hello-skill
Minimal demo skill that prints a hello message.
Why use this skill?
Learn how to install and use the hello-skill for OpenClaw. This guide provides a simple diagnostic tool to verify your agent setup and confirm that it is working.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/delkoman88/hello-skillWhat This Skill Does
The hello-skill is a foundational demonstration component within the OpenClaw ecosystem, designed specifically to showcase the successful integration and execution of a skill module. At its core, this skill performs a simple diagnostic function: it outputs a predefined "hello" message to the OpenClaw agent's console. While its functionality is intentionally minimalist, it serves as the "Hello World" of the agent world, allowing users to verify that their environment is configured correctly and that the skill-loading mechanism is operational. By invoking this skill, you can confirm that dependencies are resolved, the execution path is clear, and the agent is responsive to basic command triggers.
Installation
To integrate hello-skill into your local OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI initialized. Open your terminal or command interface and execute the following installation command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/delkoman88/hello-skill
Once executed, the package manager will pull the source files from the openclaw/skills repository. No additional configuration files or environment variables are required to enable this skill, making it an excellent choice for testing new installations or verifying workspace integrity.
Use Cases
- Environment Verification: Use this skill immediately after a fresh OpenClaw installation to ensure that the agent can locate, load, and execute external modules without path errors.
- Troubleshooting Connection Issues: If your agent is failing to execute more complex tasks, running
hello-skillcan help isolate whether the issue lies within the OpenClaw runtime or the specific logic of a complex skill. - Learning & Onboarding: Developers new to the OpenClaw architecture can analyze the source code for this skill to understand the directory structure, manifest requirements, and basic command handling patterns necessary for building more complex automation tools.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, please run the hello-skill to check if you are online and working properly."
- "Can you execute the hello-skill?"
- "Hello-skill, please introduce yourself."
Tips & Limitations
Because this is a demonstration skill, it does not interact with your file system, perform network requests, or trigger any background processes. It is a purely passive output command. If you receive an error when attempting to run this, verify that your user account has read permissions in the OpenClaw installation directory. Note that this skill is not intended for production utility; it exists solely for debugging, education, and validation purposes within the framework.
