Openclaw Doc Helper

Answer OpenClaw-related questions by querying and analyzing the official documentation at docs.openclaw.ai. TRIGGER CONDITIONS - Use this skill when: 1. User...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only helper that fetches and summarizes docs.openclaw.ai and its requested behaviors and requirements are consistent with that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description say it will answer OpenClaw questions by querying the official docs and the SKILL.md only asks to use web_fetch/web_search against docs.openclaw.ai and related URLs — these requirements match the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to searching and fetching documentation and producing answers; the skill explicitly states it will not execute local commands and does not instruct reading local files, unrelated env vars, or exfiltrating data.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files (instruction-only), so nothing will be written to disk or downloaded during install; this is the lowest-risk pattern.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The declared needs (web access to docs.openclaw.ai) are proportional to answering documentation questions.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable with normal autonomous invocation allowed; it does not request permanent presence or attempt to modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only instructs the agent to fetch official OpenClaw docs and summarize them. Before installing, confirm you are comfortable with the agent making outbound web requests (the skill uses web_fetch/web_search) and that your deployment allows fetching docs.openclaw.ai. Note the skill's source and homepage are not provided — if you require provenance, ask the publisher for a homepage or repo link. Finally, remember the skill will not run local commands for you; any configuration changes must be executed by you on your systems.

OpenClaw Documentation Helper

This skill helps answer OpenClaw-related questions by automatically querying the official documentation at docs.openclaw.ai.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about:

• OpenClaw configuration and setup
• Available commands and options
• Troubleshooting issues
• Architecture and design
• Best practices
• Any OpenClaw-specific functionality

Workflow

1. Identify the query topic - Understand what specific OpenClaw topic the user is asking about

2. Search/fetch relevant documentation - Use web_fetch to retrieve documentation from docs.openclaw.ai:

   • For general questions: Start with https://docs.openclaw.ai
   • For specific topics: Try https://docs.openclaw.ai/<topic> (e.g., /faq, /troubleshooting, /config)
   • Use web_search with site:docs.openclaw.ai if unsure where to look

3. Analyze the documentation - Read and understand the fetched content

4. Formulate a comprehensive answer - Based on the official documentation, provide an accurate response

5. Cite sources - Mention that the information comes from docs.openclaw.ai

Configuration Validation (User-Guided)

When suggesting configuration changes, guide the user to validate and view their configuration:

Validate configuration:

# Validate entire configuration
openclaw config validate

View specific configuration sections:

# View all plugins configuration
openclaw config get plugins

# View gateway settings
openclaw config get gateway

# View models configuration
openclaw config get models

# View channels configuration
openclaw config get channels

# View agents configuration
openclaw config get agents

# View specific channel (e.g., Feishu)
openclaw config get channels.feishu

# View nested values
openclaw config get agents.defaults.model.primary
openclaw config get channels.whatsapp.enabled

Explain the validation output to the user:

• If valid: true → configuration is correct, can proceed
• If errors → explain what needs to be fixed based on the error messages
• If warnings → inform user but note it's not blocking

Key Documentation URLs

• Main docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
• FAQ: https://docs.openclaw.ai/faq
• Troubleshooting: https://docs.openclaw.ai/troubleshooting
• Configuration: https://docs.openclaw.ai/config
• GitHub: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw

Example Usage

User: "How do I configure a new channel?"

Action:

1. Fetch https://docs.openclaw.ai/config or search for "channel configuration"
2. Analyze the configuration documentation
3. Provide step-by-step instructions based on official docs
4. Remind user to run openclaw config validate after making changes

Notes

• Always prefer official documentation over general knowledge
• If documentation is unclear or missing, say so and suggest checking the GitHub repo
• Keep answers concise but complete
• Security Note: This skill does NOT execute any local commands. Users must run validation commands themselves.

Safety & Security

This skill is instruction-only with no code execution:

• ✅ Only uses web_fetch and web_search tools
• ✅ Does NOT execute local commands or access files
• ✅ Does NOT require API keys or credentials
• ✅ Users retain full control over their system
