OpenClaw Docs Intelligence
Local FTS5 index of all OpenClaw documentation. No external API calls. Sub-10ms queries.
What This Skill Does
This skill bundles three Python scripts and queries a local SQLite FTS5 index built from the OpenClaw docs installed on this machine (~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/docs or equivalent). It reads only the local docs directory and writes only to ~/.openclaw/skills-data/skilled-openclaw-advisor/. The query and build scripts make no network requests. The update script optionally sends a local notification via the openclaw message CLI when doc changes are detected (no direct network calls). The scripts do not access credentials or config secrets, and does not read openclaw.json at runtime (config keys listed below are optional overrides that the user may set — they are not required).
First-Time Setup
Build the index after installing the skill:
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/build_index.pyThis scans the local OpenClaw docs and creates a SQLite index at ~/.openclaw/skills-data/skilled-openclaw-advisor/index.db.
