Description
Explain how to use OpenClaw in a local environment. Use when the user asks how to find OpenClaw config or workspace files, how to add or inspect skills, how...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for local OpenClaw support: it will inspect files under ~/.openclaw and can make small edits if you ask. Before using it, ensure you trust the agent and have backups of important configuration files (e.g., ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json). Note the SKILL.md suggests tools like ripgrep (rg) and PowerShell commands but does not declare them as required — if those tools aren't installed, the agent should use alternatives or ask you. If you want read-only guidance, explicitly request that the agent only inspect files and not modify them.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: use-openclaw
Version: 1.0.2
The skill bundle is a legitimate administrative utility designed to help users manage and troubleshoot their local OpenClaw installation. It provides instructions for the agent to inspect configuration files, logs, and workspace settings within the `~/.openclaw/` directory (e.g., `openclaw.json`, `AGENTS.md`). The logic is transparently aligned with its stated purpose of providing setup assistance and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (help with local OpenClaw files, skills, and troubleshooting) match the instructions which explicitly instruct the agent to inspect and operate on ~/.openclaw files. Requested capabilities (reading and optionally editing workspace/config files) are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent to read files under ~/.openclaw and to make minimal edits when the user requests fixes. This is necessary for local troubleshooting but does mean the agent will access potentially sensitive files in the user's home directory. The skill also suggests running commands like rg and PowerShell Get-Content without declaring they are required; if those binaries are missing the agent should fall back to alternatives.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. Nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself during install, which minimizes supply-chain risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or external endpoints. Its access is limited to local files under ~/.openclaw as described in the README.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (default) and disable-model-invocation:false (normal). The skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default); combined with instructions that allow editing files, this means the agent could modify local files if allowed by the user or the agent policy. That is expected for a troubleshooting/editing skill but worth being aware of.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install use-openclaw - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/use-openclaw - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
