What it does
Software Developer is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Operates as an autonomous software engineer, capable of writing code, running tests, and managing git repositories.
Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Git workflow
Example prompts
- “Use the software-developer skill to operate as an autonomous software engineer, capable of writing code, running tests, and managing git repositories”
- “/software-developer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2344435. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Software Developer loads about 292 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Identify the target files, languages, and expected outcomes.
