Modular Skill Groups
PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: modular-skill-groups Version: 1.0.0 The modular-skill-groups bundle is a utility designed to manage and switch between different sets of skills to optimize the AI agent's context window. It uses simple bash scripts (activate-group.sh, list-groups.sh) to read from and write to local configuration files within the ~/.openclaw directory. The logic is transparent, lacks any signs of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious execution, and aligns perfectly with its stated purpose of skill organization.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Switching groups may change which skills the agent considers active until the file is changed again.
The helper script changes a local OpenClaw state file that controls the active skill group. This is the intended function and is scoped to one file, but it still mutates agent configuration.
GROUP_FILE="$HOME/.openclaw/active_skill_group" ... echo "$TARGET" > "$GROUP_FILE"
Use this only to activate groups you intend, and check or edit ~/.openclaw/active_skill_group if the agent appears to be using the wrong skill set.
A mistaken or unwanted edit could cause future sessions to load a different set of skills than expected.
The skill relies on stored group definitions and an active-group file that are reused across sessions. If those files are changed unexpectedly, future agent context could be affected.
Session start: read `ACTIVE_GROUP`, load skills from that group only (plus always-loaded CORE skills)
Keep the group file under your control, review custom group changes, and verify the active group before important work.
