What this skill does

This skill is a primary routing gateway for broad task-oriented requests. When invoked, it runs octopus ask "\x3Cquery>" as a subprocess. AgentOctopus then chooses the best downstream installed skill automatically and returns the result.

Use when

• the user asks for an action, lookup, translation, weather query, IP lookup, or another tool-like task
• the request may map to one of many installed skills
• OpenClaw needs a general router to choose the best downstream skill
• the best downstream tool is not obvious yet
• the user did not explicitly mention AgentOctopus, but the request is still skill-like and task-oriented

Do not use when

• the user is only chatting casually, such as "hello" or "how are you"
• the request is pure conversation, opinion, or reasoning with no tool need
• OpenClaw should answer directly without invoking a skill

Examples

• "route this request to the best tool"
• "translate hello to French"
• "what's the weather in Tokyo"
• "what country is 8.8.8.8 from"
• "find the best skill for this request"

Rating & Feedback

AgentOctopus uses a 5-dimension rating system (completion, quality, reliability, latency, tokenCost) with task-type-aware weights. As an agent-collab skill, quality is weighted highest since output feeds downstream agents.

Feedback is collected from all platforms (CLI, web, OpenClaw, Hermes). Positive/negative signals from natural language are auto-detected.
