Description
Provides authoritative guidance on OpenClaw features, configs, CLI commands, troubleshooting, using both web search and local info with auto-cached environme...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a local how-to that runs openclaw commands, stores local caches, and optionally uses a configured web_search tool via mcporter. Before installing or using it: 1) Confirm you are comfortable with the skill writing files under memory/ (memory/openclaw-env-info.md and memory/openclaw-knowledge/). 2) Do not paste API keys or secrets when providing a web_search configuration; the skill will save whatever you provide. 3) Note a minor metadata mismatch: the SKILL.md expects the openclaw CLI (and may call mcporter if present) while the registry metadata listed no required binaries—verify your environment has openclaw and (optionally) mcporter if you want web-search features. 4) You can inspect or delete the memory files if you want to revoke persisted config. If you want stricter privacy, run the skill in a sandboxed workspace or deny its ability to write to memory/ before use.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (OpenClaw HowTo) aligns with the content: documentation, command cheatsheets, search strategies, and CLI test scripts. The SKILL.md expects to use the openclaw CLI, local reads/writes, and optional web_search tooling—these are reasonable for an on-system help/knowledge skill.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly read and write local cache/knowledge files (memory/openclaw-env-info.md, memory/openclaw-knowledge/...), run openclaw CLI commands, and may invoke an external web_search via mcporter if available. This is consistent with the stated dual-mode behavior, but the skill auto-saves configuration after first use (persistent cache) which has privacy/consent implications; the instructions should be reviewed if you do not want automatic local persistence.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only) and a single harmless test script. Nothing is downloaded or extracted from remote URLs. This is low-risk from an install-mechanism perspective.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables or credentials. It uses local CLI tools (openclaw, optionally mcporter) and the agent's read/exec capabilities, which are proportional to a troubleshooting/how-to skill. There are no hard-coded external secrets or endpoints in the files.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists a cache file (memory/openclaw-env-info.md) and writes knowledge artifacts under memory/. It is not set always:true and doesn't modify other skills. Still, persistent caching occurs after first use and the SKILL.md states it 'will remember user configuration after first use and no longer ask repeatedly'—confirm you consent to that behavior and review what is stored.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-howto - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-howto - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.1.0
Renamed from openclaw-expert to OpenClaw HowTo. Enhanced skill for accurate OpenClaw usage guidance with dual-mode search, auto memory cache, and graceful degradation.
