usecase-catalog
Comprehensive catalog of what people are doing with OpenClaw. Covers 15+ categories with real examples, sources, and inspiration. Use when asked about OpenClaw use cases, what others are building, project ideas, or 'what can OpenClaw do'. Triggers on: use cases, ideas, inspiration, what people do, showcase, examples.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chunhualiao/openclaw-usecase-catalogWhat This Skill Does
The usecase-catalog skill acts as a community-driven repository and discovery engine for OpenClaw capabilities. It is designed to track how users are leveraging the agent across various domains, ranging from simple message automation to complex cross-platform scheduling. By maintaining a structured, bilingual (Chinese/English) record of real-world implementations, this skill serves as both a knowledge base for the user and an inspiration hub for new workflows.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chunhualiao/openclaw-usecase-catalog
Ensure you have git access configured to the target directory to allow the skill to push your findings to the repository.
Use Cases
- Discovering Automation Inspiration: Browse the catalog to see how others automate daily tasks like Inbox Zero, multi-calendar synchronization, or complex appointment booking.
- Bilingual Documentation: Capture and store new creative use cases in a structured format that supports both Chinese and English, making the data accessible to a wider audience.
- Trend Tracking: Monitor community showcases from platforms like Reddit and X (Twitter) to stay ahead of the latest AI agent patterns.
- Knowledge Sharing: Contribute your own custom automations to the catalog to help the community build more effective agentic workflows.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, I'm feeling unproductive. Show me some popular examples of how people use the agent to handle their daily calendar and scheduling?"
- "I just built a new way to auto-summarize my Slack channels using OpenClaw. Help me document this in the catalog following the official format."
- "What can OpenClaw actually do for a developer? Find me some inspiration from the catalog that relates to coding or repo management."
Tips & Limitations
- Persistence: Always ensure the
findings/directory is writable by the agent; otherwise, discovery saving will fail. - Consistency: When documenting, always maintain the bilingual format (Chinese first). This consistency is vital for long-term project maintainability.
- Verification: While the catalog is a great source of inspiration, always verify the source links before implementing complex automations, as community scripts may evolve rapidly.
- Network: The skill requires external network access to crawl platforms for fresh inspiration. If you are in a high-security environment, ensure your firewall permits outbound access to target community platforms.

task-runner
Persistent task queue system. Users add tasks at any time via natural language; tasks are stored in a single persistent queue file and executed asynchronously via subagents. A heartbeat/cron dispatcher wakes periodically to check pending tasks, spawn workers, and report completions. The system never "finishes" — it always remains ready for the next task.
git-repo-to-book
Write a full-length technical book using multi-agent AI orchestration. Spawns parallel research, writing, and review agents to produce 60K-100K+ word manuscripts. Also supports revising individual chapters of existing books. Based on the real workflow that produced an 88,000-word, 14-chapter book in under 18 hours.
claude-usage
Check Claude Max plan usage limits by launching Claude Code and running /usage. Use when the user asks about Claude plan usage, remaining quota, rate limits, or sends /claude_usage.
skill-engineer
Design, test, review, and maintain agent skills for OpenClaw systems using multi-agent iterative refinement. Orchestrates Designer, Reviewer, and Tester subagents for quality-gated skill development. Use when user asks to "design skill", "review skill", "test skill", "audit skills", "refactor skill", or mentions "agent kit quality".
deepwiki
Query DeepWiki MCP to get AI-grounded answers about any public GitHub repository. Use when answering questions about a repo's source code, architecture, configuration, or internals. Triggers on "how does X work in <repo>", "deepwiki", "look up in codebase", "ask deepwiki", "check the source code".
