Agent Wake Skill for OpenClaw: Notify Discord When Tasks Complete

A developer has published a free skill called "agent-wake" that solves a common OpenClaw workflow issue: when Claude Code runs background tasks, the agent doesn't automatically respond to completions.

What It Does

The skill consists of a Python script named agent-wake.py that Claude Code calls at the end of every task. When executed, it performs two actions:

• Sends a mention ping in Discord
• Fires a wake event into your agent's session via the gateway HTTP API

This causes the agent to wake up, read the task completion, and post a summary in the appropriate channel without requiring manual prompting.

Configuration Requirements

The developer encountered two specific configuration issues that others should be aware of:

• The cron tool is blocked by default on the gateway HTTP API. You must add it to gateway.tools.allow in your openclaw.json configuration file, otherwise the wake call fails silently.
• You need to pass sessionKey in the request body. Without this parameter, the agent wakes up in your default channel instead of the channel where you're actually working.

The developer notes that while the concept might seem straightforward, implementation took several days to get working correctly. The skill is available for free at clawhub.com/skills/agent-wake.
