skill-starter

# 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. ## Command ```bash node {baseDir}/bin/create-openclaw-skill.js my-skill node {baseDir}/bin/create-openclaw-skill.js my-skill --no-prompts --out ./skills node {baseDir}/bin/create-openclaw-skill.js my-skill --template strict-security --ci node {baseDir}/bin/create-openclaw-skill.js my-skill --force ``` ## Templates | Template | Focus | | --- | --- | | `standard` | baseline docs, fixtures, and tests | | `strict-security` | adds policy scaffolding, security docs, and ClawShield CI | ## Generated files - `SKILL.md`: skill instructions with OpenClaw-compatible frontmatter - `package.json`: project manifest - `docs/`: architecture and security notes - `scripts/`: local script directory - `tests/`: smoke test stub - `.env.example`: environment variable template - `CHANGELOG.md`: release notes starter - `scripts/profile-target.js`: profiling helper - `fixtures/`: sample input data - `.github/workflows/security-scan.yml`: optional CI workflow ## Interactive prompts | Option | Prompt | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | skill name | CLI argument | | `description` | skill description | `{name} skill generated by Skill Starter` | | `category` | skill category | `AI Skills` | | `ci` | include CI workflow | `y/N` | ## strict-security extras - `.openclaw-tools/safe-install.policy.json`: Safe Install policy scaffold - `docs/security.md`: security integration guide - `.github/workflows/security-scan.yml`: ClawShield scan workflow ## 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.
