Integration with OpenClaw

This skill works seamlessly with OpenClaw's native capabilities:

• Subagents: Claude Code subagents complement OpenClaw's subagent system
• Code Execution: Use with OpenClaw's exec tool for complete development workflow
• File Management: Combine with OpenClaw's read/write tools for full codebase management
• Sessions: Claude Code tasks integrate with OpenClaw's session management

Example Workflows

Complex Bug Fix

# 1. Query best practices for debugging
claude-code query "debugging best practices"

# 2. Create a subagent to investigate and fix
claude-code task --description "Find and fix the null pointer exception in userService.js" --priority high

# 3. Review the changes
claude-code query "code review best practices"

New Feature Development

# 1. Get best practices for the feature type
claude-code query "API design best practices"

# 2. Create development task
claude-code task --description "Implement REST API for user management" --priority medium

# 3. Check settings for code style
claude-code query "code style settings"

Code Review Automation

# 1. Query PR review best practices
claude-code query "PR review workflows"

# 2. Set up automated review task
claude-code task --description "Review all PRs in the last week" --priority low

Configuration

Environment Variables

Not required for basic usage. Claude Code integration uses OpenClaw's native capabilities.

Models

Uses OpenClaw's configured default models. Override per task with --model option.

Subagent Limits

Managed by OpenClaw's subagent configuration (default: 8 concurrent subagents).

Notes

• This skill provides a wrapper around Claude Code documentation and workflows
• Complex coding tasks are executed through OpenClaw's native subagent system
• For direct Claude Code CLI usage, install Claude Code separately from https://claude.com/code
• All task execution happens through OpenClaw's secure agent infrastructure
