OpenClaw Skill

The complete OpenClaw documentation as a skill for your coding agent.

Ask your agent anything about OpenClaw — gateway config, channel setup, CLI commands, deployment — and get answers with exact code and configs straight from the official docs. No hallucinated flags, no invented keys.

Created by Michel Costa, co-founder of Brabaflow — AI-Native Agency.

How it works

When you ask your coding agent about OpenClaw, the skill kicks in automatically. Instead of guessing or relying on training data, it looks up the official documentation (333 pages from docs.openclaw.ai, copied verbatim) and gives you the real answer.

The skill is organized into 20 domain files. A router (SKILL.md) maps your question to the right domain, reads the original docs, and returns exact code blocks, configuration snippets, and CLI commands — unchanged from the source.

No summaries. No paraphrasing. No creative interpretation of config keys.

Sponsorship

If this skill has saved you time and you're so inclined, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider supporting the project with a star or sharing it with the OpenClaw community.

Thanks! — Michel

Installation

Note: Installation differs by platform. Claude Code and Cursor have built-in plugin systems. Codex and OpenCode require manual setup.

Claude Code (via Plugin Marketplace)

In Claude Code, register the marketplace first:

/plugin marketplace add brabaflow/openclaw-skill-marketplace

Then install the plugin:

/plugin install openclaw-skill@openclaw-skill-marketplace

Claude Code (manual)

git clone https://github.com/brabaflow/openclaw-skill.git /tmp/openclaw-skill
mkdir -p your-project/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw-skill/skills/openclaw your-project/.claude/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/openclaw-skill

Cursor (via Plugin Marketplace)

In Cursor Agent chat:

/plugin-add openclaw-skill

Codex

Tell Codex:

Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brabaflow/openclaw-skill/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md

Detailed docs: docs/README.codex.md

OpenCode

Tell OpenCode:

Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brabaflow/openclaw-skill/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md

Detailed docs: docs/README.opencode.md

Verify Installation

Start a new session and ask something about OpenClaw (e.g., "How do I set up WhatsApp with OpenClaw?" or "Show me the Gateway config for Anthropic"). The agent should consult the skill docs and respond with exact configuration examples.
