What it does

Architecture is an agent skill from serithemage/serverless-openclaw. References Serverless OpenClaw architecture. Covers network design, CDK stack structure, DynamoDB data model, API protocols, and container design.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Backend & APIs, covering Serverless and NoSQL databases. It works with Amazon DynamoDB. The repository describes itself as: Run OpenClaw AI agent on-demand on AWS serverless infrastructure with Web UI and Telegram interfaces. Cost target ~$1/month.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Serverless
  • Tasks that involve NoSQL databases

Example prompts

  • “Use the architecture skill to reference Serverless OpenClaw architecture. An agent skill from serithemage/serverless-openclaw”
  • “/architecture”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cost minimization: No NAT Gateway, no ALB, no Interface Endpoints
  2. Serverless-first: Lambda (events), Fargate Spot (long-running), DynamoDB (PAY_PER_REQUEST)
  3. Single responsibility: 7 separate Lambdas, 9 separate CDK stacks
  4. Layer separation: API Gateway → Lambda → Bridge → OpenClaw Gateway
  5. Protocol translation: Lambda(HTTP) ↔ Bridge ↔ OpenClaw Gateway(JSON-RPC 2.0 WebSocket)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 504300d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep

    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

Architecture loads about 639 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~639

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.
