A CLI tool that benchmarks OpenClaw agent cold and warm turn latency per release and alerts on regressions before they hit production

OpenClaw shipped 15 releases in 19 days during May 2026, with cold turn latency ranging from 9.8s (v2026.4.14) to 3.4s (v2026.5.27). Users have no automated way to detect when an update introduces a performance regression. Most find out after deploying to production and noticing sluggish agent responses. This tool runs standardized agent turn benchmarks against each new OpenClaw release, compares against a baseline, and flags regressions before users upgrade.

1 tool exist (OpenClaw Optimization Guide) but gaps remain: Static documentation only. No automated benchmarking, no regression detection, no per-release comparison.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

Automated cold/warm turn benchmarker that runs a standardized agent prompt against a fresh OpenClaw instance and records latency, peak RSS, and response token count

Release watcher that polls GitHub releases API, auto-downloads new OpenClaw versions, runs the benchmark suite, and compares against the previous version baseline

▶

Historical trend visualizer that renders latency, RSS, and package size charts across all benchmarked versions as a static HTML report
