linode
Linode (Akamai) — compute instances, volumes, networking, NodeBalancers, domains, and Kubernetes.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/linodeWhat This Skill Does
The Linode (Akamai) skill for OpenClaw provides an integrated interface for managing your cloud infrastructure directly through natural language prompts or automation scripts. It empowers agents to handle compute instances, block storage volumes, network configurations, NodeBalancers, and Kubernetes (LKE) clusters. By abstracting the complex Linode API into simple Python-based CLI commands, the skill allows you to provision resources, monitor system status, and execute maintenance tasks like booting, rebooting, or shutting down instances without leaving your terminal or agent interface.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw management CLI. Run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/linode. Once installed, ensure you have a valid Linode/Akamai API token. Set this token as an environment variable LINODE_TOKEN in your agent's configuration profile to enable secure authentication with your cloud account.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for DevOps automation, rapid prototyping, and automated infrastructure management. For example, a developer can instruct their agent to spin up a new Ubuntu server for a project, attach a storage volume, and verify the deployment status. It is also useful for cloud cost management, allowing agents to audit existing infrastructure, list current instance types and regions, and decommission unused resources to save on monthly costs.
Example Prompts
- "List all my currently running instances and provide their IDs so I can see what is active."
- "Create a new Ubuntu 24.04 instance in the us-east region named 'dev-server-01' using a nanode plan."
- "Check if any NodeBalancers are configured and list the details for the first one found."
Tips & Limitations
Always follow the principle of least privilege when generating your Linode API token; ensure the token only has the permissions necessary for the agent's tasks. Note that this skill requires an active internet connection to communicate with the Akamai/Linode API. Because it performs direct infrastructure modifications (like deleting instances), always ensure your agent has proper guardrails or human-in-the-loop verification enabled before executing destructive commands. Keep your local scripts updated by pulling the latest version from the OpenClaw repository to ensure compatibility with API updates.
