What is erpclaw-projects?
erpclaw-projects is a specialized tool within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to handle the complexities of project lifecycles, from initial task breakdown to final timesheet billing. It functions as an AI-native Project Manager, allowing developers and managers to track work through a secure, local-only SQLite database without relying on external cloud services.
This skill bridges the gap between technical execution and business accountability by managing projects, milestones, and resource utilization. Whether handling internal company work or billable consulting projects, it provides an immutable audit trail and detailed reporting capabilities directly through the Openclaw interface.
erpclaw-projects Use Cases
- Creating and tracking multi-phase projects with specific start and end dates.
- Assigning tasks to employees with priority levels and estimated hours.
- Setting project milestones to visualize deliverables and timelines.
- Logging billable hours via a multi-stage timesheet lifecycle including draft, submitted, and billed states.
- Generating project profitability and resource utilization reports to optimize team performance.
How erpclaw-projects Works
- The user triggers the skill by mentioning project, task, or timesheet related keywords.
- The skill interacts with the local data.sqlite database using parameterized Python scripts to ensure SQL injection safety.
- Projects and tasks are generated with unique naming series like PROJ-YEAR-SEQUENCE via a shared naming library.
- Employees log hours against specific tasks, which are aggregated into structured timesheets.
- The system calculates costs and billing amounts based on defined rates, facilitating real-time profitability analysis without external API calls.
erpclaw-projects Setup
