### New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions.

### Upgrade existing

```text
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.

## Documentation

### OpenClaw Menu Bar

⚠️ macOS ONLY - This skill requires macOS. Menu bar apps are not supported on Windows or Linux.

Adds a native macOS menu bar app for quick OpenClaw access - click the crab icon 🦀 in your menu bar to get an instant chat popup.

### Install & Launch

scripts/install.sh
scripts/start.sh

The crab icon will appear in your menu bar. Click it to open the chat window.

### Stop

scripts/stop.sh

### Check Status

scripts/status.sh

### What It Does

Menu bar icon: Crab 🦀 icon appears in macOS menu bar
Quick popup: Click icon → instant chat window (no browser needed)
Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Shift+O to toggle popup
Native feel: Proper macOS vibrancy, stays on top when needed
Lightweight: Electron app, ~480x680px popup window

### Icon Setup

The menubar app requires two icon files in assets/openclaw-menubar/icons/:

icon.png (22x22 pixels, transparent PNG)
icon@2x.png (44x44 pixels, transparent PNG)

### Option 1: Auto-generate icons

cd assets/openclaw-menubar
./create-icon.sh

This creates a simple crab emoji icon.

### Option 2: Custom icons

Replace the generated icons with your own 22x22 and 44x44 transparent PNGs.

Note: macOS menu bar uses monochrome template mode (auto-colorizes your icon).

### Window Size

Edit assets/openclaw-menubar/main.js:

browserWindow: {
  width: 480,  // Change width
  height: 680  // Change height
}

### Keyboard Shortcut

Edit assets/openclaw-menubar/main.js:

globalShortcut.register('CommandOrControl+Shift+O', () => {
  // Change 'O' to any key
});

### Architecture

Electron app using menubar package
Header: Custom HTML header (index-webchat.html) with branding
Content: OpenClaw webchat loaded via BrowserView with auth token
Auto-auth: Reads gateway config from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

### Requirements

macOS (menu bar apps are macOS-specific)
OpenClaw Gateway running on localhost
Node.js (for Electron)

### Icon not showing

Icon must be 22x22 PNG with transparent background
macOS menu bar uses monochrome template mode (auto-colorizes)

### "OpenClaw Not Running" error

Ensure OpenClaw Gateway is running: openclaw gateway status
Check config: cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

### Window doesn't open

Check logs in Console.app (search "OpenClaw")
Try: scripts/stop.sh && scripts/start.sh

### Files

assets/openclaw-menubar/ - Complete Electron app
scripts/install.sh - Install dependencies (npm install)
scripts/start.sh - Launch the menu bar app
scripts/stop.sh - Kill the app process
scripts/status.sh - Check if app is running
