What This Skill Does

The Hive skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful bridge to your Hive project management workspace. By leveraging the Membrane CLI infrastructure, this skill allows users to seamlessly manage the entire lifecycle of project operations—including users, projects, actions, notes, files, and team activities—directly from their AI agent. It abstracts away the complexities of API authentication and token management, enabling you to focus on productivity rather than plumbing.

Installation

To integrate Hive with OpenClaw, ensure you have the Membrane CLI installed globally via npm: npm install -g @membranehq/cli. Once installed, perform the initial tenant login using membrane login --tenant. To connect your specific Hive instance, use membrane search hive --elementType=connector --json to locate the connector ID, followed by membrane connect --connectorId=CONNECTOR_ID --json. For headless environments, follow the CLI prompts to complete authentication via browser-based code verification. Once configured, install the skill directly into OpenClaw with the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/gora050/hive.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for project managers, team leads, and operations professionals who spend their day in Hive. You can use it to automate daily stand-up reporting, rapidly create tasks based on ad-hoc requests, fetch file attachments from specific project folders, or audit team activity logs. It is particularly effective for teams looking to reduce context switching by managing high-level project status updates through conversational AI prompts rather than navigating complex web dashboards.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my Hive workspace and list all tasks due today in the Marketing project."
2. "Create a new project named 'Q4 Roadmap' in Hive and add a note detailing the budget approval."
3. "Summarize the latest activities and file updates in the Product Development folder from the last 24 hours."

Tips & Limitations

When interacting with Hive via the agent, always start by running membrane connection list --json to verify your existing credentials before troubleshooting issues. If you are uncertain about how to trigger a specific operation, use membrane action list --intent=QUERY --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID --json to view current action signatures and required input schemas. Note that the skill relies on the Membrane CLI's capability to manage token refreshes; if you encounter authentication errors, re-running the login flow is the recommended first step. Ensure your user account has the appropriate permissions within Hive to perform the actions you are attempting through the API.
