Assistant Burst Summary Hook
Use this skill when Ethan asks about the post-voice-note burst summary hook, installing it on OpenClaw, installing the Claude Code equivalent, or rolling it out across Agent Bridge machines.
What it does
- Treats a detected voice note / audio transcript as a burst boundary.
- Tracks assistant outbound Telegram messages after that boundary.
- After the assistant has sent
threshold messages (default 3) and then goes quiet for inactivityMs (default 300000, five minutes), sends one Telegram blockquote summary.
- Ignores its own
Burst summary messages so it does not loop.
- Scopes state per harness/session/chat target where the harness provides those identifiers.
OpenClaw path
Prefer the OpenClaw plugin entry at the repo root:
openclaw plugins install /path/to/assistant-burst-summary-hook --link
openclaw plugins enable assistant-burst-summary-hook
Add plugin config under plugins.entries.assistant-burst-summary-hook, then restart/reload OpenClaw only with Ethan's approval if the active gateway does not hot-load plugin installs.
Claude Code path
Prefer the Claude Code plugin/hook pack at the repo root:
claude plugin marketplace add /path/to/assistant-burst-summary-hook --scope user
claude plugin install assistant-burst-summary-hook@assistant-burst-summary-hook --scope user
Set ASSISTANT_BURST_SUMMARY_CONFIG or create ~/.config/assistant-burst-summary-hook/config.json with a Telegram chat id and token env name.
Validation
Run:
npm test
node bin/assistant-burst-summary-hook.js simulate --json
node --input-type=module -e "await import('./src/openclaw/index.js')"
claude plugin validate .
Do not paste raw transcript logs into chat. Summarize results and cite file paths.
