task-decomposer
Decomposes complex user requests into executable subtasks, identifies required capabilities, searches for existing skills at skills.sh, and creates new skills when no solution exists. This skill should be used when the user submits a complex multi-step request, wants to automate workflows, or needs help breaking down large tasks into manageable pieces.
Why use this skill?
Use the Task Decomposer to break down complex multi-step user requests into executable workflows, identify skill gaps, and automatically create custom solutions.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/10e9928a/super-skillsWhat This Skill Does
The Task Decomposer is the orchestrator of the OpenClaw ecosystem. It transforms vague, multi-layered user objectives into structured, logical, and executable workflows. By functioning as an intelligent intermediary, it breaks down complex prompts into atomic tasks, identifies the specific capability requirements for each unit, and scans the global skills.sh repository to fetch existing solutions. If a required capability does not yet exist within the ecosystem, the skill automatically generates a new, optimized skill definition to bridge the gap. It is essentially the architect that ensures your complex automation needs are translated into actionable code.
Installation
To integrate this intelligence into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following installation command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/10e9928a/super-skills
Ensure your local environment is authenticated with the OpenClaw core agent to allow the skill to interact with the repository and generate new modules automatically.
Use Cases
- Automated Workflow Orchestration: Build complex cross-app pipelines, such as moving data from CRM software to internal dashboards.
- Complex Research Tasks: Break down broad research inquiries into sub-tasks for web scraping, data summarization, and report generation.
- Legacy Automation: Modernize repetitive multi-step manual processes by converting them into unified, repeatable OpenClaw workflows.
- Custom Capability Gap Filling: Rapidly develop specialized helper skills when existing public skills cannot fulfill a specific requirement.
Example Prompts
- "I need to monitor the company Slack for project updates, summarize them, and create Trello cards for action items every Friday."
- "Search for the latest industry news on AI, filter for breakthroughs in healthcare, and create a formatted PDF weekly brief."
- "Help me build a system that checks my bank transactions, categorizes my spending into a Google Sheet, and emails me a report if I exceed my budget."
Tips & Limitations
- Clarity is Key: While this skill is powerful at decomposition, providing precise core objectives in your initial prompt improves accuracy.
- Review Before Run: When the skill creates a new module, always review the generated code, especially if it involves external API calls or sensitive system permissions.
- Network Dependence: The search functionality relies on active connectivity to the OpenClaw hub; ensure your network permits these connections.
