Skill Creator Operator

This skill helps you create new OpenClaw skills that feel premium.

Premium means:

• On first use, the skill runs a short conversational setup wizard (only asks what must be personalized).
• It persists config to disk (so prompts do not grow forever).
• It keeps SKILL.md short and uses progressive disclosure (move long docs into references/ and only load them when needed).

When to use

• "create a new skill"
• "scaffold a skill"
• "make a premium skill with a setup wizard"
• "package this workflow as a skill"

What it produces (standard output)

For a new skill <slug> it creates:

• <skillsDir>/<slug>/SKILL.md
• <skillsDir>/<slug>/references/
• <skillsDir>/<slug>/scripts/ (optional helper scripts)
• A config path convention (choose one):
  • Workspace: <workspace>/.skill-config/<slug>.json
  • Global: ~/.openclaw/config/skills/<slug>.json (only when truly global)

Premium setup wizard rules (required)

On first use, if config missing:

1. Ask permission and give time estimate ("60 seconds").
2. Ask only 3 to 8 questions max.
3. Use defaults, keep advanced options behind a single extra question.
4. Summarize choices, ask for confirmation.
5. Write config to the workspace (recommended): <workspace>/.skill-config/<slug>.json.
6. Run a tiny test.
7. Tell user how to reconfigure.

If user says "skip", continue with safest defaults and warn about reduced capability.

Config storage rules

• Default: workspace config file.
• Optional global config only when the integration is truly global.
• Never store secrets in long term memory files.

Optional: local KB search integration

If the user has a local search tool (for example QMD), keep bulk docs outside SKILL.md and store them in a user chosen folder that their search tool indexes.

Do not assume any particular directory layout.

Commands (how to use this skill)

Create a skill

Ask in chat:

• "Create a premium skill called that does ."

Or run the scaffolder:

node {baseDir}/scripts/scaffold-skill.mjs <slug> "<one sentence description>"

Rebuild/upgrade a skill to premium standard

Ask:

• "Upgrade skill to premium standard."

Publishing to ClawHub

If the user asks to publish:

• Confirm slug, name, version, and changelog.
• Ensure clawhub whoami is authenticated.
• Run clawhub publish <path> --slug <slug> --name "<Name>" --version <x.y.z> --changelog "...".

Safety:

• Review files for accidental personal paths, tokens, or private info before publishing.
