Addition Assistant

What This Skill Does

The Addition Assistant is a specialized OpenClaw AI agent skill designed to perform precise addition calculations for a variety of numeric formats. Whether you are dealing with simple integers, complex decimal values, or negative numbers, this skill acts as a reliable calculator that parses your natural language input, identifies the numerical components, and provides a clear, step-by-step summation. It is engineered to handle various input styles, including standard mathematical notation like '5 + 10', sequences separated by commas or spaces, and even Chinese character input (e.g., '3加5'). By normalizing full-width symbols to standard half-width characters, the skill ensures that calculations are processed accurately, regardless of the input device or language settings used by the operator.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or command-line interface: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chenyihang1993/addition-assistant-skill. Once the installation is complete, the skill will be automatically registered and ready for invocation by the agent. You can view the source code or contribute improvements via the official repository located at openclaw/skills.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for tasks requiring quick, repetitive, or occasional mathematical verification during conversational interactions with the AI. Typical scenarios include reconciling small sets of expenses, summing data points extracted from a conversation, or assisting in basic administrative tasks where precise arithmetic is required without the overhead of a full spreadsheet application. It is particularly effective for users who prefer interacting with their AI in natural language rather than switching context to a calculator app.

Example Prompts

1. "What is the total of 12.5, 15.3, and 20?"
2. "Please add -5 + 10 + 2.5 together for me."
3. "Calculate 10加20加30."

Tips & Limitations

The Addition Assistant is strictly limited to addition operations. It does not support subtraction, multiplication, division, or complex algebraic symbolic manipulation. If an input contains ambiguous characters or non-numeric values that cannot be parsed as part of a sum, the skill will prompt the user for clarification. To achieve the best results, ensure your inputs are distinct numbers. For complex operations involving multiple types of arithmetic, please use a dedicated mathematical agent, as this tool is purpose-built for the specific task of adding lists of numbers.
