OpenClaw Conversion Notes
This skill was auto-converted from a Claude/BenAI-style skill into an OpenClaw-oriented skill file.
Use this skill with care:
- Treat Claude-specific command syntax (for example
/skill ...) as intent hints, not literal required commands.
- Treat any
allowed-tools, MCP, plugin, browser, .claude, or AskUserQuestion references as portability notes, not guaranteed runtime features.
- Before using referenced tools, verify they actually exist in the current OpenClaw session.
- Resolve any original
.claude/... paths against the current OpenClaw workspace before use.
- If the skill references external APIs, credentials, connectors, or helper scripts, confirm local availability first.
Original Compatibility Warnings
- Original skill assumes external connectors, MCP servers, browser automation, or third-party integrations.
