Description
Operate and troubleshoot the OpenClaw CLI across setup, gateway/node lifecycle, channel login, messaging, agent turns, models, plugins, and system health. Us...
Usage Guidance
Safe to install as a reviewed instruction-only skill, but treat OpenClaw commands it helps run as real authority: confirm recipients before message delivery, use isolated profiles when testing, protect tokens and session output, and review any reset, uninstall, force, cron, service, or device-pairing command before approving it. Prefer the reviewed ClawHub artifact or pin the GitHub repository to a known commit if installing from source.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw CLI skill is designed to operate and troubleshoot the `openclaw` command-line interface. The `SKILL.md` and `references/command-map.md` files contain explicit safety rules, such as requiring user confirmation before executing destructive commands (`reset`, `uninstall`, `--force`) and prioritizing non-destructive diagnostics. While the `openclaw` CLI itself may possess powerful capabilities (e.g., `cron`, `sandbox`), the skill's instructions to the AI agent consistently emphasize safe usage and user consent, with no evidence of prompt injection for malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions. The installation instructions in `README.md` are for the user, not for the agent to execute.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill coherently teaches an agent to choose, run, and verify OpenClaw CLI commands for setup, health, channels, messaging, agents, plugins, models, security, and lifecycle management. Some covered commands can send messages, manage tokens/devices, inspect memory or sessions, or affect services, but those capabilities match the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are user-directed and safety-oriented: clarify target state, choose the right profile, inspect help before risky operations, prefer diagnostics first, use JSON when automating, verify outcomes, and require explicit confirmation before reset, uninstall, destructive force flows, or credential-clearing operations.
Install Mechanism
The README gives manual installation commands to clone the repository into ~/.codex/skills/openclaw-cli. There are no executable scripts or automatic install hooks in the artifact, but the GitHub clone is unpinned, so the live repository could differ from the reviewed version.
Credentials
Access to OpenClaw profiles, local OpenClaw state, channels, logs, memory, and sessions is proportionate for a CLI operations skill. Users should still choose --dev or --profile deliberately because the default profile may contain real account and service state.
Persistence & Privilege
The command map includes gateway/node services, cron jobs, device pairing, tokens, reset, uninstall, and sandbox commands, but these are documented as OpenClaw command families and the skill itself does not create hidden persistence or background workers.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
