2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Autonomous agent health, optimization, and cleanup. Use when: (1) running scheduled cron jobs for agent maintenance, (2) responding to "optimize", "cleanup", "health check", "clear stalls", or "self-maintain" requests, (3) performing BMAD-style retrospective and continuous improvement, (4) checking sub-agent sessions, process health, memory usage, and context bloat, (5) ensuring fast response times and autonomous operation. This skill handles all self-optimization workflows including stale session cleanup, context compaction, and performance monitoring.

Agent Self-Care

Autonomous health monitoring and optimization for OpenClaw agents. Runs on cron or triggers manually.

Workflow

1. Check Sub-Agents

subagents action=list

Kill any stale sub-agents:

Running >30 min without progress
In "waiting" state
Failed/errored

2. Check Processes

process action=list

Kill hanging processes:

Running >10 min in background
No output in 5 min

3. Check Session Health

session_status

Metrics to watch:

Context usage >80% → trigger compaction
Tokens growing unbounded
Session age >2 hours → suggest refresh

4. Run Optimization Script

Execute scripts/optimize.sh which:

Clears completed cron job artifacts
Rotates logs if >50MB
Reports health metrics

5. BMAD Retrospective (every 10 runs)

After 10 executions, run:

Score last task 1-10
Identify gaps
Document improvements in memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Feed learnings into next run

Cron Schedule

Recommended: Every 5 minutes for active agents.

{
  "name": "agent-self-care",
  "schedule": {"kind": "every", "everyMs": 300000},
  "payload": {"kind": "agentTurn", "message": "Run agent-self-care skill"},
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "enabled": true
}

Output Format

Report after each run:

🔧 Self-Care Report
- Sub-agents: X active, Y killed
- Processes: X running, Y cleared
- Context: X% used
- Health: ✅ GOOD / ⚠️ WARNING
- Retrospective: SKIP / COMPLETE

Key Principles

Always clean - Never leave stalled sub-agents or processes
Proactive - Don't wait for user to ask
Document - Log issues and improvements
BMAD - Continuous self-evaluation every 10 runs
Fast - Complete in <30 seconds
