Meta-skill for skill selection and routing. Use this skill FIRST when you are unsure which skill to use for a task. Provides a decision tree, keyword triggers, and guidance on combining multiple skills for complex workflows. Also use when onboarding to understand the full skill library.
Skill Master
Minimum Model
Any model. This is a lookup table — any model can use it.
⚠️ Skill Count Rule
Current: 19 active skills. Sweet spot: 15–25. Above 30 = routing breaks down. Start lean. Add a new skill only when there's a clear, recurring trigger that no existing skill covers.
How to Use This Skill
- Read the owner's request.
- Find a match in the Quick Lookup table below.
- If not found, use the Decision Tree.
- ⚠️ Log the selection FIRST — before doing any work (see Analytics below).
- Load that skill's SKILL.md and follow it.
Do not improvise. If no skill matches, say so and ask the owner.
❌ Skipping the log is not allowed. Every skill invocation must be recorded, even for simple tasks. This is how the agent and the owner track what's working.
📊 Analytics — MANDATORY: Log Every Skill Use
This step is NOT optional. Before starting any skill, append one line:
mkdir -p /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data
echo "{\"ts\":\"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)\",\"skill\":\"SKILL_NAME\",\"trigger\":\"TRIGGER\",\"context\":\"CONTEXT\"}" \
>> /opt/ocana/openclaw/workspace/data/skill-analytics.jsonl
Replace:
SKILL_NAME→ the skill selected (e.g.meetings)TRIGGER→ the phrase that matched (e.g.schedule meeting with Daniel)CONTEXT→dm,group:<name>, orcron
This is ~50 bytes/entry. Non-negotiable.
Why This Matters
- The owner can ask "skill stats" at any time to see what's being used
- Unused skills get pruned, improving routing quality
- Shared across the PA network so every agent learns from usage patterns
- Enables weekly reports on which skills are carrying the most weight
To View Analytics
Ask: "skill stats" / "skill usage" / "which skills am I using?" → triggers skill-analytics skill

Multi-Skill Workflows
Some tasks need multiple skills in sequence:
New PA Setup
pa-onboarding → calendar-setup → monday-for-agents → ai-pa (add to directory)
PA Network Health Check
supervisor → billing-monitor (flagged PAs) → self-monitor (infrastructure issues)
After a Mistake
self-learning (log it) → eval (update score) → SOUL.md (add rule if pattern)
Schedule a Meeting
ai-pa (find the other PA's contact) → meetings (coordinate + book)
Weekly Maintenance
whatsapp (weekly digest) → owner-briefing (include highlights) → maintenance (push to git)
After Important Group Chat
whatsapp (log decisions) → maintenance (push to GitHub)
Where to Run (Complexity Guide)
Run inline (main session)
- ai-pa, billing-monitor, owner-briefing, supervisor, self-learning, maintenance
Consider subagent for heavy operations
- calendar-setup, meetings (scheduling flow), monday-for-agents (bulk ops)
Spawn subagent (recommended)
- pa-onboarding (20+ steps), eval (full monthly analysis), batch operations, skill-scout
Model Guidance
| Skill | Minimum Model |
|---|---|
| ai-pa, billing-monitor, supervisor, maintenance, owner-briefing | Any |
| calendar-setup, pa-onboarding, whatsapp, memory-tiering | Small–Medium |
| meetings, monday-for-agents, skill-scout | Medium |
| eval (trend analysis), self-learning (writing rules) | Medium–Large |
Adding New Skills
When a new skill is added:
- Add a row to the Full Skill Library table.
- Add trigger phrases to Quick Lookup.
- Update the Decision Tree if it fits a new category.
- Add to any relevant Multi-Skill Workflows.
- Check skill count — stay under 32 active skills.
- Add the skill name to the
KNOWN_SKILLSlist inskill-analytics/SKILL.md.
Supervisor (Status Dashboard)
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| "מה הסטטוס" / "what's the status" | supervisor |
| "supervisor" | supervisor |
| "מה קורה" / "give me a summary" | supervisor |
The supervisor skill aggregates: active tasks, billing issues, group activity, pending follow-ups, and system health into one structured report.
Eval
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| "תעשי eval" / "run eval" | eval |
| "מה עובד ומה לא" | eval |
| "בדקי הכל" | eval |
The eval skill scores performance, audits tasks, checks PA network health, verifies integrations, and reviews memory quality — all in one report.
Cost Tips
- This skill itself: Very cheap — it's a lookup table, any model works.
- Routing decision: If unsure, lean toward a smaller, cheaper skill first.
- Don't over-spawn: Use subagents only when the task would actually block the main session.
