Introducing Glance for OpenClaw

The Dashboard Skill for OpenClaw

Stop configuring dashboards. Just tell OpenClaw what you want to see.

Start Using It

You:"OpenClaw, add a widget showing my GitHub PRs"
OpenClaw:*creates the widget, stores your GitHub token, adds it to the dashboard*
You:"What needs my attention?"
OpenClaw:"You have 3 PRs waiting for review. One has failing CI."

That's it. OpenClaw handles the rest.
