What is ClawPM?
ClawPM is a specialized project management utility designed for developers and AI agents who require structured, machine-readable task tracking. By prioritizing a JSON-first approach, it integrates seamlessly into Openclaw Skills workflows, allowing for precise project state management. It handles everything from simple task lists to complex subtask hierarchies and research logs without requiring a heavy web interface, making it ideal for automation and terminal-centric workflows.
ClawPM Use Cases
- Managing multiple coding projects with independent task tracking and status monitoring.
- Providing high-fidelity context to AI agents for resuming work sessions without losing state.
- Automating work logs and git commit tracking to maintain a clear audit trail of developer productivity.
- Organizing research notes and issue tracking within a local-first directory structure.
How ClawPM Works
- Initialize a project using the CLI which creates a local directory for metadata and settings.
- Create tasks and subtasks that are stored as Markdown files in structured states such as open, progress, done, or blocked.
- Use context commands to generate a comprehensive snapshot of project status, including recent work logs and git status.
- Transition task states to automatically trigger work log entries and file movements within the project structure for persistent record keeping.
ClawPM Setup
To get started with this skill, install it using the uv package manager and run the setup command to initialize your portfolio:
# Install via uv

ClawPM serves as a robust foundation among Openclaw Skills for those needing structured project oversight and agent-ready context.
