openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Show message timestamps and completed agent runtime in detail mode [2 comments, 1 participants]

TL;DR

Exposing timing information for agent runs can be achieved by modifying the detailed transcript/view to include message timestamps and calculating the total elapsed runtime after an agent run finishes.

Guidance

• To show message timestamps, consider adding a timestamp field to each message object in the detailed transcript/view.
• Calculate the total elapsed runtime by recording the start and end times of each agent run and displaying the difference.
• Update the UI to display the timestamp for each message and the total elapsed runtime after an agent run finishes, using suggested UX wording such as "worked for X" or "elapsed X".
• Ensure the timing information is accurately calculated and displayed in a user-friendly format.

Example

// Example of calculating elapsed runtime
const startTime = new Date();
// Agent run code here
const endTime = new Date();
const elapsedRuntime = (endTime - startTime) / 1000; // in seconds
const minutes = Math.floor(elapsedRuntime / 60);
const seconds = Math.floor(elapsedRuntime % 60);
console.log(`Worked for ${minutes}m ${seconds}s`);

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the programming language and framework used. This guidance assumes a basic understanding of date and time calculations.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the existing code to include timing information, as the issue does not imply a need for a version upgrade.
