What it does

Clawddocs is an agent skill from jdrhyne/agent-skills. OpenClaw documentation expert with decision tree navigation, search scripts, doc fetching, version tracking, and config snippets for all OpenClaw features

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts (for example `package.json`, `scripts/build-index.sh` and `scripts/cache.sh`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Linux, macOS and Gmail. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills for Clawdbot, Claude Code, Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/clawddocs”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the need using the decision tree above
  2. Search "if unsure: ./scripts/search.sh "
  3. Fetch the doc: ./scripts/fetch-doc.sh or use browser
  4. Reference snippets for config examples
  5. Cite the source URL when answering

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 439cd3a. 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 7 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.openclaw.ai

    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

Clawddocs loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

  • "How do I set up X?" → Check providers/ or start/

    • Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc. → providers/<name>
    • First time? → start/getting-started, start/setup
  • "Why isn't X working?" → Check troubleshooting

    • General issues → debugging, gateway/troubleshooting
    • Provider-specific → providers/troubleshooting
    • Browser tool → tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting
  • "How do I configure X?" → Check gateway/ or concepts/

    • Main config → gateway/configuration, gateway/configuration-examples
    • Specific features → relevant concepts/ page
  • "What is X?" → Check concepts/

    • Architecture, sessions, queues, models, etc.
  • "How do I automate X?" → Check automation/

    • Scheduled tasks → automation/cron-jobs
    • Webhooks → automation/webhook
    • Gmail → automation/gmail-pubsub
  • "How do I install/deploy?" → Check install/ or platforms/

    • Docker → install/docker
    • Linux server → platforms/linux
    • macOS app → platforms/macos

Available Scripts

All scripts are in ./scripts/:

Core

  • Agent defaults
  • Retry settings
  • Cron jobs
  • Skills configuration

Workflow

  1. Identify the need using the decision tree above
  2. Search "if unsure: ./scripts/search.sh <keyword>"
  3. Fetch the doc: ./scripts/fetch-doc.sh <path> or use browser
  4. Reference snippets for config examples
  5. Cite the source URL when answering

Tips

  • Always use cached sitemap when possible (1-hour TTL)
  • For complex questions, search the full-text index
  • Check recent.sh to see what's been updated
  • Offer specific config snippets from snippets/
  • Link to docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/<path>

Example Interactions

User: "How do I make my bot only respond when mentioned in Discord?"

You:

  2. Find the requireMention setting
  3. Provide the config snippet:
json
{
  "discord": {
    "guilds": {
      "*": {
        "requireMention": true
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Link: https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/discord

User: "What's new in the docs?"
