Description
Full workflow for creating an OpenClaw Agent. Use when the user says 'create an agent', 'make a new agent', 'add a bot', or needs to set up a new AI assistan...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims (scaffold an OpenClaw agent) and contains a helper script that will modify ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, copy main agent config files, create workspace folders, and restart the OpenClaw gateway. Before installing or running it: (1) review the helper script (included) yourself or run it in a safe/test environment; (2) back up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (the script already does a backup, but keep your own copy if you're cautious); (3) inspect models.json and auth-profiles.json in your main agent — auth-profiles.json can contain secrets and will be copied into the new agent directory; (4) be prepared to manually restart the gateway if the automatic restart fails; and (5) only run this if you trust the skill source or prefer to execute the steps manually to maintain control.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sub-agent-creator
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle automates the creation of new OpenClaw agents, which involves high-risk operations such as modifying the primary 'openclaw.json' configuration and copying sensitive credential files ('auth-profiles.json', 'models.json') that likely contain API keys. The accompanying Python script 'scripts/agent_creator.py' is vulnerable to path traversal because it fails to validate the 'agent_id' input before using it to construct file system paths for directory creation and configuration entries. While these capabilities are plausibly needed for the stated purpose of agent scaffolding, the combination of credential handling, system-level configuration changes, and unvalidated input represents a significant security risk.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the behavior: creating workspace and agent directories, scaffolding SOUL.md/etc., copying main agent runtime configs, updating ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, and restarting the gateway. No unrelated services, env vars, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the helper script instruct the agent to read and modify local OpenClaw files (openclaw.json, copying models.json and auth-profiles.json) and to run 'openclaw gateway restart'. These actions are within the scope of creating an agent but are high-impact (overwrite config, enable bindings, restart service) and should be run only with user consent and after review.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads. This is instruction-only plus a contained helper script included in the bundle — low-risk from an install perspective.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, which is appropriate. However it copies auth-profiles.json from the main agent into the new agent directory; that file may contain sensitive credentials or tokens. Copying those credentials is coherent with agent setup but is a sensitive operation the user should verify.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent platform-wide privileges. It does write to openclaw.json (its own platform config) and creates persistent files in the user's ~/.openclaw directory — expected for this purpose. Autonomous invocation remains possible (platform default) but is not a new privilege introduced by this skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sub-agent-creator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sub-agent-creator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
- Updated description for clarity and conciseness, with no changes to workflow or features.
- No changes to functionality or files; only documentation text updates.
- All setup steps, directory structure, and usage instructions remain the same.
v1.0.0
**Major update: The skill now automates full OpenClaw agent setup, replacing previous packaging workflow.**
- Replaces previous identity file packaging with an automated, end-to-end agent creation and configuration flow.
- Guides user through gathering agent details (ID, name, purpose, bindings).
- Automates creation of workspace and runtime directories, and generates all required workspace files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, etc).
- Handles copying of necessary config files and updating openclaw.json with new agent entries and peer bindings.
- Provides clear, step-by-step install and verification instructions, including how to restart the gateway and customize the agent.
- Removes legacy bundler scripts and workspace template files; introduces a single agent_creator.py helper script and template documentation.
