What is activity-notifier?
The Activity Notifier is a specialized utility designed for Openclaw Skills to bridge the visibility gap between autonomous agents and users. It allows agents to communicate their internal state—whether they are thinking, coding, or waiting on rate limits—directly to a Discord channel. This ensures that users are never left wondering if an agent is stuck during long-running or complex operations.
By providing a continuous stream of status updates, this skill transforms black-box processing into a transparent, interactive experience. It is particularly effective for developers who need to monitor the health and progress of their Openclaw Skills in collaborative environments.
activity-notifier Use Cases
- Monitoring long-running tasks like multi-skill installations or bulk file processing.
- Providing visibility during rate-limited API calls or external web searches.
- Tracking progress across sequential operations to ensure workflow transparency.
- Preventing user frustration by signaling active Thinking or Working states within Openclaw Skills.
How activity-notifier Works
- The agent initializes a task and triggers the activity notifier skill component.
- A status update is formatted using specific emojis and concise text based on the current operation.
- The skill uses the message tool to broadcast the update to a configured Discord channel.
- Real-time updates are sent as the agent transitions between states (e.g., from Web Search to Coding).
- A final completion or error message is sent to conclude the activity loop.
activity-notifier Setup
To integrate this functionality with your Openclaw Skills, ensure your Discord integration is active and configured:
# Configure your Discord token in your environment
export DISCORD_TOKEN="your_bot_token_here"
# Optional: Set a specific channel for activity updates
export ACTIVITY_CHANNEL_ID="your_channel_id"
