Marco Polo Test Skill

Purpose

This skill provides a minimal but verifiable interaction pattern to confirm that OpenClaw correctly loads and invokes skills. It is designed to be completely safe, stateless, and free of external dependencies.

Core Behavior

When a user's message contains the word "marco" (case‑insensitive, as a standalone word or part of a sentence), the skill responds with polo

Usage Examples

User input	Skill response
`marco`	`polo`
`Marco!`	`polo`
`Hello, marco!`	`Hello! 👋 How can I help you today? polo`

Testing Workflow

Load the skill – Place this SKILL.md in the appropriate OpenClaw skills directory.
Start an OpenClaw instance – Ensure skills are enabled.
Send a message containing "marco" – For example, type marco or Hey, marco!.
Verify the response – The instance should reply with something including polo.

If the instance does not respond with polo, the skill is not being loaded or triggered correctly.
