What it does
Manus is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Create and manage AI agent tasks via Manus API. Manus is an autonomous AI agent that can browse the web, use tools, and deliver complete work products.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/manus.sh`).
The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
Example prompts
- “/manus”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- A credential in MANUS_API_KEY
- A credential in API_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create the task with createShareableLink: true
- Poll for completion using the task_id
- Extract output files from the response and download them locally
- Deliver to user via direct file attachment (don't rely on manus.im share links)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
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:
api.manus.aimanus.imprivate-us-east-1.manuscdn.com
Also links to:
open.manus.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
API_KEYMANUS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Manus loads about 827 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 273 words (~827 tokens).
“Use the Manus API to create autonomous AI tasks. Manus can browse the web, use tools, and deliver complete results (reports, code, presentations, etc.).”
