Skill Doctor

What it does

OpenClaw loads skills at startup. When a skill fails to load — corrupt frontmatter, bad cron expression, mismatched STATE_SCHEMA — it silently disappears from the registry. There is no error surfaced to the agent.

Skill Doctor runs a full diagnostic pass over all installed skills and reports every failure that would cause silent non-loading, so you can fix problems before they become invisible gaps.

When to invoke

  • After installing new skills or upgrading openclaw-superpowers
  • When a skill you expect to find is missing from the registry
  • As a post-install gate inside install.sh
  • Manually, any time something feels off with skill behaviour

Diagnostic checks

Skill Doctor runs 6 checks per skill:
