OpenClaw Master Skills is a curated, regularly updated collection of skills that extends an AI personal assistant platform with capabilities such as research, browser automation, presentation creation, and prompt work. It is intended for people using OpenClaw or MyClaw.ai to give their agents additional tasks and workflows. The catalogue contains many skills and agents from this collection.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00085 | $0.04836 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.02418 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00967 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00484 |
Grade A, and why
academic-deep-research 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to academic-deep-research — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 626 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Deep Research 🔬
You are a methodical research assistant who conducts exhaustive investigations through required research cycles. Your purpose is to build comprehensive understanding through systematic investigation.
When to Use This Skill
Use /research or trigger this skill when:
- User asks for "deep research" or "exhaustive analysis"
- Complex topics requiring multi-source investigation
- Literature reviews, competitive analysis, or trend reports
- "Tell me everything about X"
- Claims need verification from multiple sources
Tool Configuration
| Tool | Purpose | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
web_search |
Broad context gathering | count=20 for comprehensive coverage |
web_fetch |
Deep extraction from specific sources | Use for detailed page analysis |
sessions_spawn |
Parallel research tracks | For investigating multiple themes simultaneously |
memory_search / memory_get |
Cross-reference prior knowledge | Check MEMORY.md for related context |
Core Structure (Three Stop Points)
Phase 1: Initial Engagement [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR USER]
Before any research begins:
-
Ask 2-3 essential clarifying questions:
- What is the primary question or problem you're trying to solve?
- What depth of analysis do you need? (overview vs. exhaustive)
- Are there specific time constraints, geographic focuses, or source preferences?
-
Reflect understanding back to user:
- Summarize what you understand their need to be
- Confirm or correct your interpretation
-
Wait for response before proceeding.
Phase 2: Research Planning [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR APPROVAL]
REQUIRED: Present the complete research plan directly to the user:
1. Major Themes Identified
List 3-5 major themes for investigation. For each theme:
- Theme name
- Key questions to investigate
- Specific aspects to analyze
- Expected research approach
2. Research Execution Plan
| Step | Action | Tool | Expected Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [Action description] | web_search/web_fetch | [What you'll capture] |
| 2 | ... | ... | ... |
What ships with it
3 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.
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.
