Bot Status API

What this skill does

Deploy a lightweight status API that exposes your OpenClaw bot's runtime health, service connectivity, cron jobs, skills, system metrics, and more. Use when setting up a monitoring dashboard, health endpoint, or status page for an OpenClaw agent. Supports any services via config (HTTP checks, CLI commands, file checks). Zero dependencies — Node.js only.

Bot Status API is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Bot Status API

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for bot-status-api and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Bot Status API with a single command:

openclaw skills add bot-status-api

This pulls bot-status-api from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/bot-status-api/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Bot Status API

Once installed, Bot Status API activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab bot-status-api-1.0.1.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/bot-status-api/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
