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. 1. Identify the query topic - Understand what specific OpenClaw topic the user is asking about

1. 2. Search/fetch relevant documentation - Use web_fetch to retrieve documentation from docs.openclaw.ai:

1. 3. Analyze the documentation - Read and understand the fetched content

1. 4. Formulate a comprehensive answer - Based on the official documentation, provide an accurate response

1. 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:

CODEBLOCK0

View specific configuration sections:

CODEBLOCK1

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. 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.

Safety & Security

This skill is instruction-only with no code execution:

• - ✅ Only uses web_fetch and web_search tools
• ✅ Does NOT execute local commands or access files
• ✅ Does NOT require API keys or credentials
• ✅ Users retain full control over their system
