What are OpenClaw skills?
OpenClaw skills are reusable workflow instructions that teach an agent how to complete a task with the tools it already has. A useful skill includes clear trigger wording, required inputs, safety boundaries, and a predictable output contract.
The main file to inspect is SKILL.md. Before installing a skill, read what it does, what tools it expects, what permissions it needs, and how to roll it back.
Why use a verified directory?
- • Large registries help discovery, but they rarely explain install risk clearly.
- • Top-skill articles give ideas, but they can become stale as repositories change.
- • A verified directory adds source context, permission review, setup checks, and fixes.
