OpenClaw Dashboard Skill Launch and manage the OpenClaw Dashboard web UI for monitoring all your bots, agents, models, and sessions. Activation Activate when user says: "打开 OpenClaw-bot-review" "打开 Openclaw dashboard" "打开 bot review" "打开机器人大盘" "打开 bot-review" "打开openclaw机器人大盘" "open openclaw dashboard" "open OpenClaw-bot-review" "open bot review" "open bot-review" "launch bot review" "start dashboard" What This Skill Does Detects the operating system (macOS/Windows) Checks if git is installed Downloads/clones the OpenClaw Dashboard project if not already present Installs dependencies (npm install) Starts the development server in background Returns the access URL to the user Installation Directory macOS/Linux : ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review/ Windows : %USERPROFILE%\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review\ Prerequisites Node.js 18+ must be installed OpenClaw config at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or %USERPROFILE%.openclaw\openclaw.json on Windows) Workflow Step 1: Check if already running and stop it
Check if process is already running on port 3000
macOS/Linux
lsof -ti:3000
Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :3000 If already running: Stop the service first (ensure clean restart) macOS/Linux: lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9 2
/dev/null echo "已停止旧服务" Windows (PowerShell): Get-Process - Id ( Get-NetTCPConnection - LocalPort 3000 ) . OwningProcess | Stop-Process - Force Write-Host "已停止旧服务" Windows (cmd): for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -ano ^| findstr :3000') do taskkill /F /PID %a echo 已停止旧服务 Then proceed to Step 1.5. Step 1.5: Check for updates (if project exists) If project exists, check if there's a newer version: If git is available:
macOS/Linux
cd ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review git fetch origin main 2
/dev/null LOCAL = $( git rev-parse HEAD 2
/dev/null ) REMOTE = $( git rev-parse origin/main 2
/dev/null ) if [ " $LOCAL " != " $REMOTE " ] ; then echo "update_available" else echo "up_to_date" fi
Windows (PowerShell)
cd " $env :USERPROFILE\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" git fetch origin main 2
$null $local = git rev-parse HEAD 2
$null $remote = git rev-parse origin/main 2
$null if ( $local -ne $remote ) { "update_available" } else { "up_to_date" } If update available: Inform user: "检测到新版本,正在更新..." Pull latest code: git pull origin main Reinstall dependencies: npm install Continue to Step 5 (start service) If up to date: Continue to Step 5 (start service) If git is NOT available: Inform user: "检测到项目无 git 管理,正在重新下载最新版本..." Remove old project directory:
macOS/Linux
rm -rf ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review
Windows (PowerShell)
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force " $env :USERPROFILE\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" Go to Step 3 (download project via ZIP) Step 2: Check if project exists
macOS/Linux
test -d ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review && echo "exists" || echo "not found"
Windows (PowerShell)
Test-Path " $env :USERPROFILE\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" If exists, skip to Step 4. Step 3: Download project Option A: With git (preferred)
macOS/Linux
mkdir -p ~/projects cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/xmanrui/OpenClaw-bot-review.git
Windows (PowerShell)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path " $env :USERPROFILE\projects" cd " $env :USERPROFILE\projects" git clone https://github.com/xmanrui/OpenClaw-bot-review.git Option B: Without git (fallback) macOS/Linux: mkdir -p ~/projects cd ~/projects curl -L https://github.com/xmanrui/OpenClaw-bot-review/archive/refs/heads/main.zip -o openclaw-dashboard.zip unzip openclaw-dashboard.zip mv OpenClaw-bot-review-main OpenClaw-bot-review rm openclaw-dashboard.zip Windows (PowerShell): New-Item - ItemType Directory - Force - Path " $env :USERPROFILE\projects" cd " $env :USERPROFILE\projects" Invoke-WebRequest - Uri "https://github.com/xmanrui/OpenClaw-bot-review/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" - OutFile "openclaw-dashboard.zip" Expand-Archive - Path "openclaw-dashboard.zip" - DestinationPath "." Rename-Item - Path "OpenClaw-bot-review-main" - NewName "OpenClaw-bot-review" Remove-Item "openclaw-dashboard.zip" Windows (cmd with curl - Windows 10+): mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\projects" 2>nul cd /d "%USERPROFILE%\projects" curl -L https://github.com/xmanrui/OpenClaw-bot-review/archive/refs/heads/main.zip -o openclaw-dashboard.zip tar -xf openclaw-dashboard.zip ren OpenClaw-bot-review-main OpenClaw-bot-review del openclaw-dashboard.zip Step 4: Install dependencies (if needed) Check if node_modules exists. If not:
macOS/Linux
cd ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review npm install
Windows
cd "%USERPROFILE%\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" npm install Step 5: Start the server macOS/Linux: cd ~/projects/OpenClaw-bot-review npm run dev
/dev/null 2
&1 & Windows (PowerShell): cd " $env :USERPROFILE\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" Start-Process - NoNewWindow - FilePath "npm" - ArgumentList "run" , "dev" Windows (cmd): cd /d "%USERPROFILE%\projects\OpenClaw-bot-review" start /B npm run dev Step 6: Wait for server to be ready Poll http://localhost:3000 until it responds (max 30 seconds).
macOS/Linux
for i in { 1 .. 30 } ; do curl -s http://localhost:3000
/dev/null && break sleep 1 done
Windows (PowerShell)
- for
- (
- $i
- =
- 0
- ;
- $i
- -lt
- 30
- ;
- $i
- ++
- )
- {
- try
- {
- Invoke-WebRequest
- -Uri

- Out-Null
- break

- catch

- Start-Sleep
- -Seconds
- 1
- }
- }
- Step 7: Return access URLs (required)
- You MUST return both:
- Local URL
- LAN URL
- First, actually detect the machine's LAN IPv4 address. Do not guess it.
- macOS/Linux:
- (
- ipconfig getifaddr en0
- ||
- ipconfig getifaddr en1
- ||
- hostname
- -I
- |
- awk
- '{print $1}'
- )
- 2
- >
- /dev/null
- Windows (PowerShell):
- (
- Get-NetIPAddress
- -
- AddressFamily IPv4
- -
- InterfaceAlias
- "Ethernet*"
- ,
- "Wi-Fi*"
- |
- Select-Object
- -
- First 1
- )
- .
- IPAddress
- Rules:
- You MUST execute an IP detection command before composing the final reply.
- Do NOT guess or fabricate the LAN IP.
- Do NOT omit the LAN URL just because localhost works.
- You MUST include both the local URL and the LAN URL in the final reply.
- If LAN IP detection fails, you MUST still include the local URL and explicitly say:
- 局域网访问地址:获取失败
- and briefly mention that LAN IP detection failed.
- Do NOT end with only a localhost URL.
- Return message format:
- ✅ OpenClaw Dashboard 已启动!
- 访问地址:
- - 本地访问:http://localhost:3000
- - 局域网访问:http://
:3000 - Dashboard 会自动读取你的 OpenClaw 配置,展示所有机器人、模型、会话的状态。
- 需要停止服务时告诉我一声。
- If LAN IP detection fails, use:
- ✅ OpenClaw Dashboard 已启动!
- 访问地址:
- - 本地访问:http://localhost:3000
- - 局域网访问:获取失败
- 原因:未能检测到当前机器的局域网 IPv4 地址。
- 需要停止服务时告诉我一声。
- Stopping the Server
- When user asks to stop:
- macOS/Linux:
- lsof
- -ti:3000
- |
- xargs
- kill
- -9
- Windows (PowerShell):
- Get-Process
- -
- Id
- (
- Get-NetTCPConnection
- -
- LocalPort 3000
- )
- .
- OwningProcess
- |
- Stop-Process
- -
- Force
- Windows (cmd):
- for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -ano ^| findstr :3000') do taskkill /F /PID %a
- Error Handling
- Node.js not found
-
- Tell user to install Node.js 18+ from
- https://nodejs.org/
- Port 3000 already in use
-
- Check if it's the dashboard (return URL) or another service (suggest using a different port with
- PORT=3001 npm run dev
- )
- OpenClaw config not found
-
- Warn that dashboard may not work properly without
- ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
- Download failed
-
- Suggest checking internet connection or manually downloading from GitHub
- npm install failed
- Suggest running npm cache clean --force and retrying Notes The server runs in background and persists until stopped or system reboot Dashboard reads config directly from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json - no database needed Supports auto-refresh, dark/light theme, i18n (Chinese/English) Includes pixel-art office animation for fun visualization Platform Detection
Detect OS
uname -s
macOS: Darwin, Linux: Linux, Windows (Git Bash): MINGW/MSYS
Windows detection in PowerShell
$PSVersionTable .Platform
Win32NT or empty on Windows
Git Detection
Check if git is available
git --version
Exit code 0 = installed, non-zero = not installed
- Detection logic:
- Run
- git --version
- at the beginning
- Store result (available/not available)
- Use this result throughout the workflow
- If git not available:
- Always use ZIP download method
- Always force re-download when project exists (to get latest version)
- Clean up old directory before downloading
- Implementation Tips
- Always stop old service first
- - ensures clean restart with latest code
- Check git availability at the start
- - determines update strategy
- With git
-
- Check for updates and pull if needed
- Without git
- Force re-download ZIP to ensure latest version No user confirmation needed - auto-update and restart for best UX Use background process management to avoid blocking Provide clear feedback at each step ("已停止旧服务", "检测到新版本,正在更新...", "正在重新下载最新版本...") Handle both PowerShell and cmd on Windows Clean up temporary files (zip archives) Log errors for debugging but keep user messages simple Always ensure latest code - either via git pull or re-download
