Performs a three-level audit of OpenClaw skills for format, content quality, functional correctness, and adherence to best practices.
Performs a three-level audit of OpenClaw skills for format, content quality, functional correctness, and adherence to best practices.
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.
Comprehensive skill review and validation for OpenClaw skills.
This skill provides a systematic three-level review process to ensure skills are: Valid - Proper structure and format Complete - All required components present Correct - Generated outputs match OpenClaw specifications High-quality - Follows best practices
Run automatic validation using package_skill.py: python3 /home/yupeng/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py <skill-path> Checks: YAML frontmatter format and required fields Skill naming conventions and directory structure Description completeness and quality File organization and resource references Outcome: โ Valid or โ Validation errors
Manually review SKILL.md for: Frontmatter: name is concise and follows naming conventions description is comprehensive and includes "when to use" information No extraneous fields in YAML Body Structure: Clear organization (workflow-based, task-based, or reference-based) Progressive disclosure pattern (metadata โ SKILL.md โ references) Concise and focused content Imperative/infinitive form for instructions Writing Quality: No filler or redundant explanations Concrete examples and realistic scenarios Clear guidance on when to read reference files Avoids duplication between SKILL.md and references
Critical Step - Verify that generated outputs match actual OpenClaw specifications. For skills that generate templates: Compare generated templates with actual OpenClaw specification files Example: If skill generates AGENTS.md templates, compare with /home/yupeng/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md Check for missing required sections (session startup, memory workflow, safety rules, group chat etiquette, heartbeat mechanism) Verify all critical requirements are present For skills with scripts: Test scripts to ensure they work correctly Verify output matches expected format Check error handling For skills with references: Verify reference files are accurate and up-to-date Check that references are properly linked from SKILL.md
Verify the skill follows OpenClaw skill best practices: Progressive Disclosure: SKILL.md body is concise (<500 lines preferred) Detailed information moved to references/ References are properly linked and described Resource Organization: Only necessary resource directories created No extraneous files (README.md, INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md, etc.) Scripts/ references/ assets/ used appropriately Context Efficiency: Information lives in either SKILL.md OR references, not both Essential procedural instructions in SKILL.md Detailed reference material in references/ Triggering Accuracy: description clearly states when the skill should be used All "when to use" information is in description, not body
Missing Functional Verification: Skill generates templates but they don't match actual specifications Example: AGENTS.md template missing session startup requirements Incomplete Descriptions: Description doesn't include "when to use" information Body contains "When to Use This Skill" sections (should be in description) Duplication: Same information in both SKILL.md and references Wastes context window tokens Extraneous Files: README.md, CHANGELOG.md, etc. in skill directory Should only contain SKILL.md and necessary resources Poor Progressive Disclosure: SKILL.md too verbose References not properly linked or described
For each skill, verify: Level 1: Format validation passes Level 2: SKILL.md structure and quality are good Level 3: Generated templates match OpenClaw specifications Level 4: Best practices are followed No extraneous files Description includes "when to use" information References are properly linked from SKILL.md Scripts work correctly (if present)
