Install in OpenClaw
/install openclaw-proper-usage
Description
Operate OpenClaw reliably with right skill/tool selection, scoped execution, and verification-first completion.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a usage/playbook and is internally coherent. Before installing, confirm your runtime supports the named backends (Gemini, Claude CLI, azure-openai/gpt-4.1) and that appropriate credentials for those providers are managed separately — the skill will not request them. Be aware it explicitly instructs spawning and monitoring subagents (sessions_spawn); review platform permissions and quotas for spawning agents and calling external models to avoid unexpected costs or over-privileged behavior. If you want stronger safety, require the skill to declare which provider credentials it needs or restrict which models it may invoke.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-proper-usage
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains procedural instructions and best practices for an AI agent to operate reliably within the OpenClaw framework. It outlines strategies for task decomposition, tool selection (routing between Gemini and Claude), and subagent management via the sessions_spawn command. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injections were found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description are a usage/playbook for operating OpenClaw. The SKILL.md contains routing, subagent patterns, and completion/triage rules which match that purpose; nothing requested (no env vars, no installs) appears out of scope for an operational guidance document.
Instruction Scope
Instructions tell the agent to pick tools, split work into subagents, and include concrete commands like sessions_spawn and agents_list. This is consistent with a coordinator/playbook, but it gives the agent the authority to spawn and monitor subagents and to target specific LLM backends (e.g., gemini, Claude CLI, azure-openai/gpt-4.1). The skill does not instruct the agent to read files, secrets, or unrelated system state.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). No downloads or extracted archives — lowest-risk install footprint.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It references external models/services (Gemini, Claude CLI, azure-openai/gpt-4.1) but does not declare or request provider credentials; this is acceptable for an instruction-only skill but means runtime availability depends on the agent's environment and credentials provided elsewhere.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install actions. The skill can be invoked by the model (normal behavior) and instructs spawning subagents, but it does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills/configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-proper-usage - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-proper-usage - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
