rey-skill-creator
Creates new OpenClaw skills following best practices. Interactive workflow for use case definition, frontmatter generation, instruction writing, and validation. Use when user says "create skill", "new skill", "make a skill", or needs to build a skill from scratch.
Why use this skill?
Use the rey-skill-creator to build standardized, high-performance OpenClaw skills. Follow best practices for frontmatter, triggering, and documentation.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/skill-creator-proWhat This Skill Does
The rey-skill-creator is an essential developer tool for the OpenClaw ecosystem, designed to streamline the creation of custom AI agent skills. It acts as an interactive assistant that guides users through a rigid, best-practice workflow to ensure all new skills are functional, compliant, and optimized for performance. The tool enforces structural standards—such as proper YAML frontmatter, kebab-case naming conventions, and explicit trigger-phrase definitions—ensuring that your agents behave predictably and efficiently. By automating the boilerplate process, it reduces human error in skill configuration and documentation.
Installation
To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal within your OpenClaw environment:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/skill-creator-pro
Once installed, you can trigger the skill by simply requesting a new skill creation, and the agent will immediately begin the phase-based workflow to assist you.
Use Cases
- New Feature Development: Developers can use this to quickly spin up a new automation skill, defining specific steps and expected outcomes without worrying about structure requirements.
- Standardization: Teams can enforce a consistent documentation style across all custom AI agent behaviors by requiring all members to use the skill creator.
- Rapid Prototyping: Ideal for testing new AI-driven workflows by quickly drafting the necessary instruction sets and frontmatter configurations.
Example Prompts
- "Create a new skill that monitors my emails for urgent project updates."
- "I need to make a skill that helps me summarize PDF documents automatically."
- "I want to build a skill from scratch that integrates with my GitHub repository."
Tips & Limitations
- Naming Matters: Always use kebab-case for your skill names (e.g.,
email-monitor-pro). Avoid uppercase characters and spaces, as these will cause the OpenClaw loader to fail. - Description Quality: The description field is the most critical component for triggering. Ensure your description includes specific phrases you want the agent to listen for.
- Validation: Always review the validation checklist provided in the final phase. Never add XML tags to your frontmatter, as this is a security risk.
- Complexity: Try to keep your
SKILL.mdfile under 500 lines to ensure the LLM can process the instructions without performance degradation.
