Comprehensive skill for installing, configuring, and managing the OpenClaw ecosystem (Gateway, Channels, Models, Automation, Nodes, and Deployment)

OpenClaw CLI wrapper — gateway, channels, models, agents, nodes, browser, memory, security, automation.

OpenClaw Skill

CLI wrapper + docs companion. Does NOT contain OpenClaw runtime source. Wraps openclaw CLI and provides local reference docs aligned to https://docs.openclaw.ai.

Prerequisites

• openclaw CLI in PATH (required)
• Node.js (install/update flows), Playwright deps (browser), Tailscale (remote nodes) — optional

Global Flags

--dev --profile <name> --no-color --json -V

Security Model

Default: least privilege. High-risk ops require explicit per-action approval.

Low-risk (default)

Status, list, health, doctor, logs, config read, docs search, memory search.

High-risk (require OPENCLAW_WRAPPER_ALLOW_RISKY=1)

Shell exec · nodes invoke/run/camera/screen/location · browser automation · cron mutate · plugin/hook install · device pairing · secrets apply · sandbox recreate · webhooks · dns setup.

Wrapper: bash scripts/openclaw.sh <command> [args] Granular gating: plugin gates only install/enable, secrets gates only apply, sandbox gates only recreate.
