Skills & Integrations

OpenClaw skills are modular capabilities that extend what your bot can do. From YouTube video summaries to real-time web search, the ClawHub marketplace hosts 700+ community-built skills ready to install.

HOW SKILLS WORK

Skills are defined by SKILL.md files — markdown documents that describe triggers, instructions, and capabilities. When a user message matches a skill's triggers, OpenClaw activates it automatically.

1

Discover on ClawHub

Browse the ClawHub marketplace for skills that match your needs. Each skill shows downloads, description, and configuration requirements.

2

Install via Configuration

Skills are added to your bot's openclaw.json configuration file under the skills.entries section. ClawHost handles this automatically.

3

Automatic Activation

Once installed, OpenClaw detects matching triggers in user messages and activates the relevant skill — no manual invocation needed.
