Skill Starter
Generate a reviewable starting point for a new OpenClaw skill.
When to use
- You want a repeatable folder layout instead of assembling a skill by hand.
- You need a starter
SKILL.md, smoke test, fixtures, and optional CI workflow. - You want a stricter template with Safe Install policy scaffolding.

Boundaries
- The scaffold is intentionally lightweight. You still need to replace placeholders and add real business logic.
- Generated
SKILL.md files are now aligned to OpenClaw-style frontmatter and use {baseDir} for local command examples.
