ClawHub

Agent Health Optimizer

Automation

Audit and improve your OpenClaw setup with one skill. Scores agent health, audits memory hygiene, checks cron reliability, and compares installed skills against ClawHub — with conservative fixes instead of reckless auto-repair.

Install

openclaw skills install agent-health-optimizer

Agent Health Optimizer

Diagnose, score, and steadily improve your OpenClaw setup.

This skill is an audit toolkit, not a magic self-healing system. It is good at surfacing likely problems, weak spots, and opportunities. Its --fix mode is intentionally conservative.

Requirements

  • python3 (3.8+)
  • openclaw CLI

Quick Start

# Full diagnostic suite — one command
python3 scripts/self_optimize.py

# Individual tools
python3 scripts/health_score.py         # Health grade (A+ to F)
python3 scripts/memory_auditor.py       # Memory hygiene check
python3 scripts/cron_optimizer.py       # Cron analysis
python3 scripts/cron_optimizer.py --fix # Conservative auto-repair (backs up first)
python3 scripts/skill_comparator.py     # Adjacent/overlapping ClawHub skills

What It Does

🏥 health_score.py — Agent Health Grade (0-100)

Scores 5 dimensions:

  • 🧠 Memory (25pts): MEMORY.md completeness, daily log activity, working buffer, anti-poisoning hygiene, source tags
  • ⏰ Cron (25pts): job health, schedule diversity, use of isolated sessions, suspicious delivery setups, selective stagger usage
  • 📦 Skills (20pts): count, overlap hints, ClawHub management ratio, metadata completeness
  • 🔒 Security (15pts): safety rules, anti-poisoning policy, WAL protocol, external action controls
  • 🔄 Continuity (15pts): SOUL.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, IDENTITY.md, git tracking

🔍 memory_auditor.py — Memory Hygiene

Detects:

  • Imperative rules that should be declarative facts
  • Missing source tags on factual entries
  • Stale entries >30 days with pending status
  • External content stored as instructions
  • Oversized files needing archival
  • Daily log gaps

⏰ cron_optimizer.py — Cron Job Doctor

Detects:

  • Error states with job names and error messages
  • Time collisions (multiple jobs on same schedule)
  • Missing stagger on burst-prone recurring schedules
  • Suspicious announce setups (for example explicit channel without explicit to)
  • Timeout mismatches
  • Session target recommendations (isolated vs main)

--fix mode:

  • creates memory/cron-backup.json before changes
  • only auto-adds stagger to recurring top-of-hour stampede-prone jobs
  • does not force delivery on jobs using delivery=none
  • does not modify exact-time jobs just because they lack stagger

📦 skill_comparator.py — Skill Landscape Checker

Via ClawHub API (https://clawhub.ai/api/v1/):

  • Fetches stars, downloads, installs for installed skills
  • Lists top ClawHub skills you're missing
  • Finds adjacent / overlapping skills with stronger community signals
  • Category coverage analysis (what domains are missing?)

Important: these are comparison hints, not authoritative replacements.

🔄 self_optimize.py — Unified Runner

Runs all 4 tools and produces:

  • Combined report with prioritized action items (HIGH/MED/LOW)
  • Trend tracking vs prior run (📈/📉)
  • JSON reports in memory/ for historical review

What It Reads & Writes

Reads (non-destructive):

  • Workspace files: MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, IDENTITY.md
  • Daily logs: memory/*.md
  • Skill metadata: skills/*/SKILL.md
  • Cron config: openclaw cron list --json
  • ClawHub public API: https://clawhub.ai/api/v1/skills/...

Writes (reports only):

  • memory/health-score.json
  • memory/memory-audit.json
  • memory/cron-optimizer.json
  • memory/skill-comparator.json
  • memory/self-optimize-report.json
  • memory/self-optimize-last.json

Modifies (only with --fix):

  • cron_optimizer.py --fix edits cron jobs via openclaw cron edit
  • Always backs up to memory/cron-backup.json first

Periodic Self-Optimization

Set up a weekly cron (read-only, no --fix):

openclaw cron add \
  --name "Agent Self-Optimize" \
  --cron "0 11 * * 0" \
  --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
  --session isolated \
  --stagger 2m \
  --no-deliver \
  --message "Run agent self-optimization:
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/agent-health-optimizer/scripts/self_optimize.py

Report results. List HIGH priority issues first. Keep it brief if everything looks fine."

Positioning

Use this skill when you want:

  • a periodic audit
  • a sanity check before changing agent architecture
  • conservative recommendations
  • a historical trend of agent health

Do not treat it as a substitute for human review on destructive or far-reaching changes.
