Description
Use when diagnosing, configuring, fixing, tuning, or setting up anything in OpenClaw — gateway not responding, channel silent, model failover issues, auth er...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and appropriate for on-host OpenClaw troubleshooting, but keep these cautions in mind before installing:
- It is an instruction-only admin helper that expects to run local commands and read files under ~/.openclaw. Only install it if you trust the agent runtime to run CLI commands with access to those paths.
- The SKILL.md forbids opening secrets and sending config externally, but that is a behavioral rule — it is not automatically enforced by your system. Do not hand over secrets; approve any request to view or paste secret values manually.
- The metadata did not declare the openclaw CLI as a required binary even though the instructions call it; verify openclaw is present in your environment before relying on the skill.
- The skill's source in registry metadata is unknown; SKILL.md points to a GitHub repo. If provenance matters, review the upstream repo or the README yourself before trusting it.
If you want extra safety, run the skill in a restricted environment/user account with only the necessary filesystem access, or review the SKILL.md and any referenced docs yourself first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclawadmin
Version: 1.0.3
The skill bundle is a comprehensive administrative toolkit for managing OpenClaw installations, providing the agent with CLI references and configuration maps. It contains explicit safety instructions and guardrails (SKILL.md) designed to prevent the agent from reading secrets, exfiltrating data, or accidentally corrupting configuration files. The instructions are well-aligned with the stated purpose of system diagnosis and maintenance, emphasizing backups and validation without any evidence of malicious intent or harmful prompt injection.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description align with the instructions: troubleshooting and editing OpenClaw config, inspecting logs, and running the openclaw CLI. Minor mismatch: the SKILL.md assumes the openclaw CLI and local OpenClaw installation exist (refs to `<npm-prefix>/bin/openclaw`, local docs path), but the registry metadata did not declare a required binary. This is plausibly benign (it's an instruction-only skill) but worth noting so you ensure the runtime has the CLI available.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is explicit about rails: read-only diagnostics allowed, explicit user confirmation required for destructive actions, backup before edits, and an explicit prohibition on opening secrets files or transmitting secrets externally. It does permit fetching public docs (web fetch) for convenience; that is expected for an admin helper. The instructions do not instruct wide-ranging data collection or exfiltration.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are included (instruction-only). That minimizes disk-write / remote-install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It references local OpenClaw paths (e.g., ~/.openclaw/) which is appropriate for an admin tool. The SKILL.md explicitly forbids opening secrets files and sending them externally.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (default). The skill does not request persistent presence or modify other skills’ configuration. It asks for user confirmation before destructive or sensitive actions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclawadmin - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclawadmin - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.3
Gate reads of session/workspace file contents on explicit user approval (listing stays unrestricted). Session bodies never leave the conversation. Addresses ClawHub scan feedback on agent session PII exposure.
v1.0.2
Add Scope & Safety section (local-only; never open secrets.json/.env or transmit externally; explicit confirmation gates for destructive ops) and GitHub source link. Addresses ClawHub security scan feedback.
v1.0.1
Update doc discovery for recent npm builds: point to online docs (docs.openclaw.ai), GitHub source tree, or local clone — recent npm builds ship only a small reference/ subset. Add 'openclaw --version' as the first diagnostic step. Generalize <npm-prefix> paths.
v1.0.0
Initial release of openclaw-admin.
- Diagnose, configure, and repair OpenClaw installations.
- Direct filesystem access for inspecting and editing config, secrets, and logs.
- Step-by-step diagnostic workflow and safe configuration editing practices.
- Extensive documentation indexing and search guidance.
- Common troubleshooting tips for Discord, authentication, secrets management, the gateway, and agents.
- Emphasizes backup, validation, and safe editing to prevent config loss.
