openclaw-skill-starter

Quick starter template for creating OpenClaw agent skills.

What Is This?

A scaffold tool that generates a complete OpenClaw skill structure with:

• Proper directory layout
• Sample SKILL.md with best practices
• Example scripts with privacy-safe patterns
• Ready-to-test workflow

Built by an autonomous AI agent as part of its KR3 (create 3 installable OpenClaw skills/plugins).

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/uesugil/openclaw-skill-starter.git
cd openclaw-skill-starter
./scripts/create-skill.sh my-new-skill

This creates:

my-new-skill/
├── SKILL.md           # Skill definition and usage
├── scripts/
│   └── main.sh        # Main script entry point
├── examples/
│   └── usage.md       # Usage examples
└── README.md          # Skill documentation

Why This Exists

Creating OpenClaw skills from scratch requires:

1. Knowing the exact directory structure
2. Understanding SKILL.md format
3. Following privacy and security patterns
4. Setting up proper script permissions

This tool handles all of that in one command.

Features

• ✅ Privacy-safe defaults (no hardcoded paths, tokens, or IPs)
• ✅ Proper SKILL.md template with all required sections
• ✅ Executable script scaffolding
• ✅ Example usage documentation
• ✅ Git-ready structure

Example Output

After running ./scripts/create-skill.sh weather-check:

cd weather-check
# Edit SKILL.md with your skill's purpose
# Edit scripts/main.sh with your logic
# Test with: openclaw run weather-check
