OpenClaw Agent Skill 🦞
中文文档 | English
A comprehensive Agent Skill for installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting OpenClaw — a self-hosted, multi-channel AI agent gateway.
Target OpenClaw release: 2026.4.29 (openclaw@latest on npm at the time of this refresh).
What is This?
This is an Agent Skill designed for AI coding assistants (like Claude with Antigravity). Once installed, the AI assistant gains deep knowledge of OpenClaw and can help you with:
- Installation & Updates — Install, upgrade, or migrate OpenClaw
- Configuration — Edit
openclaw.json, set up models, manage secrets
- Channel Management — Set up WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage, and 15+ other channels
- Gateway Operations — Start, stop, restart, health check, remote access
- Multi-Agent Routing — Configure multiple agents with isolated workspaces and sessions
- ACP Agents — Spawn external AI runtimes (Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, 14+ harnesses)
- Browser Automation — Multi-profile browser control, Chrome MCP existing-session, snapshots/refs
- Plugin System — Capability model, context engine plugins, SDK, hook API
- Automation — Cron jobs, standing orders, background tasks, webhooks, hooks
- Security Hardening — Audit, lock down access, manage tokens, trusted proxy, incident response
- 2026.4.29 Operations — Backups, device pairing, MCP bridge, debug proxy, task state, commitments, directory lookup
- Troubleshooting — Diagnose and fix common errors from CLI and Gateway
