Habits skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Designs, tracks, and repairs personal habits — streaks, completion rates, routines, and quitting an unwanted one. Use when someone wants to start exercising, reading, meditating, or doing anything every day; when a habit keeps collapsing, a streak just broke, or nothing sticks past week two; when they ask how they are doing with a habit, want a daily check-in, a weekly review, or their completion rate; when quitting smoking, vaping, drinking, sugar, nail biting, or doomscrolling, and when a relapse needs a restart plan; when building a morning or evening routine or stacking a new behavior onto an existing cue; when travel, illness, shift work, ADHD, low mood, or a newborn wrecked the routine; and when accountability partners, stakes, rewards, or environment changes are the lever. Covers frequency rules, streak freezes, habit graduation and retirement. Not for goal setting and milestones (`goals`), whole-life productivity systems (`productivity`), or workout programming (`fitness`).

The Habits skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
