## Documentation

### Monkeytype Tracker

Track your Monkeytype typing statistics and get personalized improvement tips.

### Pre-Flight Check (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)

Before running ANY command, check if setup is complete:

Security Priority:

Environment variable (most secure): MONKEYTYPE_APE_KEY
Config file fallback: ~/.openclaw/workspace/config/monkeytype.json

# Check environment variable first
ape_key = os.getenv('MONKEYTYPE_APE_KEY')
if not ape_key:
    # Check config exists and has valid key
    config_path = Path.home() / ".openclaw" / "workspace" / "config" / "monkeytype.json"

If no env var AND no config: → Run Setup Flow (Step 1)
If apeKey exists but API returns 471 "inactive": → Tell user to activate the key (checkbox)
If apeKey works: → Proceed with command

### Step 1: Get ApeKey

Send this message:

Hey! 👋 I see you want to track your Monkeytype stats. I'll need your API key to get started.

**🔑 How to get it:**
1. Go to monkeytype.com → **Account Settings** (click your profile icon)
2. Select **"Ape Keys"** from the left sidebar
3. Click **"Generate new key"**
4. ⚠️ **Activate it:** Check the checkbox next to your new key (keys are inactive by default!)
5. Copy the key and send it to me

Once you share the key, I'll ask about automation preferences 🤖

---

🔒 **Prefer to add it manually?** No problem!

**Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended - Most Secure)**
Set in your system:
- Windows (PowerShell): \`$env:MONKEYTYPE_APE_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE"\`
- Linux/Mac: \`export MONKEYTYPE_APE_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE"\`

**Option 2: Config File**
Create this file: \`~/.openclaw/workspace/config/monkeytype.json\`
With this content:
{
  "apeKey": "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}

Then just say "monkeytype stats" and I'll take it from there!

After receiving key:

Save to ~/.openclaw/workspace/config/monkeytype.json:

{
  "apeKey": "USER_KEY_HERE",
  "automations": {
    "dailyReport": false,
    "weeklyReport": false,
    "reportTime": "20:00"
  }
}

Test the key immediately by running python scripts/monkeytype_stats.py stats
If 471 error → Key is inactive, ask user to check the checkbox
If success → Proceed to Step 2

### Step 2: Verify & Ask Automation Preferences

After key verification succeeds, send:

Got it! Key saved and verified ✅

**📊 Quick Overview:**
• {tests} tests completed ({hours} hrs)
• 🏆 PB: {pb_15}WPM (15s) | {pb_30}WPM (30s) | {pb_60}WPM (60s)
• 🔥 Current streak: {streak} days

Now, would you like automated reports?

**Options:**
1️⃣ **Daily report** — Summary of the day's practice
2️⃣ **Weekly report** — Week-over-week comparison + tips
3️⃣ **Both**
4️⃣ **None** — On-demand only

⏰ What time should I send reports? (default: 8pm)

### Step 3: Finalize Setup

After user chooses options:

Update config with preferences
Create cron jobs if automations enabled:

Daily: 0 {hour} * * * with name monkeytype-daily-report
Weekly: 0 {hour} * * 0 with name monkeytype-weekly-report


Send completion message:

🎉 **You're all set!**

**✅ Config saved:**
• Weekly report: {status}
• Daily report: {status}

**💡 Try these anytime:**
• "show my typing stats"
• "how's my typing progress"
• "compare my typing this week"
• "monkeytype leaderboard"

Happy typing! May your WPM be ever higher 🚀⌨️

### Fetch Stats

Triggers: "show my monkeytype stats", "how's my typing", "typing stats"

Pre-flight check (see above)
Run: python scripts/monkeytype_stats.py stats
Format output nicely with emojis

### Recent History & Analysis

Triggers: "analyze my recent typing", "how have I been typing lately"

Pre-flight check
Run: python scripts/monkeytype_stats.py history --limit 50
Analyze output and provide 2-3 improvement tips

### Progress Comparison

Triggers: "compare my typing progress", "am I improving"

Pre-flight check
Run: python scripts/monkeytype_stats.py compare

### Leaderboard Lookup

Triggers: "monkeytype leaderboard", "where do I rank"

Pre-flight check
Run: python scripts/monkeytype_stats.py leaderboard [--mode time] [--mode2 60]

### Improvement Tips Logic

After fetching stats, analyze and provide tips based on:

IssueTipStdDev > 15"Focus on consistency — slow down and aim for 95%+ accuracy every test"Accuracy < 95%"Accuracy builds speed. Slow down until you hit 95%+ consistently"60s << 30s PB"Stamina gap detected. Practice longer tests to build endurance"Low test count"More practice = faster progress. Aim for 5-10 tests daily"Streak broken"Consistency matters! Try to type a bit every day"
