Skill Runner#

Purpose#

This skill acts as an intermediary to run other OpenClaw skills via cron jobs or indirect calls. It provides a secure way to execute a specific skill function within the OpenClaw runtime, ensuring the skill receives the necessary context object (including access to tools and sessions).

How it works#

1. Receives an agentTurn message (e.g., from a cron job).
2. The message content specifies which target skill to run (e.g., run memory-enhancer).
3. Dynamically imports and executes the skill function from the target skill's index.js file.
4. Passes its own context object to the target skill, allowing the target skill to use OpenClaw's tools (like sessions_spawn).

Configuration#

• Runs as a dedicated isolated agent.
• Uses the default model configured for agents.
• Expected message format: run <skill-name>

Invocation#

Primarily invoked via OpenClaw's cron jobs ( cron add with payload.kind="agentTurn" targeting this skill).
