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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens Click "Generate new token (classic)" Name: openclaw-github-skill Scopes: repo (required), read:user (optional) Copy the token
Option A: Environment Variables (Recommended) Set environment variables before starting OpenClaw: export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_your_token_here" export GITHUB_USERNAME="your_github_username" Option B: OpenClaw Config Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: { "github": { "token": "ghp_your_token_here", "username": "your_username" } }
openclaw gateway restart
โ ๏ธ Protect Your Token: Never commit your token to git or share it publicly Use the minimal required scopes (repo for private repos, public_repo for public-only) Rotate your token if you suspect it was compromised Consider using a secrets manager for production use โ ๏ธ Best Practices: Don't store tokens in shell profiles (~/.zshrc) on shared machines For local development, environment variables are acceptable For production, use your platform's secret/credential store
