What is tool-openclaw?

An offline documentation guide for OpenClaw, a gateway that connects an AI agent to channels, devices, models, and plugins. It covers setup, operation, access, authentication, and troubleshooting.

Use it when installing or configuring OpenClaw, debugging its gateway or channels, setting up remote access, changing model providers, or reviewing tool and sandbox policies.

It gives configuration and migration answers from a bundled documentation snapshot instead of relying on guesses about commands or settings.

tool-openclaw — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by Heyvhuang

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Heyvhuang/ship-faster

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00114	$0.01589
Opus 5	$0.00057	$0.00794
Sonnet 5	$0.00023	$0.00318
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00159

Security

Grade A, and why

tool-openclaw scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenClaw Expert

Goal: answer OpenClaw install/config/ops questions using the bundled docs snapshot under references/docs/.

Default assumption: the snapshot is the source of truth. Do not guess command flags or config keys.

Inputs / I-O Contract (Required)

Reads (primary):

references/docs/** (offline mirror of https://docs.openclaw.ai/*.md)
references/entrypoints.md (curated map)
references/model-migration-audit.md (short + full audit prompts and report shape for provider/model migrations)
references/troubleshooting.md (routing/playbook)

Writes:

None by default.
If refreshing the snapshot: references/docs/** + references/docs/__SNAPSHOT_INDEX.md + references/docs/llms.txt

Process (Required)

Triage the question into one area:

install / onboarding
gateway
channel (whatsapp/telegram/discord/mattermost/imessage)
nodes / web surfaces
remote access (ssh/tailscale)
auth / oauth
model migration / provider swap
sandboxing / tools policy

Search the snapshot before responding.

Prefer searching by the user's exact error string.
If no error string, search by the specific command/config key.
Open 1-2 relevant pages and extract the exact command/config fields.

Respond using the template below and cite the docs you consulted.
If the user is asking about a model/provider migration:

inspect the local environment before recommending changes
identify current model paths, auth mode, and meaningful agent/runtime lanes
separate public personas from backing runtimes and service accounts
assess migration as a lane problem, not just a model-id problem
use references/model-migration-audit.md for the short prompt, full prompt, and report shape
keep the operator-facing prompt short; let this skill carry the workflow

Safety Notes (Required)

Never ask for or echo secrets (tokens, API keys). If the user shares config/logs, ask them to redact.
Be explicit when a step is destructive (resetting sessions/state, deleting a profile). Require confirmation.
Do not recommend weakening security defaults (auth, sandboxing) unless the docs explicitly say so and you explain trade-offs.

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tool-openclaw is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heyvhuang/ship-faster (339 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 1,589 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
