- Health monitoring and cost optimization tool for OpenClaw skill ecosystems and power users managing multiple skills. Track all installed skills with real-time health scoring, detect stale skills (unused for 30+ days), identify skills with security flags or vulnerabilities, and monitor for available updates. View comprehensive cost dashboards showing API usage, estimated monthly costs, and spending per skill to identify expensive skills and optimize budget allocation. Set monthly cost budgets and receive alerts when approaching limits. Scan skill installation directories to discover all active skills and build baseline health metrics. Perform security checks for file integrity, vulnerability detection, and suspicious patterns. View usage statistics including trigger counts, execution duration, success rates, and trends over time. Generate detailed reports in markdown or JSON format for stakeholder communication and compliance documentation. Perfect for power users, development teams, and organizations managing complex skill infrastructures who need visibility into skill health, costs, and security posture.
