Skill Creator
Workflow
-
Establish the contract.
- Read the existing skill and its resources, or collect concrete requests for a new skill.
- Separate actual workflow branches from synonyms for the same branch.
- Done when: every branch has a concrete trigger, expected outcome, and persistence target.
-
Choose invocation.
- Model-discoverable: write a model-facing
description; omit disable-model-invocation.
- Manual-only: set
disable-model-invocation: true; write a human-facing summary.
- Direct tool command: add
command-dispatch: tool, command-tool, and command-arg-mode only when the command bypasses the model.
- Done when: frontmatter matches how the skill will actually be reached.
-
Structure the skill.
- Map shared ordered procedure to
SKILL.md; end every step with a checkable completion criterion and finish with verification.
- Keep routing conditions in
description; start the body with execution.
- Map branch-only detail to
references/, deterministic helpers to scripts/, output resources to assets/, and optional UI metadata to agents/.
- Done when: every planned resource has one purpose and a direct pointer from
SKILL.md.
-
Draft and persist.
- Live workspace skill: use
skill_workshop to create or revise a pending proposal; keep live files unchanged until apply.
- Repository-owned skill source: use the repository's normal edit and review workflow.
- Done when: the proposal or source diff implements every branch from step 1 and contains every resource from step 3.
-
Validate.
- Run
python {baseDir}/scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-directory> and execute every touched helper's focused test.
- Done when: frontmatter passes, resource pointers resolve, and every touched helper passes its focused test.
Frontmatter
Required: name, description.
OpenClaw also supports metadata, homepage, license, allowed-tools, user-invocable, disable-model-invocation, command-dispatch, command-tool, and command-arg-mode. Add optional fields only when they change runtime behavior or discovery.
