Skill创建工厂

Workflows

A callable skill factory for programmatic skill creation. Use when another skill needs to create a new skill, or when automating skill generation workflows. Accepts structured parameters (name, description, instructions, resources) and generates a complete, validated skill package. Triggers on programmatic calls from other skills or automation workflows that need to spawn new skills.

  ]
}

Workflow

  1. Validate parameters - Check skill_name format, required fields
  2. Create directory structure - skill_name/ with appropriate subdirectories
  3. Generate SKILL.md - Write frontmatter + instructions
  4. Create resources - Write scripts, references, assets if provided
  5. Validate - Run skill validation (optional, default: on)
  6. Package - Generate .skill file (optional, default: on)
  7. Return result - Report created files and location

Output

Returns a result object:

{
  "success": true,
  "skill_path": "~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/my-skill",
  "skill_file": "~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/my-skill.skill",
  "files_created": ["SKILL.md", "scripts/main.py"]
}

Quick Example

A calling skill might invoke this with:

Create a skill named "pdf-watermarker" that:
- Description: "Add watermarks to PDF files. Use when processing PDFs for branding or security."
- Instructions: Basic watermarking workflow with pdfplumber
- Scripts: A watermark.py script using PyPDF2

The skill factory handles all file creation, validation, and packaging.
