Install Skills

Manage skills using the npx skills CLI. All commands use npx --yes (skip npx install prompt) and -a openclaw -y (target OpenClaw, skip confirmation).

Install scope: project vs global

• Project (default): installs to workspace. Skills work but are not tracked for check/update.
• Global (--global): installs to ~/.agents/skills/ and creates a lock file. Enables check/update.

Use --global for skills that should be kept up to date. Use project scope for experiments.

List skills in a repo

Always list before installing an unfamiliar repo:

npx --yes skills add owner/repo --list -a openclaw -y
