Install Skills

Manage skills using the

npx skills

CLI. All commands use

npx --yes

(skip npx install prompt) and

-a openclaw -y

(target OpenClaw, skip confirmation).

Install scope: project vs global

Project (default): installs to workspace. Skills work but are not tracked for
```
check
```
/
```
update
```
.
Global (
```
--global
```
): installs to
```
~/.agents/skills/
```
and creates a lock file. Enables
```
check
```
/
```
update
```
.

Use

--global

for skills that should be kept up to date. Use project scope for experiments.

List skills in a repo

Always list before installing an unfamiliar repo:

bash

npx --yes skills add owner/repo --list -a openclaw -y

Install a skill

bash

# Project scope (no update tracking)
npx --yes skills add owner/repo --skill <skill-name> -a openclaw -y

# Global scope (enables check/update)
npx --yes skills add owner/repo --skill <skill-name> -a openclaw -y --global

Install one skill at a time unless explicitly asked to install multiple.

Source formats

bash

# GitHub shorthand (preferred)
npx --yes skills add owner/repo --skill <name> -a openclaw -y

# Full GitHub URL
npx --yes skills add https://github.com/owner/repo --skill <name> -a openclaw -y

# Direct path to a specific skill in a repo
npx --yes skills add https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/skills/my-skill -a openclaw -y

# Local path
npx --yes skills add ./my-local-skills --skill <name> -a openclaw -y

Install all skills from a repo

bash

npx --yes skills add owner/repo --skill '*' -a openclaw -y

Verify installed skills

bash

npx --yes skills list -a openclaw
npx --yes skills list -a openclaw --global

Find skills

Search the skills directory by keyword:

bash

npx --yes skills find <query>

Remove a skill

bash

npx --yes skills remove <skill-name> -a openclaw -y
npx --yes skills remove <skill-name> -a openclaw -y --global

Check for updates and update

Requires skills to have been installed with

--global

:

bash

npx --yes skills check
npx --yes skills update

Defaults

Prefer GitHub shorthand
```
owner/repo
```
over full URLs.
```
--list
```
before installing an unfamiliar repo.
One skill at a time unless asked otherwise.
Always
```
-a openclaw -y
```
for deterministic, non-interactive installs.
Use
```
--global
```
when the user wants skills kept up to date.
