Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Crabwalk is a local web server that provides a real-time activity monitor for OpenClaw agents. It exposes a browser-based dashboard at /monitor showing an agent activity graph, and a /workspace view for browsing files and markdown. It connects to the OpenClaw gateway via WebSocket and auto-detects credentials from the local config.
It gives a human-readable view of agent activity without requiring any changes to the agents themselves.
When to use it
- Watching agent activity in real-time during a long-running task
- Sharing a live monitor link with a collaborator on the same network
- Browsing agent-generated files without leaving the browser
- Running the monitor as a background daemon during development sessions
- Checking whether agents are active or idle at a glance
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Start the agent monitor so I can share it with my colleague
- 1Run `crabwalk` to start the server on port 3000
- 2Retrieve the network IP URL (http://192.x.x.x:3000)
- 3Share the network URL with the colleague (not localhost)
- 4Direct colleague to /monitor to view the real-time activity graph
Colleague can view live agent activity in their browser at the shared network URL
