What it does

Drclaw is an agent skill from OpenLAIR/dr-claw. Dr. Claw workspace skill for project lookup, session inspection, TaskMaster progress, OpenClaw structured schema, and event-driven reporting

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 31 other files (for example `DRCLAW.md`, `cli_anything/drclaw/README.md` and `cli_anything/drclaw/README.zh-CN.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Event-driven systems. The repository describes itself as: A Super AI Lab with massive AI Doctors as Assistants. Best IDE for Research via AI Power.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Event-driven systems

Example prompts

  • “/drclaw”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the user did not specify a project, run projects list and resolve the project first.
  2. For freeform project questions, use chat send or chat reply, and prefer the openclaw schema field over parsing raw reply text.
  3. For status/progress questions, prefer workflow status, digest project, digest portfolio, and taskmaster next-guidance.
  4. For proactive mobile updates, use openclaw report.
  5. For background attention monitoring, use openclaw-watch on instead of polling digest commands manually.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d51b64e. 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 script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Drclaw loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 365 words (~1,107 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user asks about Dr. Claw projects, wants to inspect Claude/Cursor/Codex/Gemini sessions, needs task progress pushed to OpenClaw/mobile, or wants structured OpenClaw-ready JSON outputs.”
