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:

bash

# Validate entire configuration
openclaw config validate

View specific configuration sections:

bash

# 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.
