Skill Compatibility Checker

What it does

Skills can declare minimum OpenClaw version requirements and depend on specific runtime features (cron engine, session isolation, state storage, context compaction). When you upgrade or downgrade OpenClaw, or move a skill to a different environment, compatibility silently breaks.

Skill Compatibility Checker reads skill frontmatter for version constraints and feature requirements, then compares them against the currently running OpenClaw version. It reports incompatibilities before they cause confusing silent failures.

When to invoke

  • After upgrading OpenClaw
  • Before deploying a skill to a new environment
  • When a skill that previously worked stops working after an update
  • As a post-upgrade gate in automated deployment pipelines
