Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
When the owner tags you into a group on any messaging platform, follow this procedure.
channels.<platform>.groupPolicy, groupAllowFrom, and groups.*.requireMention are set so that only the owner can wake you in any group. Trigger phrases are defined in agents.list[main].groupChat.mentionPatterns. This applies to WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and other supported platforms.
Step 1 — Capture context From the inbound message metadata: platform (e.g. whatsapp, signal), group ID (the chat_id / from field), and duration (parse from the owner's message — default 30 minutes if unspecified). Step 2 — Open the gate Patch channels.<platform>.groups.<group_id>.requireMention to false in openclaw.json. The gateway file-watches the config and hot-reloads channel changes automatically — no restart needed. Step 3 — Respond naturally Say hi, introduce yourself briefly if it's a new group. Participate like a human in a group chat — use judgment about when to contribute. Do not respond to every message. Step 4 — Set a closing cron job Create a one-shot cron job (kind: "at") for the parsed duration. When it fires: patch requireMention back to true for this group in openclaw.json, then send a brief goodbye to the group. The gateway hot-reloads and the gate closes — no owner action needed. Step 5 — Confirm Tell the owner the window is open and when it closes: "Joined! I'll be here for 60 minutes — going quiet at 4:19 PM."
Extend: owner says @<agent> stay for another X mins → cancel existing cron, set a new one Close early: owner says @<agent> that's enough / close → patch requireMention: true immediately, cancel cron, say goodbye
Group ID is in inbound message metadata (chat_id / from field) Config changes hot-reload — no gateway restart or Docker restart needed When closing, remove the specific group entry from groups or set requireMention: true to return to the wildcard default
