In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a full or dry-run migration, choose whether secrets are included, overwrite conflicts when needed, or migrate from a custom OpenClaw directory.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-migration 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

OpenClaw -> Hermes Migration

Use this skill when a user wants to move their OpenClaw setup into Hermes Agent with minimal manual cleanup.

CLI Command

For a quick, non-interactive migration, use the built-in CLI command:

hermes claw migrate              # Full interactive migration
hermes claw migrate --dry-run    # Preview what would be migrated
hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without secrets
hermes claw migrate --overwrite  # Overwrite existing conflicts
hermes claw migrate --source /custom/path/.openclaw  # Custom source

The CLI command runs the same migration script described below. Use this skill (via the agent) when you want an interactive, guided migration with dry-run previews and per-item conflict resolution.

First-time setup: The hermes setup wizard automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers migration before configuration begins.

What this skill does

It uses scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py to:

  • import SOUL.md into the Hermes home directory as SOUL.md
  • transform OpenClaw MEMORY.md and USER.md into Hermes memory entries
  • merge OpenClaw command approval patterns into Hermes command_allowlist
  • migrate Hermes-compatible messaging settings such as TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, and map OpenClaw workspace settings to Hermes working-directory configuration
  • copy OpenClaw skills into ~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/
  • optionally copy the OpenClaw workspace instructions file into a chosen Hermes workspace
  • mirror compatible workspace assets such as workspace/tts/ into ~/.hermes/tts/
  • archive non-secret docs that do not have a direct Hermes destination
  • produce a structured report listing migrated items, conflicts, skipped items, and reasons

Path resolution

The helper script lives in this skill directory at:

  • scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py

When this skill is installed from the Skills Hub, the normal location is:

  • ~/.hermes/skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py

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.
