Hour Meter (TARDIS on ClawHub)

Life event tracker with three modes, milestone notifications, and tamper-evident verification.

ClawHub Note: This skill is published as TARDIS on ClawHub after the original hour-meter listing was lost due to a repository sync issue.

Three Modes

COUNT UP — Time since an event

# Quit smoking tracker
meter.py create smoke-free --start "2025-06-15T08:00:00Z" -d "Last cigarette"
meter.py milestone smoke-free -t hours -v 720 -m "🎉 30 days smoke-free!"
meter.py lock smoke-free  # → Gives you paper code to save

COUNT DOWN — Time until an event

# Baby due date
meter.py create baby --start "2026-01-15" --end "2026-10-15" --mode down -d "Baby arriving!"
meter.py milestone baby -t percent -v 33 -m "👶 First trimester complete!"

COUNT BETWEEN — Journey from start to end

# Career span
meter.py create career --start "1998-05-15" --end "2038-05-15" -d "40-year career"
meter.py milestone career -t percent -v 50 -m "📊 Halfway through career!"
meter.py career --meter career --rate 85 --raise-pct 2.5

Tamper-Evident Persistence

When you lock a meter, you get a paper code — a short, checksummed code you can write on paper:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  PAPER CODE (write this down):                               ║
║     318B-3229-C523-2F9C-V                                    ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Four Ways to Save (Non-Technical)

1️⃣ PAPER — Write the code on paper/sticky note

• 20 characters with dashes, easy to copy
• Built-in checksum catches typos when verifying
• Keep in wallet, safe, or taped to equipment

2️⃣ PHOTO — Screenshot or photograph the lock screen

• Store in camera roll, cloud photos
• Visual backup, no typing required

3️⃣ WITNESS FILE — Auto-saved to ~/.openclaw/meter-witness.txt

• Append-only log of all locked meters
• Sync folder to Dropbox/iCloud/Google Drive for cloud backup
• Contains paper code + full hash + timestamp

4️⃣ EMAIL TO SELF — Click the mailto: link or copy the one-liner

• Opens your email client with pre-filled subject and body
• Or copy the compact message: 🔒 my-meter | Code: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-C | Locked: 2026-02-02
• Send to yourself, search inbox later to verify

5️⃣ SENDGRID EMAIL — Auto-send verification email on lock

# Set your SendGrid API key
export SENDGRID_API_KEY=SG.xxxxx
export SENDGRID_FROM_EMAIL=verified@yourdomain.com

# Lock and email in one command
meter.py lock my-meter --email you@example.com

• Sends a beautifully formatted HTML email with paper code
• Requires a verified sender in SendGrid (see SendGrid docs)
• Great for automated workflows

Verifying Later

# With paper code (catches typos!)
meter.py verify my-meter "318B-3229-C523-2F9C-V"

# → ✅ VERIFIED! Paper code matches.
# → ⚠️ CHECKSUM ERROR! (if you have a typo)
# → ❌ MISMATCH! (if tampered)

Milestones

meter.py milestone <name> --type hours --value 1000 --message "1000 hours!"
meter.py milestone <name> --type percent --value 50 --message "Halfway!"
meter.py check-milestones  # JSON output for automation

Email Milestone Notifications (v1.3.0)

Get milestone notifications sent directly to your email:

# Create meter with email notifications
meter.py create my-meter \
  --notify-email you@example.com \
  --from-email verified@yourdomain.com \
  -d "My tracked event"

# Add milestones as usual
meter.py milestone my-meter -t hours -v 24 -m "🎉 24 hours complete!"

# When check-milestones runs and a milestone fires, email is sent automatically
meter.py check-milestones
# → Triggers milestone AND sends email notification

Email includes:

• 🎯 Milestone message
• ⏱️ Current elapsed time
• 📝 Meter description

Requires SENDGRID_API_KEY environment variable.

Milestone Notifications: Heartbeat vs Cron

Recommended: HEARTBEAT (~30 min resolution)

• Add to HEARTBEAT.md: Run meter.py check-milestones and notify triggered
• Batches with other periodic checks
• Cost-efficient: shares token usage with other heartbeat tasks
• Good for most use cases (quit tracking, career milestones, etc.)

Milestone Messages

Milestones post their message text to the configured notification channel when triggered:

# Posts the message when milestone fires
meter.py milestone my-meter -t hours -v 24 -m "🎉 24 hours complete!"

Configure in HEARTBEAT.md:

- Run meter.py check-milestones and post triggered milestone messages to the configured channel

Advanced: Milestone messages prefixed with ACTION: can optionally be treated as agent instructions by your heartbeat config. This is an opt-in feature — see README.md for security considerations.

Alternative: CRON (precise timing)

• Use when exact timing matters (e.g., countdown to event)
• ⚠️ Cost warning: Cron at 1-minute intervals = 1,440 API calls/day = expensive!
• If using cron, keep intervals ≥15 minutes to manage costs
• Best for one-shot reminders, not continuous monitoring

Rule of thumb: If 30-minute resolution is acceptable, use heartbeat. Save cron for precision timing.

Quick Reference

meter.py create <name> [--start T] [--end T] [--mode up|down|between] [-d DESC]
meter.py lock <name>                # Seal + get paper code
meter.py verify <name> <code>       # Verify paper code
meter.py check <name>               # Status + progress
meter.py milestone <name> -t hours|percent -v N -m "..."
meter.py check-milestones           # All milestones (JSON)
meter.py witness [--show] [--path]  # Witness file
meter.py list                       # All meters
meter.py career [--meter M] [--rate R] [--raise-pct P]
meter.py export [name]              # JSON export

SendGrid Email Webhook Server

Receive real-time notifications when recipients open, click, bounce, or unsubscribe from your meter verification emails.

Setup

# Start webhook server with Discord webhook (recommended)
python sendgrid_webhook.py --port 8089 --discord-webhook https://discord.com/api/webhooks/xxx/yyy

# Or process events manually (for agent to post)
python sendgrid_webhook.py --process-events
python sendgrid_webhook.py --process-events --json

Discord Webhook Setup (Recommended)

1. In your Discord channel, go to Settings > Integrations > Webhooks
2. Click New Webhook, copy the URL
3. Pass to --discord-webhook or set DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL env var

SendGrid Setup

1. Go to SendGrid > Settings > Mail Settings > Event Webhook
2. Click "Create new webhook" (or edit existing)
3. Set HTTP POST URL to: https://your-domain.com/webhooks/sendgrid
4. Select all event types under Actions to be posted:

- Engagement data: Opened, Clicked, Unsubscribed, Spam Reports, Group Unsubscribes, Group Resubscribes - Deliverability Data: Processed, Dropped, Deferred, Bounced, Delivered - Account Data: Account Status Change

1. Click "Test Integration" to verify - this fires all event types to your webhook
2. Important: Click Save to enable the webhook!
3. (Optional) Enable Signed Event Webhook for security and set SENDGRID_WEBHOOK_PUBLIC_KEY

SendGrid Webhook Setup

Event Types

The 80,000 Hours Concept

Career as finite inventory: 40 years × 2,000 hrs/year = 80,000 hours.

meter.py career --hours-worked 56000 --rate 85 --raise-pct 2.5
# → 12.3 years remaining, $2.4M earning potential
