What it does

Release Openclaw Announcement is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Draft or post OpenClaw beta, stable, or extended-stable Discord release announcements from changelog, tag, registry, and validation evidence. Use when announcing a release, release candidate, or asking what users should test after an OpenClaw release.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Discord. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Announcing a release
  • Release candidate
  • Asking what users should test after an OpenClaw release

Example prompts

  • “/release-openclaw-announcement”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. GitHub release body and immutable tag; for extended-stable, also confirm the
  2. The released base version's CHANGELOG/.md and contribution
  3. Commits since the previous shipped version or the operator-specified base.
  4. Registry/package metadata for the exact version and current dist-tag.
  5. Validation status that is relevant to user confidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8e594e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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:

    • 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

Release Openclaw Announcement loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

OpenClaw Release Announcement

Use with release-openclaw-maintainer after a release is live. Use with $discord-user-post when actually posting to Discord as the logged-in user.

Evidence First

Before drafting focus areas, read real release evidence:

  1. GitHub release body and immutable tag; for extended-stable, also confirm the npm/container-only scope and non-Latest classification.
  2. The released base version's CHANGELOG/<version>.md and contribution record, resolved with node scripts/release-changelog.mjs read --version <version> [--ref <sha-or-tag>] (add --record for accounting). The shared resolver reads historical monolithic tags; current CHANGELOG.md is an index. After approved docs publication, read the complete docs mirror and frozen record rather than treating the compact GitHub body as full notes.
  3. Commits since the previous shipped version or the operator-specified base.
  4. Registry/package metadata for the exact version and current dist-tag.
  5. Validation status that is relevant to user confidence.

Do not claim a full changelog audit unless you did it. If you only read the generated release notes or selected changelog section, say that and either audit properly or draft with that limitation.

For beta focus areas, prioritize user-observable changes over internal test or CI mechanics:

  • install/update paths
  • OS/platform-specific behavior
  • Gateway startup/restart, config, and runtime behavior
  • provider/model/runtime routing
  • plugin loading and local plugin development
  • channels and media paths
  • security/data-loss/user-impact fixes

Do not let late release-branch fixes automatically dominate the announcement. If the version includes a large delta from the previous shipped version, rank focus areas by the whole release delta and expected user impact; mention late fixes in their natural category.

Required Copy

Every beta announcement must make beta status explicit and include:

  • exact version, e.g. OpenClaw 2026.5.25-beta.1
  • one-sentence risk framing: beta, useful for testing, not stable promotion
  • focused test areas derived from evidence, not guesswork
  • update command promoted near the top:
    sh
    openclaw update --channel beta --yes
    openclaw --version
  • fresh install path: Install from https://openclaw.ai
  • GitHub release link
  • concise validation note, without making CI the headline

Do not suggest npm install commands in beta announcements unless the operator explicitly asks for npm-specific copy or troubleshooting text. It is fine to use registry metadata as evidence; do not turn that into public install guidance.

For stable announcements, use the stable channel wording:

sh
openclaw update --channel stable --yes
openclaw --version

Fresh installs still point to https://openclaw.ai.

For extended-stable, name the exact version and trailing month. Mention only observable backports, and use:

sh
openclaw update --channel extended-stable
openclaw --version

Do not add --yes: users moving from newer regular stable must see the downgrade warning because older versions may not understand newer configuration. Link the GitHub Release, but do not inherit regular stable macOS, Windows, ClawHub, latest, or website claims.

Style

  • Discord Markdown, no tables.
  • Keep it skimmable: short intro, bullets, commands, links.
  • Lead with what users can feel or test, not proof plumbing.
  • Mention validation only after install/update instructions.
  • Be specific about where feedback is useful.
  • Do not mention private local proof paths in public announcements.
  • Do not overstate unverified platforms, channels, or provider behavior.

Posting

When asked to post, use $discord-user-post to operate the logged-in Discord desktop app as the user. Resolve and visibly verify the exact server/channel, inspect the final body, and request action-time confirmation before entering or sending it. Never use OpenClaw channel sends, bots, webhooks, relays, or tokens.
