What it does

Dashclaw Weekly is an agent skill from ucsandman/DashClaw. Compile the week's maintainer-log entries + git history into ONE pasteable Reddit-ready DashClaw update. Drafts only — publishing stays human (MAINTAINER.md §4 spirit). Use when Wes asks for the weekly update, a Reddit digest, or "what happened this week".

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Writing & Content, covering Internal communications, Git workflow and Building AI agents. It works with Reddit and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Remote approvals, policy checks, and execution evidence for unattended AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wes asks for the weekly update
  • A Reddit digest
  • What happened this week

Example prompts

  • “what happened this week”
  • “/dashclaw-weekly”

Requirements

  • A credential in DASHCLAW_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cursor: find the last <!-- digest-posted: YYYY-MM-DD --> marker in
  2. Log entries: read the covered entries in docs/maintainer-log.md —
  3. Commits: git log --oneline --no-merges --since= on main —
  4. Dogfood stats (best-effort, skip silently if unavailable): with a

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 704824d. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DASHCLAW_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Dashclaw Weekly loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~747

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.

Compile the week's maintainer-log entries + git history into ONE pasteable Reddit-ready DashClaw update. Drafts only — publishing stays human (MAINTAINER.md §4 spirit). Use when Wes asks for the weekly update, a Reddit digest, or "what happened this week".

DashClaw weekly digest

Turn the maintainer's log into a public weekly update Wes can paste to Reddit unmodified. The story is the experiment: an AI maintains this repo under a human-held constitution (MAINTAINER.md), and these are its receipts.

Gather (in order)

  1. Cursor: find the last <!-- digest-posted: YYYY-MM-DD --> marker in docs/maintainer-log.md. Cover everything after it. No marker → last 7 days. An explicit range in the user's args overrides both.
  2. Log entries: read the covered entries in docs/maintainer-log.md — they are the primary source (decisions, incidents, numbers).
  3. Commits: git log --oneline --no-merges --since=<cursor> on main — cross-check nothing shipped unlogged. If something did, say so in the digest (the gap is itself content) and append a catch-up log entry.
  4. Dogfood stats (best-effort, skip silently if unavailable): with a local instance running and DASHCLAW_API_KEY in .env.local, GET /api/policies/summary (30-day decision outcome counts — label the window honestly) and /api/policies/proposals (open tuning proposals). These are the "the product governs its own maintainer" numbers.

Compose

One fenced code block, ready to paste. No hard wraps — one line per paragraph, blank lines between (Wes's standing formatting rule for copyable text). Plain language; define DashClaw terms on first use; no internal codenames, file paths only when they're the point.

Sections, in order, dropping any that are empty this week:

  • Title: DashClaw maintainer update — week of <date> (+ version if one shipped)
  • TL;DR: 2-3 sentences.
  • Shipped: what landed, with version + one-line why-it-matters each.
  • Decisions: the why behind non-obvious calls, from the log.
  • Incident of the week: the most instructive failure, told straight — these are the credibility of the whole series. Never omit one that's in the log.
  • The AI is governed by the product: dogfood stats when available.
  • Next up: the next roadmap item, one line.
  • Links: repo, MAINTAINER.md, docs/plans/owner-roadmap.md, docs/maintainer-log.md.

Hard rules

  • Draft only. Never post, never call outbound services. Deliver the block in chat; Wes publishes.
  • Log is source of truth — do not soften incidents or inflate numbers; every figure must trace to the log, git, or a live API response.
  • After Wes confirms he posted it, append <!-- digest-posted: YYYY-MM-DD --> on its own line at the TOP of the entries section of docs/maintainer-log.md (above the newest covered entry) so the next run starts after it. Not before confirmation.
