Use chirpier-skills

chirpier-skills is the recommended way to make Chirpier feel native inside OpenClaw.

It gives OpenClaw an opinionated workflow for:

  • canonical event names
  • valid policy patterns
  • destination setup and testing
  • alert triage and delivery inspection

Install the skills

# Install all skills npx skills @chirpier/chirpier-skills # Or install individual skills npx skills @chirpier/chirpier-skills/chirpier npx skills @chirpier/chirpier-skills/chirpier-monitoring npx skills @chirpier/chirpier-skills/chirpier-destinations npx skills @chirpier/chirpier-skills/chirpier-alert-triage
  1. export CHIRPIER_API_KEY
  2. start with the chirpier skill
  3. read the event taxonomy
  4. pick a playbook
  5. emit events first, then create policies
  6. test destinations before relying on real alert delivery

Which skill to use

  • chirpier: default starting point for sending events, reading event definitions, creating policies, inspecting alerts, and testing destinations
  • chirpier-monitoring: best for market monitoring, sentiment workflows, tool failures, and latency tracking
  • chirpier-destinations: focused on Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, and generic destination setup
  • chirpier-alert-triage: focused on reading active alerts, checking deliveries, acknowledging, resolving, and archiving

What to tell OpenClaw

These are good prompts or task instructions for an OpenClaw workflow that has chirpier-skills available:

  • “Send OpenClaw task duration and error events to Chirpier”
  • “Create a policy for OpenClaw tool failures in the last hour”
  • “Analyze Reddit sentiment about Bitcoin and alert if sentiment drops”
  • “Set up a Slack destination for Chirpier alerts”
  • “Test my Telegram destination and inspect delivery history”

Why this helps

Without skills, each OpenClaw workflow may invent its own event names and policy patterns.

With chirpier-skills, OpenClaw gets consistent guidance:

  • event names are the schema
  • use canonical OpenClaw events first
  • do not encode time windows into event names
  • use rollups and policies for hourly or daily logic
  • use analytics previous windows for explicit comparison queries
  • treat meta as inspection context in v1

Contract source of truth

chirpier-skills should follow the contract defined in the docs site.

  • use docs as the normative source for periods, event grammar, analytics window conventions, and delivery-history kinds
  • treat chirpier-skills as the operational layer OpenClaw follows when applying that contract

For testing, start with guided mode first:

  1. explicitly tell OpenClaw to use chirpier-skills
  2. verify it emits canonical event names and valid policies
  3. then repeat in natural mode and confirm it still follows the same contract
