What is Token Checker?

The Token Checker is a specialized automation utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to provide developers with consistent visibility into their AI resource consumption. By automating the process of checking token balances, this skill removes the need for manual status queries, allowing you to focus on your development tasks without worrying about unexpected quota exhaustion.

This skill operates in the background, leveraging system-level scheduling to ensure that your primary session remains updated with the latest token usage metrics. It is an essential tool for high-volume users who need to manage API costs and session longevity effectively within Openclaw Skills.

Token Checker Use Cases

  • Periodic monitoring of token balances during long-running AI development sessions.
  • Automated alerts to prevent workflow interruptions caused by reaching token limits.
  • Maintaining resource awareness when utilizing multiple Openclaw Skills simultaneously.

How Token Checker Works

  1. The skill initializes by setting up a system cron job during the installation phase.
  2. Every two hours, the scheduler triggers the check script to run in the background.
  3. The script calls the session_status tool to extract real-time token consumption data.
  4. The results are formatted and transmitted back to the main communication session for user review.

Token Checker Setup

To deploy this skill, ensure that the cron utility is installed on your host machine. Install the skill using the hub CLI:

clawdhub install token_checker

No additional configuration is required after installation as the setup script handles the cron registration automatically.

Token Checker Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill manages its operation through a set of lightweight shell scripts and documentation files as described below:

File Role
SKILL.md Technical documentation and skill metadata
