Skill Conflict Detector
What it does
Two types of conflict cause skills to misbehave silently:
1. Name shadowing — Two installed skills have the same name: field. OpenClaw loads the last one lexicographically; the other silently disappears. No warning.
2. Description overlap — Two skills' descriptions are so semantically similar that OpenClaw can't reliably distinguish them. The wrong skill fires. You think one skill is broken; actually the other is intercepting it.
Skill Conflict Detector scans all installed skills for both types and reports them with overlap scores and resolution suggestions.
When to invoke
- After installing a new skill from ClawHub
- When a skill fires inconsistently or triggers on unexpected prompts
- Before publishing a new skill (ensure it doesn't shadow an existing one)
- As part of
install.shpost-install validation
