Comprehensive guide for installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting OpenClaw — a self-hosted, multi-channel AI agent gateway. Use when the user a...
Usage Guidance
This skill is a documentation bundle for OpenClaw and appears coherent with that purpose. Because it mentions many local credential files, token-file usage, and prompt internals, do the following before enabling it: 1) Manually scan SKILL.md (and the referenced files) for any lines that explicitly instruct an assistant to 'ignore', 'override', or 'replace' system prompts or previous instructions — these are prompt-injection indicators. 2) Never paste API keys, gateway tokens, or private credential file contents into chat; use secure secret stores or token-file references on your host instead. 3) Verify the skill origin if you plan to act on its operational commands — there is no homepage and source is unknown; prefer official docs or a trusted registry. 4) If you intend to follow its commands on a running Gateway, run them locally in a controlled environment (not by sending secrets to an agent). If you want, provide the specific sections you'd like checked in detail and I can search the text for explicit prompt-injection or exfiltration instructions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-guide-maintenance Version: 2026.3.24 The provided files constitute a comprehensive documentation suite and instruction set for OpenClaw, a self-hosted AI agent gateway. The SKILL.md file serves as a reference guide for an AI agent to assist users with installation, configuration, and maintenance tasks. While the skill grants the agent access to high-risk capabilities such as shell execution (exec.md), file system access (tools.md), and browser automation (browser.md), these tools are clearly aligned with the stated purpose of system administration. The documentation includes extensive security hardening guides (security.md), sandboxing configurations (sandboxing.md), and mandatory approval workflows (exec_approvals.md) to mitigate these risks. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized persistence was found; the curl-to-bash installation method in install.md is a standard deployment pattern for this ecosystem.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the contents: this is a large, offline documentation bundle for installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting OpenClaw. The skill declares no binaries, no env vars, no install steps — which is appropriate for a docs-only skill.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md and referenced files are extensive operational docs that show CLI commands (openclaw ...), config paths, and examples that reference token files and credential paths (e.g. ~/.openclaw/gateway.token, ~/.openclaw/credentials/...). The skill does not itself instruct the agent to read or exfiltrate files, but it does advise operators on how to use token files and where secrets live. The pre-scan detected a 'system-prompt-override' pattern; this appears likely to be a false-positive because the docs legitimately describe prompt assembly and 'system prompt' internals, but the presence of such phrases means you should inspect the content for any explicit prompt-injection directives (e.g., lines that tell an assistant to ignore earlier system instructions).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. This is the lowest-risk install profile: nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables or credentials, but the documentation references many sensitive config paths, token files, and environment variable examples (e.g., TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, gateway tokens, browser remote CDP tokens). Those references are expected for a maintenance guide, but they increase the chance that an operator or agent using the guide will be prompted to expose secrets — treat any token-file examples as informational only and do not paste secrets into chat.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install steps; the skill does not request persistent privileges or force-enable itself. It is user-invocable and allows model invocation (normal for skills).
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install openclaw-guide-maintenance
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /openclaw-guide-maintenance
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
