What This Skill Does

The NetPad skill provides a robust interface for interacting with the NetPad platform, enabling AI agents to manage the entire lifecycle of forms, project submissions, and identity access control. It bridges the gap between raw data collection and administrative oversight by allowing users to programmatically create structured forms, query incoming submission data, manage projects, and handle RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) user settings. Whether you are automating customer onboarding via custom forms or managing organizational access policies, this skill acts as the central control plane for all NetPad operations.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mrlynn/netpad

Ensure that you have generated a valid NETPAD_API_KEY from your NetPad account settings. You can authenticate by exporting this key as an environment variable (export NETPAD_API_KEY="your_key_here") or by logging in via the NetPad CLI (netpad login).

Use Cases

This skill is designed for high-efficiency administrative and development workflows. Common use cases include:

1. Dynamic Form Deployment: Automatically generating forms based on project requirements or user input.
2. Submission Pipeline Automation: Aggregating data from multiple forms to feed into other backend services or AI-driven analytics workflows.
3. RBAC Management: Programmatically adding, removing, or updating user roles and group access within a NetPad workspace to ensure least-privilege security.
4. Marketplace Integration: Discovering and installing extensions via the command line to extend the capabilities of your existing workspace.

Example Prompts

1. "List all current forms in project 'proj_123' and check if any new submissions have arrived in the last 24 hours."
2. "Create a new support request form with fields for name, email, priority, and ticket description, then publish it."
3. "Who are the current users with administrative access in the marketing project and can you remove the role for user 'u_987'?"

Tips & Limitations

• Project Scope: Always remember that forms reside within projects. Always verify your projectId before attempting to create or modify forms.
• Authentication: Using a test key (np_test_xxx) is recommended during development to avoid polluting production databases with draft submissions.
• Pagination: When querying submissions via the API, be aware that large datasets may require pagination handling; ensure your workflows account for pageSize constraints.
• Security: Never hardcode your API keys in your scripts. Always utilize environment variables or secure secret managers to handle your NETPAD_API_KEY credentials.
