Skill Starter Pack#

One command to install all the skills you need. Three curated packs from battle-tested daily use — no guesswork, no one-by-one searching.

Why This Exists#

New OpenClaw users face 26,000+ skills on ClawHub. Most are noise. This pack collects the 14 skills that actually matter for daily use, curated from real-world experience.

How to Use#

Quick install#

Tell your agent which pack you want:

• "安装基础包" or "install essential pack"
• "安装开发者包" or "install developer pack"
• "安装全量包" or "install full pack"

Agent execution#

Run the install script with the pack name:

bash

python <skill-dir>/scripts/install_pack.py <pack-name>

<pack-name>: essential | developer | full

Mix and match#

Combine a pack with extra skills:

bash

python <skill-dir>/scripts/install_pack.py essential proactive-agent decide

This installs the Essential pack plus the two extra skills.

What happens during install#

1. Script resolves clawhub CLI (global or via npx)
2. Installs each skill sequentially with 1s delay (respects rate limits)
3. Shows progress: [1/7] Installing agent-memory-architect... ✅
4. Already-installed skills are skipped automatically
5. Summary report at the end with success/failure counts

Post-Install#

After installation:

1. ✅ Report which skills installed successfully
2. ❌ For failures, suggest clawhub install <skill-name> to retry
3. 💡 Remind user to restart the session ( /restart or restart gateway) for new skills to activate
4. 📋 Some skills need extra setup — their own SKILL.md will guide the user
