Reference Document

OpenClaw Skills Reference

This page documents the skills currently installed in the OpenClaw workspace, the alias used to invoke each skill, what each one is responsible for, and any trigger phrasing that appeared in the skill documentation.

It is designed as a lookup page rather than a tutorial, so you can scan quickly when deciding which skill to use or when checking whether a name is declared explicitly versus inferred from the folder or heading.

How to read this

  • Alias used reflects the declared name: value when the skill file included frontmatter.
  • Inferred means the skill file had no frontmatter, so the alias was taken from the folder or page heading.
  • Trigger notes capture either an explicit trigger phrase or the main situations described in the skill doc.
