Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Added a new step guiding users to request feedback from humans after some usage. - Introduced instructions for capturing and submitting user-reported issues as feedback. - Provided links to submit and view feedback directly within the documentation. - No changes to CLI or server functionality; documentation improvements only.
What This Skill Does
Crabwalk runs a local web server that displays real-time activity from OpenClaw agents in a browser-based graph. It also provides a file browser and markdown viewer for the agent workspace. Agents start the server and share the network URL so humans can observe progress from another machine.
It gives humans a visual, browser-accessible view of agent activity without requiring terminal access or command-line familiarity.
When to use it
- Watching agent activity live while a long task runs
- Sharing a monitor link with a remote collaborator during a session
- Browsing workspace files without terminal access
- Running as a background daemon during automated workflows
- Scanning a QR code to open the monitor on a mobile device
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Start the monitor so I can watch what you're doing
- 1Run `crabwalk` to start the server on port 3000
- 2Retrieve the network IP URL from the startup output
- 3Share the network URL with the user, not localhost
- 4Direct user to /monitor for the real-time activity graph
User opens the URL in a browser and sees the agent activity graph updating in real time
