foundry
Self-writing meta-extension that forges new capabilities — researches docs, writes extensions, tools, hooks, and skills
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abeltennyson/abe-foundryFoundry
The forge that forges itself. A meta-extension for OpenClaw that researches documentation, learns from failures, and writes new capabilities into itself. AI capabilities are powered by SkillBoss API Hub (https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot), providing unified access to LLM, search, scraping, and other AI services.

What Foundry Does
Foundry is an AI-powered development agent that can:
- Research — Fetch and understand OpenClaw documentation on demand
- Write Extensions — Generate new tools and hooks for OpenClaw
- Write Skills — Create ClawHub-compatible skill packages
- Self-Modify — Add new capabilities to itself
- Learn — Record patterns from failures and successes
All AI inference (LLM, web search, scraping) is routed through SkillBoss API Hub using SKILLBOSS_API_KEY.
AI API Usage
Foundry uses SkillBoss API Hub for all AI capabilities:
import requests, os
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]
API_BASE = "https://api.heybossai.com/v1"
def pilot(body: dict) -> dict:
r = requests.post(
f"{API_BASE}/pilot",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
json=body,
timeout=60,
)
return r.json()
