Tokens tell you how much you paid. Tasks tell you what you got. Tally tracks every OpenClaw task from start to finish — cost, complexity, and efficiency score.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Reframes AI usage from token-counting to task-completion economics. Instead of "how many tokens?", answer "how much to get X done, and was it worth it?"
Tell OpenClaw: "Install the openclaw-tally skill." The agent will handle the installation and configuration automatically.
If you prefer the terminal, run: clawhub install openclaw-tally
Hook: This skill registers a message-post hook and processes every message. Local only: All processing is purely local. No data is sent to any external server. Message content: The task detector reads message text to identify task boundaries (start/complete/fail signals) using regex pattern matching. No message text is stored — only metadata (token count, model, session_id, complexity score) is persisted to the database. Sandboxed storage: SQLite database defaults to ~/.openclaw/tally/tally.db. A custom path can be provided for testing. Native dependency: Requires better-sqlite3 (native Node.js addon). Installation runs npm install which triggers a native build step. Permissions: No network access. No exec permissions. Filesystem limited to ~/.openclaw/tally/.
Detects tasks automatically from message streams (Layer 1: Task Detector) Attributes costs across sessions, sub-agents, and cron triggers (Layer 2: Task Ledger) Computes TES (Task Efficiency Score) per task, model, and cron (Layer 3: Analytics Engine)
/tasks list — Show recent tasks with status, cost, and TES /tasks stats — Summary statistics for a time period /tasks this-week — This week's task summary /tasks show <task_id> — Show task detail /tasks report --dimension model — Model efficiency report /tasks cron-health — Cron efficiency and health check
L1 (Reflex): Single-turn, text-only, no tools L2 (Routine): Multi-turn or 1–3 tool calls L3 (Mission): Multiple tools + file I/O + external APIs L4 (Campaign): Sub-agents + cron + cross-session
TES = quality_score / (normalized_cost × complexity_weight) > 2.0 🟢 Excellent 1.0–2.0 🟡 Good 0.5–1.0 🟠 Below average < 0.5 🔴 Poor 0.0 ⚫ Failed
When the skill is installed, it automatically hooks into message-post. Use the /tasks commands above to query analytics. All data is stored locally in ~/.openclaw/tally/tally.db. See PRD.md for the full product specification.
