Install with your agent
Agent handoff
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install
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.
Upgrade existing
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.

Rotate OpenRouter Key
Safely replace the OpenRouter API key across an entire OpenClaw installation, handling all config locations, priority chains, and verification.
When to Use
User says "rotate my openrouter key" or "change openrouter key" User reports 401 errors from OpenRouter User disabled an old key and needs to set a new one Periodic key rotation for security
Key Priority Chain
OpenClaw reads the OpenRouter API key from three sources, highest priority first: ~/.openclaw/.env โ environment file, overrides everything ~/.openclaw/agents/<name>/agent/models.json โ per-agent config ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json โ global config If a higher-priority source has the old key, updating a lower-priority file has no effect. You must update the key at whichever level it is actually being read from.
Step 1: Get the New Key
Ask the user for the new key. It must start with sk-or-v1-. If the user doesn't have one yet, direct them to openrouter.ai/keys to generate one.
Step 2: Find All Key Locations
# Find every file containing an OpenRouter key grep -r "sk-or-v1" ~/.openclaw/ --include="*.json" --include=".env" -l 2>/dev/null # Also check for uncommented key in .env grep -v '^#' ~/.openclaw/.env 2>/dev/null | grep OPENROUTER_API_KEY Report what you found to the user before making changes.
Step 3: Update All Locations and Verify
Run the helper script โ it handles both .env and JSON files in one pass: python3 scripts/update-openrouter-key.py --key "sk-or-v1-NEW-KEY" --verify The script: Finds all config files (.env + JSON) containing an openrouter key Creates timestamped backups before each write Updates only the key value (minimal change) Verifies the new key against the OpenRouter API Reports what it changed Preview first with --dry-run: python3 scripts/update-openrouter-key.py --key "sk-or-v1-NEW-KEY" --dry-run
Step 4: Restart Gateway
openclaw gateway restart
Step 5: Remote Hosts (if applicable)
If the user manages OpenClaw on other machines, repeat Steps 2-5 via SSH: ssh <host> "grep -r 'sk-or-v1' ~/.openclaw/ --include='*.json' --include='.env' -l" Then run the update script remotely or copy it over.
Step 6: Disable Old Key
Only after verifying the new key works everywhere, tell the user they can now safely disable/delete the old key at openrouter.ai/keys.
Scope & Boundaries
Handles: Finding, updating, and verifying OpenRouter API keys in all OpenClaw config locations. Does NOT handle: Other provider keys (Anthropic, OpenAI). Key generation (user does that on openrouter.ai). Billing or usage issues.

Limitations
Cannot generate or revoke keys (user must do that on openrouter.ai) Cannot update keys on remote hosts without SSH access Does not handle keys stored outside ~/.openclaw/ (e.g., in systemd environment files)
Category context
Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
