Description
Auto-generates a CLI reference doc so your agent stops guessing OpenClaw commands and starts working. Discovers all commands, subcommands, and flags from you...
README (SKILL.md)
OpenClaw Boot Camp — Agent CLI Training
Every OpenClaw agent wastes tokens fumbling with CLI syntax. The --help command is broken on most subcommands. Flags get guessed wrong. Commands that don't exist get tried.
Boot Camp fixes that by discovering your actual CLI commands and generating a clean reference your agent can read.
Usage
bash bootcamp.sh
Follow the wizard. Your agent gets a cheat sheet at ~/.openclaw/workspace/notes/openclaw-cli-reference.md.
Modes
- Local Only (Quickest) — Discovers commands from your CLI. No internet, no API calls, no token cost.
- Local + Enrich (Recommended) — Local discovery + searches docs.openclaw.ai for your version. Still free.
What It Discovers
- All top-level commands with descriptions
- Every subcommand per command
- Every flag per command
- Which commands support
--json - Doc links for key commands (Enrich mode)
- Tips and gotchas baked in
Non-Interactive Mode
bash bootcamp.sh --yes --enrich
Version Management
Detects existing reference docs and offers to overwrite or keep both versions side-by-side.
Requirements
- OpenClaw installed and in PATH
- Bash 4+
- No other dependencies
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it runs your installed openclaw binary, parses the completion/help output, and writes a generated markdown reference to ~/.openclaw/workspace/notes. Before running: (1) inspect the bundled bootcamp.sh yourself (you already have it) to confirm there are no unexpected network calls in parts not shown; (2) be aware the script will call openclaw commands and may generate a completions file if missing (it does not overwrite an existing completion file); (3) only enable or allow the 'enrich' mode if you trust your agent's web access, since enrichment implies the agent may query docs.openclaw.ai or perform external searches; (4) back up any existing reference docs you care about. If you want extra caution, run the script in a contained environment or with verbose/tracing enabled to observe what openclaw subcommands it invokes.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: bootcamp
Version: 1.2.1
The 'bootcamp' skill is a utility designed to generate a CLI reference document for the OpenClaw agent. The core logic in `bootcamp.sh` scans local bash completion files and help outputs to map commands and flags, optionally enriching this data by fetching descriptions from official documentation at docs.openclaw.ai. The script uses standard text processing (grep, sed, and an inline Python parser) to create a markdown file in the agent's workspace. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim to discover CLI commands and generate a reference; the included bootcamp.sh actually reads completion/help output, parses commands/flags, and writes a markdown file to the OpenClaw workspace. Required resources (openclaw in PATH, Bash 4+, read/write under ~/.openclaw) match the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions and script operate locally: they call openclaw --version, openclaw --help, and openclaw completion --shell bash, parse outputs, and write the generated reference to ~/.openclaw/workspace/notes. The README/SKILL.md advertise an optional 'Local + Enrich' agent-assisted phase that may consult docs.openclaw.ai; the supplied script (as shown) does not contain explicit network calls but implies the agent may perform web searches during enrichment — so expect external queries only if you enable enrichment or your agent has web access.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with a bundled shell script. Nothing is downloaded or extracted from remote URLs during installation. Execution is local bash script usage.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no secrets, and no unrelated credentials. It reads/writes under the OpenClaw state directory (~/.openclaw) which is proportional to generating an OpenClaw CLI reference.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request permanent platform privileges. It writes its output into the OpenClaw workspace and may create a completion file if none exists — this write behavior is consistent with the stated goal. The script does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install bootcamp - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/bootcamp - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.2.1
Patch: enrichment phase now filters mid-sentence HTML fragments and incomplete-thought captures (no more comma/colon-led noise lines). Added curl --connect-timeout 5 / --max-time 15 so the wizard can't hang on a flaky doc server.
v1.2.0
Enrich now dynamically discovers ALL commands with flags (21 up from 9). Fetches full inline flag details from docs, not just links. 30 flags per page cap.
v1.1.0
Enrich mode now fetches inline flag details from docs instead of just links. Progress bar added. Wizard text polished. Next step guidance added.
v1.0.0
Initial release: CLI reference generator with wizard UI, local discovery + docs enrichment
