OpenClaw Skill Growth

Make OpenClaw Skills observable, diagnosable, and safely improvable over time. Use this when the user wants to maintain many SKILL.md files, inspect repeated failures, generate improvement proposals, preview patches, run guarded apply flows, or verify whether skill changes actually improved outcomes.

A ClawHub entry skill for the OpenClaw Skill Growth plugin.

It helps users discover and operate a GitHub project that turns static SKILL.md files into observable, diagnosable, safely improvable capabilities.

Important: this package is an entry skill and usage wrapper, not the full plugin source code.

Best for

Use this skill when a user wants to:

• maintain a growing library of OpenClaw skills
• see which skills are repeatedly failing or underperforming
• generate reviewable improvement proposals from real run history
• preview patches before changing skill files
• apply updates with backups, version bumping, and change history
• dry-run a skill update process before writing anything
• evaluate whether a skill change actually improved outcomes

Not for

Do not use this skill when the user only wants to:

• read or summarize a normal web page
• install an unrelated plugin
• optimize a workflow that has nothing to do with OpenClaw skills
• upload an entire TypeScript repository into ClawHub as if it were a single skill

Core idea

The underlying project provides a maintenance loop for OpenClaw Skills:

Observe → Diagnose → Propose → Apply → Evaluate

What the GitHub project includes

• skill registry from SKILL.md
• structured run observation
• diagnosis of recurring failures and weak outcomes
• improvement proposal generation
• patch preview generation
• guarded apply flows with backups
• version bumping and applied change history
• dry-run support
• evaluation record generation
• demo fixtures and CI

Install the real project

bash

git clone https://github.com/Shuai-DaiDai/openclaw-skill-growth.git
cd openclaw-skill-growth
npm install
npm run build
npm run test

Common commands

bash

npm run scan
npm run analyze
npm run propose
npm run report
npm run apply
npm run demo:dry-run

Recommended usage path

1. Point the plugin at a skill directory.
2. Feed it run logs.
3. Run report or analyze.
4. Review diagnoses and proposals.
5. Use demo:dry-run first.
6. Apply only after review.
7. Compare outcomes and keep iterating.

Why this is useful

Most skill systems stay static even while tools, environments, models, and task patterns keep changing.

This project is for users who want skill maintenance to become a real operational loop instead of a manual prompt-editing chore.

ClawHub note

This package is a wrapper skill around the GitHub project.

Use it to discover, install, and operate the plugin. It is intentionally lighter than the full repository. package for discovery and installation guidance
