Buildlog Skill

Record your OpenClaw coding sessions and share them on buildlog.ai.

Overview

The buildlog skill captures your AI-assisted coding sessions in real-time, creating replayable recordings that can be shared with others. Perfect for:

• Tutorials: Share how you built something step-by-step
• Documentation: Create living documentation of complex implementations
• Debugging: Review sessions to understand what went wrong
• Learning: Study how others approach problems

Commands

Recording

• "Start a buildlog [title]" — Begin recording a new session
• "Stop the buildlog" — End recording and optionally upload
• "Pause the buildlog" — Temporarily pause recording
• "Resume the buildlog" — Continue a paused recording

Exporting

• "Export this session as a buildlog" — Convert current session to buildlog format
• "Export the last [N] messages" — Export a portion of the session

Uploading

• "Upload the buildlog" — Push to buildlog.ai
• "Share the buildlog" — Upload and get a shareable link

Annotations

• "Add a note: [text]" — Add commentary to the current point
• "Mark this as important" — Flag the current exchange
• "Add chapter: [title]" — Create a chapter marker

Status

• "Buildlog status" — Check recording state
• "Show buildlog info" — Display current recording details
