zeroclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/feature-matrix-parity/SKILL.md

feature-matrix-parity is a skill for Claude Code from zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw. It costs 127 tokens per session (2,408 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for updating ZeroClaw's feature comparison matrix. The matrix compares ZeroClaw with OpenClaw and Hermes, two other software projects, across supported features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh support data, verify competitor capabilities, and add comparison rows or sections to the feature matrix.
Why use it?
It keeps comparison claims tied to evidence in the competing projects' source code instead of guesses based on names or folders. This makes the documentation easier to review and update.

This is zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on zeroclaw itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything zeroclaw configures →

About the project

ZeroClaw is a Rust-based runtime for running a personal AI assistant on a user's own machine, with connections to language-model providers, communication channels, and external tools. It is for people who want to operate an assistant across channels such as Discord, Telegram, email, voice, webhooks, or a command line while keeping control of its data and credentials. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and agents for using ZeroClaw.

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

feature-matrix-parity scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ZeroClaw Feature Matrix Parity

You maintain the two competitor columns (OpenClaw, Hermes) of the feature and support matrix at docs/book/src/reference/feature-matrix.md. The ZeroClaw column is walked from the binary's own registries at docs-build time and is never hand-edited. Only the external columns live in docs/book/feature-matrix-parity.toml, and that file is the single reviewable source for every parity fact.

The cardinal rule: every cell you write is source-walked from the competitor's actual tree, never inferred from a folder name, an alias, or memory. A directory called signal is not proof of Signal support; the implementing module is.

Clone URLs

Both repositories are recorded in the parity TOML header (the Sources block). Read them from there so there is one source of truth:

  • OpenClaw: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw
  • Hermes: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent

Always shallow-clone. These trees are large (OpenClaw ~340MB, Hermes ~200MB even shallow) and full history is never needed for a registry walk:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw /tmp/parity-openclaw
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent /tmp/parity-hermes

Clone both in parallel, and delete both when finished. For a quick single-file spot-check without a full clone, the GitHub contents API reads any tree file directly, which is enough to confirm one module's existence:

gh api "repos/openclaw/openclaw/contents/<path>" --jq '.content' | base64 -d

Status vocabulary

Cells use the page legend exactly: supported, partial, experimental, planned, none, unknown. The verdict turns on what the tree actually wires and runs, not on what a module merely defines. Finding a named module is necessary but not sufficient: before calling a cell supported, rule out the downgrade patterns below.

  • supported when the tree ships a first-class module for it AND it is wired into a real path and on by default. A module that exists but fails one of the downgrade patterns below is not supported; it is partial or none per those rules.
  • partial when support is real but qualified. Use it when the module is:
    • reachable only through a generic gateway rather than a dedicated module, or
    • covers a subset of the surface, or
    • default-off / opt-in (present but disabled unless explicitly enabled; read the config defaults, not just that the code path exists), or
    • selectively wired (live on some trigger/transport paths, dead on others).
  • none when the tree has no equivalent, OR the only match is defined-but-dead (a module with no non-test callers) or a degraded/orphan path (it starts but produces no end-to-end behavior). A directory name or alias is not a match; the implementing, called module is.
  • Use unknown when support has not been assessed or the available evidence is inconclusive. A missing TOML entry also renders unknown; record an explicit value and source notes when a bounded walk cannot establish a verdict.

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.

feature-matrix-parity is a skill published in the GitHub repository zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw (33,061 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 2,408 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
