What it does

Mactop is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Retrieve real-time hardware metrics from Apple Silicon Macs using mactop's TOON format. Provides CPU, RAM, GPU, power, thermal, network, disk I/O, and Thunderbolt bus information. Use when the user wants system stats, hardware monitoring, or performance metrics on Apple Silicon Macs.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants system stats
  • Hardware monitoring
  • Performance metrics on Apple Silicon Macs

Example prompts

  • “/mactop”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • brew

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mactop loads about 670 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 98 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~670

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 98 words (~670 tokens).

“Execute mactop in headless TOON mode and parse the output for hardware metrics.”
