# hledger Skill for OpenClaw
The **hledger skill** allows OpenClaw agents to execute `hledger` CLI commands
on the host system and return structured output to the user.
This skill acts as a thin wrapper around the installed `hledger` binary.
---
## What This Skill Does
- Executes arbitrary `hledger` subcommands
- Returns stdout and stderr output
- Allows querying balances, registers, reports, and journal data
- Enables automation of personal finance workflows inside OpenClaw
---
## Example Usage
Input to the skill:
balance
Result:
Displays account balances from the default journal file.
Input:
register Assets
Result:
Displays register entries for the Assets account.
Input:
balance -f myledger.journal
Result:
Runs hledger against a specific ledger file.
---
## Requirements
- `hledger` must be installed and available in PATH
- The user must have read access to their ledger files
Test installation with:
hledger --version
---
## Security Notes
This skill executes shell commands using the local `hledger` binary.
It does not allow arbitrary shell execution — only `hledger` commands
are prefixed and executed.
---
## Intended Use
- Personal finance automation
- Ledger querying via chat
- Integration with Telegram or WhatsApp bots powered by OpenClaw
- Financial reporting pipelines
---
## Version
1.0.0
