendar" --step tools
node {baseDir}/scripts/complete-run.mjs --summary "Updated 3 events"

When to log

• After handling a user message on any channel
• After a cron / heartbeat completes
• After a skill or tool chain finishes (success or failure)

Dashboard

$AGENTNOTES_BASE_URL/agents — SparkNotes tab is the long-term record.
