Skill Creator Assistant
A guided conversation-based tool that helps non-technical users create their own OpenClaw skills through a step-by-step questionnaire. No coding required.
How It Works
- User describes what they want the skill to do
- Assistant asks 5-8 targeted questions
- Assistant generates a complete, ready-to-use SKILL.md
- Optionally: generates README, uploads to GitHub/ClawHub
The Conversation Flow
Step 1: Core Identity
- Skill name (what to call it)
- One-line description
- When/why someone would trigger this skill
Step 2: Capabilities
- What exactly can this skill do? (checklist of 1-5 abilities)
- What input does it need from the user?
- What output does it produce?
Step 3: Use Cases
- 1-2 concrete examples of when to use this skill
- Who is the target user?
Step 4: Templates
Assistant recommends one of:
- Research型 — data analysis, report generation
- Creation型 — writing, design, content production
- Collection型 — monitoring, search, intelligence gathering
- Utility型 — file conversion, formatting, automation
- Custom — mixed or unique requirements
Step 5: Output Format
- File format (markdown, docx, pdf, etc.)
- Any required structure/headings
- Naming conventions
Step 6: Limitations
- What should it NOT do?
- Known constraints or dependencies
- Required packages/APIs

Quality Checklist
Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] Name is unique and descriptive
- [ ] Description is clear in 1-2 sentences
- [ ] All capabilities have concrete examples
- [ ] No circular logic or infinite loops
- [ ] Dependencies are available/installable
- [ ] File format is correct (.md)
- [ ] Ready for GitHub/ClawHub upload
GitHub Upload
After generating the SKILL.md, offer to:
- Create a GitHub repo
- Generate a README.md
- Upload both files
- Provide the repo URL
Limitations
- Cannot generate skills that require external paid APIs without user providing credentials
- Cannot test skills that need runtime environment (those must be tested manually)
- Complex multi-agent workflows require advanced technical understanding
