Skill Starter Pack

One-click install curated skill packs for new OpenClaw users. Use when user says "install starter pack", "setup skills", "一键安装", "新手套餐", "install essential/developer/full pack", "推荐技能", "装什么skill好", or wants to quickly set up recommended skills. Provides three tiers — Essential (daily use), Developer (coding & automation), Full (all recommended). Each pack is a superset of the previous one.

One command to install all the skills you need. Three curated packs from battle-tested daily use — no guesswork, no one-by-one searching.

Why This Exists

New OpenClaw users face 26,000+ skills on ClawHub. Most are noise. This pack collects the 14 skills that actually matter for daily use, curated from real-world experience.

How to Use

Quick install

Tell your agent which pack you want:

• "安装基础包" or "install essential pack"
• "安装开发者包" or "install developer pack"
• "安装全量包" or "install full pack"

Agent execution

Run the install script with the pack name:

bash

python <skill-dir>/scripts/install_pack.py <pack-name>

<pack-name>: essential | developer | full

Mix and match

Combine a pack with extra skills:

bash

python <skill-dir>/scripts/install_pack.py essential proactive-agent decide

This installs the Essential pack plus the two extra skills.

What happens during install

1. Script resolves clawhub CLI (global or via npx)
2. Installs each skill sequentially with 1s delay (respects rate limits)
3. Shows progress: [1/7] Installing agent-memory-architect... ✅
4. Already-installed skills are skipped automatically
5. Summary report at the end with success/failure counts

Post-Install

After installation:

1. ✅ Report which skills installed successfully
2. ❌ For failures, suggest clawhub install <skill-name> to retry
3. 💡 Remind user to restart the session (/restart or restart gateway) for new skills to activate
4. 📋 Some skills need extra setup — their own SKILL.md will guide the user
