Install in OpenClaw
/install openclaw-config
Description
Edit and validate OpenClaw Gateway config (openclaw.json / JSON5). Use when adding/changing config keys (gateway.*, agents.*, models.*, channels.*, tools.*, skills.*, plugins.*, $include) or diagnosing openclaw doctor/config validation errors, to avoid schema mismatches that prevent the Gateway from starting or weaken security policies.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want an agent to help manage OpenClaw Gateway configuration. Review proposed changes before applying them, prefer targeted config set/unset edits over whole-file replacement, keep backups, validate after changes, and avoid putting long-lived tokens directly in openclaw.json.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-config
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is benign, focusing on safe editing and validation of OpenClaw Gateway configuration. Key indicators of benign intent include explicit guardrails in SKILL.md against automatically applying fixes (`openclaw doctor --fix/--yes`) without user consent, strong recommendations to use environment variables for secrets instead of committing them to config, and a shell script (`scripts/openclaw-config-check.sh`) that performs security-conscious file permission checks on the configuration file. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The purpose is coherent: it helps users modify OpenClaw Gateway config and validate schema-sensitive settings. This can affect security, channels, tools, skills, plugins, and gateway behavior, but that authority is central to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The instructions favor schema lookup, small config edits, validation with openclaw doctor, and caution around whole-config replacement. Automatic doctor fixes are specifically gated on explicit user consent.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains markdown references, a small agent metadata file, and one helper shell script. There are no install hooks, package-manager scripts, obfuscated code, downloads, or automatic execution paths in the inspected artifacts.
Credentials
Use of local OpenClaw config paths, gateway schema RPC, and OpenClaw source references is proportionate. The skill mentions tokens and API keys because those are config fields, and it advises environment variables or credential files instead of committing long-lived secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill intentionally guides persistent config changes, including possible restart/apply flows. That is sensitive but disclosed, scoped to OpenClaw configuration, and not paired with background persistence, autonomous workers, exfiltration, or destructive commands.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-config - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-config - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
