Agent Health Diagnostics

Scripts available in the Collective Skills repo

Overview

When an OpenClaw agent misbehaves — spamming messages, going dark, burning API credits, or looping on dead channels — this skill provides the diagnostic playbook. Covers the 4 most common failure modes with exact commands to diagnose and fix each one.

Battle-tested across a 6-agent deployment spanning 3 hosts (Windows + Linux + Proxmox).

When to Use This Skill

Use when you observe any of these symptoms:

• Agent sending repeated heartbeat/status messages to Telegram/Discord/etc.
• Agent goes silent despite gateway showing "active"
• Logs show 429 Too many tokens or rate_limit errors
• Channel connection loops: auto-restart attempt 1/10, 2/10, etc.
• Memory search errors: input length exceeds context length
• Gateway says "active" but agent doesn't respond to messages
