What it does

Openclaw is an agent skill from daymade/claude-code-skills. Audits, diffs, copies, and lists providers/models, adds models, and switches the default model in local openclaw.json configs; diagnoses gateway/plugin failures (down, parked, broken, or out of date after an upgrade). Use for 虾/龙虾 config audits. Not for model-error repair (use openclaw-model-switch).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/deepseek_model.json`, `references/deepseek_patch_sop.md` and `references/lobster_registry.example.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Professional Claude Code skills marketplace featuring production-ready skills for enhanced development workflows. The licence is MIT.

~/workspace/.force/openclaw/openclaw.json

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c268d6. 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
Ships 8 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
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

Openclaw loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 531 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from daymade/claude-code-skills at commit 3c268d6, republished under its MIT licence (© daymade). 531 words, ~1,555 tokens.

name: openclaw
description: Audits, diffs, copies, and lists providers/models, adds models, and switches the default model in local openclaw.json configs; diagnoses gateway/plugin failures (down, parked, broken, or out of date after an upgrade). Use for 虾/龙虾 config audits. Not for model-error repair (use openclaw-model-switch).
argument-hint: [audit|diff|copy|add-model|list|switch] [options]

openclaw

A unified skill for managing OpenClaw (龙虾) instance configs.

Subcommands

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py [audit|diff|copy|add-model|list|switch] [options]

Each subcommand can also be run directly, e.g. python3 scripts/audit.py ....

diff is an alias for compare.

Shared behavior

Default config discovery: when --config / --to is omitted, the skill searches these locations in order:
1. ~/workspace/.force/openclaw/openclaw.json
2. ~/.kimi_openclaw/openclaw.json
3. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Lobster nicknames: --config, --from, and --to can be either a file path or a nickname registered in lobsters.json (see below). You can also use --from-lobster and --to-lobster for explicit nickname arguments.
Backups: every write operation copies the config to config-backups/<stem>-<utc-timestamp>.json before saving. The skill keeps the 20 most recent backups.
Dry run: write subcommands (copy, add-model, switch) support --dry-run to preview changes.
Restart: write subcommands support --restart to restart the OpenClaw gateway after saving.
Automatic audit: copy, add-model, and switch run an audit before and after the change by default. Use --no-audit to skip it.

Lobster nickname registry

Create a JSON file at one of these locations:

~/workspace/.force/openclaw/lobsters.json
~/.kimi_openclaw/lobsters.json
~/.openclaw/lobsters.json

Example:

json

{
  "甲虾": "/path/to/甲虾/openclaw.json",
  "乙虾": "/path/to/乙虾/openclaw.json"
}

Then use:

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py copy gateway-provider --from 甲虾 --to 乙虾 --alias
python3 scripts/cli.py switch gateway-provider/deepseek-v4-pro --config 乙虾 --restart

`audit` — validate a config

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py audit [--config PATH|NICKNAME] [--json]

Checks providers, models, default model, aliases, and plugin consistency.

Use when:

"帮我查一下这只虾的配置"
"audit 一下 openclaw.json"
Before applying a patch or copying a provider

`diff` — semantic diff of two configs

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py diff LEFT.json RIGHT.json [--json] [--include-cost]

Reports added/removed/changed providers, models, default model, aliases, and plugins. Skips cost fields by default; use --include-cost to diff them.

Use when:

"为什么甲虾能用 DeepSeek，乙虾不行？"
"这两份龙虾配置哪里不一样？"

`copy` — copy a provider between configs

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py copy \
  --from SOURCE|NICKNAME [--to TARGET|NICKNAME] \
  provider-name [--model ID]... [--alias] [--restart] [--dry-run] [--no-audit]

Copies an entire provider from one config to another. If the target already has that provider, it merges models and updates baseUrl / api without deleting target-only models. --alias also copies aliases pointing to that provider.

Use when:

"把甲虾的 gateway provider 复制到乙虾"
"把这个模型配置同步过去"

`add-model` — add a model to a provider

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py add-model provider model-id|model-json \
  [--config PATH|NICKNAME] [--from SOURCE|NICKNAME] [--alias NAME] \
  [--restart] [--dry-run] [--no-audit]

Adds a model definition and alias to a provider. If the provider is missing, it can be copied from --from first.

Ways to specify the model:

Pass a model id and --from SOURCE containing that model in the same provider.
Pass a path to a JSON file with the model definition.

Use when:

"给这只虾加上 DeepSeek"
"把甲虾的 DeepSeek 配置复制到乙虾"

The canonical DeepSeek model definition lives in references/deepseek_model.json.

Show full SKILL.md (190 more words)Show less

Critical pitfalls

Do not create a separate deepseek provider. The supported path is the gateway provider with model id deepseek-v4-pro.
Model id must not contain [1m]. Use the suffixless deepseek-v4-pro; the upstream gateway maps it to the 1M context variant.
Cold restart required. New providers are not reliably picked up by hot reload.

`list` — list providers, models, aliases, and default

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py list [--config PATH|NICKNAME] [--json] [--validate]

Human-readable output by default; --json for piping to jq. Add --validate to check that the default model and aliases resolve.

Use when:

"这只虾有哪些模型？"
"列出甲虾可用的模型"
"看看默认模型是什么"

`switch` — change the default model

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py switch provider/model-id \
  [--config PATH|NICKNAME] [--restart] [--dry-run] [--no-audit]

This is the only subcommand that changes agents.defaults.model. It verifies that the provider and model exist, backs up the config, and updates the default. If the target is already the default, it exits without making another backup.

Use when:

"把默认模型切成 DeepSeek"
"切回原来的模型"

Typical workflows

Enable DeepSeek on a lobster

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py audit --config 乙虾
python3 scripts/cli.py add-model gateway-provider deepseek-v4-pro \
  --config 乙虾 --from 甲虾 --alias "DeepSeek V4 Pro"
python3 scripts/cli.py switch gateway-provider/deepseek-v4-pro --config 乙虾 --restart

Clone a working config to a new lobster

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py copy gateway-provider --from 甲虾 --to 乙虾 --alias --restart
python3 scripts/cli.py audit --config 乙虾

Diff two lobsters

bash

python3 scripts/cli.py diff 甲虾 乙虾

Openclaw is an agent skill from daymade/claude-code-skills.json configs; diagnoses gateway/plugin failures (down, parked, broken, or out of date after an upgrade).

When should I use Openclaw?

Openclaw fits situations like: 虾/龙虾 config audits.

How do I install Openclaw in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill openclaw -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (openclaw in daymade/claude-code-skills) into .claude/skills/openclaw in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Openclaw in Codex?

Run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill openclaw -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (openclaw in daymade/claude-code-skills) into .agents/skills/openclaw in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Openclaw in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill openclaw -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/openclaw, .gemini/skills/openclaw, .github/skills/openclaw and .opencode/skills/openclaw in your project.

What does Openclaw need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Openclaw needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Openclaw access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Openclaw safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Openclaw use?

Openclaw is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Openclaw use?

About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Openclaw?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Openclaw: Add Provider (tddworks/ClaudeBar, 1.5k stars), LobeHub Model Provider Integration (lobehub/lobehub, 83k stars), Add OAuth Provider (superdesigndev/treg, 4.5k stars) and DeepChat Provider Integration (ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat, 6.4k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Openclaw?

daymade (a GitHub user) maintains it in daymade/claude-code-skills, which has 1,443 GitHub stars. The repository holds 102 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
