OpenClaw skill
create-agent-skills
An OpenClaw skill that creates new agent skills based on a provided natural language description. It generates the required SKILL.md file and main Python implementation for the new skill. The skill supports specifying the skill name, description, capabilities, and tools needed.
Security notice: review the SKILL.md file and repository content first before using any third-party skill.

How this skill works
- Validates inputs
- Generates unique skill ID
- Creates directory skills/{author}/{skill_name}
- Copies template files from templates/skill/* to the new directory
- Replaces placeholders in copied files with skill name and author
- Stages and commits the new skill to git if repository is a git repo
When to use it
- When a user describes a new skill idea and needs the full SKILL.md and Python code generated
- When setting up a new OpenClaw skill repository structure with required files from a prompt
Best practices
- Describe the desired skill in detail, including what it does, expected inputs, produced outputs, required configuration, and tools or integrations
- Define required configuration variables: OPENCLAW_SKILL_NAMESPACE, OPENCLAW_SKILL_NAME, and OPENCLAW_API_KEY
- Ensure write permissions to the skills directory before execution
- Review and test generated SKILL.md and code after creation
- Make manual adjustments to generated skills as needed
- Ensure created skills comply with OpenClaw terms of service
Example use cases
- Generating new OpenClaw skill directories: Creates a complete skill package including SKILL.md, schema.yaml, and tool code from a natural language prompt describing the desired skill functionality.
- Bootstrapping custom agent capabilities: Uses a prompt to scaffold skills for specific tasks, enabling quick extension of OpenClaw agents with new tools or functions.

- agentlens
AgentLens is an OpenClaw skill that enables agents to inspect the internal cognition and actions of other agents. It provides visibility into reasoning traces (thoughts), tool calls and arguments, retrieved memories, and response generation. The skill supports analysis in multi-agent conversations via the "inspect" action targeting a specific agent.
