Description
Design and build OpenClaw skills. Use when asked to "make/build/craft a skill", extract ad-hoc functionality into a skill, or package scripts/instructions for reuse. Covers OpenClaw-specific integration (tool calling, memory, message routing, cron, canvas, nodes) and ClawHub publishing.
Usage Guidance
This skill is an authoring guide and is internally consistent. Because it instructs agents to read other skills and workspace files, review any workspace content and other skills for sensitive data before using it to auto-extract or package code. The skill itself asks for no credentials and performs no installs, but be cautious if you follow its guidance to add state files or to request environment variables later when authoring new skills — never hardcode secrets into SKILL.md or published skill files, and review any resulting SKILL.md or install steps before publishing or installing. If you do not want agents to autonomously create/publish skills, consider controlling invocation or review outputs manually.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: skillcraft Version: 1.0.0 The 'skillcraft' skill is designed to guide the AI agent in creating other OpenClaw skills. While its instructions are aligned with this stated purpose, it details how to leverage several high-risk capabilities. Specifically, SKILL.md instructs the agent on how to define `metadata.openclaw.install` for new skills, which includes options for downloading and executing remote binaries (e.g., `kind: download`, `url: https://...`). Additionally, the skill guides the agent to use powerful OpenClaw tools like `exec` (for running arbitrary commands) and `sessions_spawn` (for creating subagents) when building new skills. These capabilities, while presented as legitimate features for skill development, represent significant security risks if misused, leading to a 'suspicious' classification due to risky capabilities without clear malicious intent from the skill itself.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (skill designer for OpenClaw) matches the content: the SKILL.md and pattern files are templates and guidance for packaging skills, routing, cron, memory, and publishing. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or install steps are requested.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions tell the agent to inspect available skills, workspace files, and to place state under `{baseDir}`/`<workspace>`. This is expected for a skill-authoring guide, but it means the agent will read other skills and workspace files when following these instructions — review those reads if you have sensitive data in workspace files or other skill bodies.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is the lowest-risk install profile (nothing is downloaded or written by an installer).
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It does provide guidance for how skill authors should *store* secrets (env vars, keychain, 1Password CLI), which is advisory and not a request for secrets from the runner.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no config paths requested. The skill recommends locations for skill-local state files but does not request global agent configuration changes or persistent privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install skillcraft
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /skillcraft
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Opus 4.6 overhaul: 60% slimmer, OpenClaw naming, {baseDir} paths, new frontmatter keys, model-tier guidance, direct docs links
v0.9.1
- Clarified and streamlined the description for broader utility and focus. - Updated "Stage 1: Problem Understanding" to emphasize trigger scenarios (user phrases, mid-task needs, scheduled triggers) and outcomes. - Improved rationale and instructions for the synergy search and external dependency discovery during skill design. - Made various style and terminology tweaks for readability and practical workflow alignment.
v0.9.0
skillcraft 0.9.0 - Initial release of the skillcraft design guide for creating Clawdbot skills. - Provides a structured process for building new skills or extracting existing functionality into skills. - Documents Clawdbot-specific integration patterns: message routing, cron scheduling, memory, and channel usage. - Emphasizes relying on clawddocs for up-to-date documentation and best practices. - Includes staged design steps: starting from inventory (for extractions), through problem understanding, capability discovery, and synergy search.
