Skill system
OpenClaw · Official docs
Use this to understand the OpenClaw skill format: markdown instruction files in directories with SKILL.md frontmatter and tool-use guidance.
Start
Read the official skills docs before installing community skills, then test one low-risk local skill in a disposable workspace.
Skill marketplace
OpenClaw · Registry
Use this when you need a public registry for OpenClaw skills and plugins rather than hand-copying skill folders.
Start
Search from the CLI, inspect the skill source, and install only skills that match a real workflow.
Agent harness
OpenClaw · Open-source agent harness
Use this when you want an agent runtime you can shape with local skills, plugins, and workspace-level behavior.
Start
Start with the docs, install the minimum useful setup, then add one skill only after you understand its file access and commands.
