What openclaw-control-center does

This skill covers a local OpenClaw control center for inspecting agent activity. Its views include system status, pending work, active staff, task execution chains, parent-child handoffs, and verified messages between sessions. It also tracks token spend, quota windows, context pressure, agent memory, source documents, and connector status.

The project uses TypeScript runtime connectors and a UI, with commands for building, testing, linting, and checking the UI endpoints. Settings live in .env; the gateway address comes from OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL, while local token authentication is enabled by default. Running the application requires npm install, a build, and npm run dev:ui.

Keep project changes inside control-center/. The file ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json must not be edited. Readonly mode blocks state-changing endpoints, and approval actions stay disabled unless the security settings are changed.

What it helps with

  • inspect the current OpenClaw agent roster
  • attribute token use to individual tasks
  • trace handoffs across sessions
  • review task runs and approval state
  • open agent memory and source documents

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show the OpenClaw system overview and active agents.
  • Break down token usage by task and report context pressure.
  • Trace the handoff from a parent session to its child session.
