Description
Complete step-by-step installation guide for OpenClaw on Windows 10/11 with WSL2, includes common pitfalls and solutions from real installation experience.
Usage Guidance
This guide appears legitimate and self-contained: it gives commands for installing WSL2 and configuring Ubuntu, and does not ask for secrets or install external scripts itself. Before running any commands: (1) ensure you trust the source of instructions and any URLs you copy (e.g., GitHub repos or mirror instructions), (2) back up important data and create a system restore point before making system-level changes, (3) only run commands you understand (avoid piping unknown remote scripts into a shell), and (4) follow Microsoft’s official WSL documentation if you encounter unexpected steps.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: windows-wsl2-install
Version: 1.1.0
The skill bundle is a comprehensive installation guide for OpenClaw on Windows WSL2. It contains standard PowerShell and Bash commands for system configuration, such as enabling virtualization features via DISM, managing WSL distributions, and optimizing network settings for users in China (using Aliyun mirrors and GHProxy). While it includes a shell-piped installer (molt.bot/install.sh) and grants passwordless sudo within the WSL environment, these actions are consistent with the stated purpose of setting up a developer tool. No evidence of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or intentional malicious behavior was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill name/description (WSL2 install guide) matches the provided content: step-by-step Windows/WSL commands, troubleshooting, and mirror recommendations. It does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or system access beyond what a WSL installer legitimately needs.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains user-facing commands and administrative steps (wsl --install, apt update/upgrade, mirror configuration, BIOS virtualization checks). Instructions focus on installing/configuring WSL2 and Ubuntu; they do not direct the agent to read unrelated files or exfiltrate data. The guide requires running commands as an administrator (expected for this task).
Install Mechanism
No install spec or embedded code is present — this is an instruction-only skill. Nothing will be downloaded or written by the skill itself, lowering installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Commands reference GitHub and Chinese mirrors (mirrors.aliyun.com) which are appropriate for package downloads and network optimization.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent privileges. It advises the user to run system-level commands as Administrator (necessary for enabling Windows features), which is an expected requirement for installing WSL.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install windows-wsl2-install - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/windows-wsl2-install - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
