Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @iyeque/local-system-info
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install local-system-info
What This Skill Does
Exposes CPU, RAM, disk, and process metrics from the local machine via psutil. Returns structured JSON for any of five query types: summary, cpu, memory, disk, or processes.
Returns structured JSON output directly, making it easy to pipe results into other tools or agent steps without parsing plain-text output.
When to use it
- Checking memory pressure before running a heavy build
- Listing top CPU-consuming processes during a slowdown
- Monitoring disk usage on a development machine
- Getting CPU core count and load averages for capacity planning
- Automating system health checks in a local agent workflow
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: what's using the most CPU right now?
AGENT
- 1Call system_info with action=processes and limit=10
- 2Receive JSON array of top processes sorted by cpu_percent
- 3Identify the process with the highest cpu_percent value
- 4Format the process name, PID, and CPU percentage for the user
OUTPUT
Process 'python3' (PID 1234) is using 5.2% CPU, followed by ...
