What are OpenClaw Skills?
OpenClaw Skills are local automation modules that extend your AI gateway with real actions. They let you run tools, access files, and connect APIs safely on your machine. OpenClaw Skills are versioned, permissioned, and composable, so workflows stay fast and auditable. OpenClaw was previously known as Clawbot and Moltbot, so you may see those names in older tutorials.
Real-time Performance
OpenClaw Skills execute locally, so responses feel instant even when workflows touch files and APIs. Low latency makes OpenClaw Skills ideal for interactive agents and real-time automation.
Structured Interfaces
Each OpenClaw Skills package ships with a clear interface, inputs, and outputs. This structure makes OpenClaw Skills easy to compose, test, and audit across teams.
Hot Swappable
Versioned releases let OpenClaw Skills roll forward or back without breaking pipelines. Swap OpenClaw Skills in minutes while keeping approvals and permissions intact.

How OpenClaw Skills Work End-to-End
OpenClaw Skills are designed for real work, not just demos. This deep dive explains how OpenClaw Skills are discovered, approved, installed, composed, and observed across personal and team environments.
Discovery, permissions, and trust
OpenClaw Skills start in the directory, but they quickly become part of daily workflows. Each OpenClaw Skills entry ships with metadata, documentation, and a permission manifest that shows exactly what actions can run. That clarity reduces risk and makes OpenClaw Skills easier to approve. You can register, review code in a private repo, and enforce checks before any OpenClaw Skills execute.
Composition, versioning, and observability
OpenClaw Skills are composable. You can chain OpenClaw Skills as one tool gathers data, another transforms it, and a third publishes results. This approach keeps each skill small, testable, and reusable. Versioned releases allow rollback when a dependency changes, and tags make it clear which OpenClaw Skills are stable or experimental. Teams can set policies that only allow signed or reviewed skills in an automation stack that scales from personal workflows to enterprise pipelines.
OpenClaw Skills Setup Checklist
OpenClaw Skills setup starts with installing the CLI, setting a local skills directory, and adding your first package. OpenClaw Skills work best when you document inputs and outputs.
OpenClaw Skills for Teams
Teams can create a private registry to curate OpenClaw Skills for internal use. Pair that registry with code review and CI tests so every OpenClaw Skills release meets quality interface and logging conventions.
OpenClaw Skills Reliability
Reliable automation depends on predictable behavior. OpenClaw Skills prioritize deterministic inputs, safe defaults, and explicit permissions to reduce surprises. If an external API fails, OpenClaw Skills can retry, fall back, or exit gracefully with actionable logs so operators can remediate fast.
OpenClaw Skills Installation & Governance
OpenClaw Skills should be easy to install, easy to audit, and easy to roll back. Use this governance flow to keep OpenClaw Skills safe in production while moving fast in development.
- Install the CLI. Use the OpenClaw CLI install guide and verify your environment variables, then create a dedicated folder for OpenClaw Skills so dependencies stay isolated.
- Choose trusted sources. Pull OpenClaw Skills from the ClawHub Marketplace or a private registry, and record the source so you always know where each OpenClaw Skills package originated.
- Review permissions. OpenClaw Skills declare file, network, and command access. Approve only what a skill needs, and reject OpenClaw Skills that request unnecessary scope.
- Test and pin versions. Run OpenClaw Skills in a staging workspace, capture logs, and pin a version that passes your checks. This ensures OpenClaw Skills behave the same in production.
- Publish runbooks. Document how OpenClaw Skills are triggered, what inputs they expect, and how to roll back. Clear runbooks keep OpenClaw Skills safe for every operator.
If you are building your own OpenClaw Skills, start with the skills authoring guide and the permissions reference. Those docs show how OpenClaw Skills define interfaces, validate inputs, and emit structured outputs that are easy to integrate and audit.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about OpenClaw Skills.
Is OpenClaw the same as Clawbot or Moltbot?
Yes. OpenClaw is the current name; Clawbot and Moltbot were earlier names. Older posts may still reference Clawbot or Moltbot, but they point to the same OpenClaw Skills platform today.
Where are OpenClaw Skills stored?
Skills can load from bundled defaults, your local ~/.openclaw/skills folder, and a /skills directory in the current workspace. Workspace skills override local, and local overrides bundled.
How do I install a skill from ClawHub?
Use clawhub install <skill-name> to install from the registry. This pulls the skill into your local catalog.
clawhub install <skill-name>How do I update or remove a skill?
Use clawhub update <skill-name> to update, and clawhub remove <skill-name> to uninstall.
clawhub update <skill-name>clawhub remove <skill-name>Can I publish my own OpenClaw Skills?
Yes. Create a skill folder with SKILL.md and publish it with clawhub publish so others can install it from the registry.
clawhub publishHow does precedence work when multiple skills share a name?
The workspace /skills directory takes precedence over ~/.openclaw/skills, which takes precedence over bundled skills.
How do I trust or review a skill before running it?
Review the SKILL.md file and source code, then manage trust with clawhub trust. Treat third-party skills like executable code.
