What This Skill Does

The Archon skill provides comprehensive control over the Archon decentralized identity ecosystem within OpenClaw. It allows you to manage local Archon infrastructure, facilitating the creation and management of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), issuance of verifiable credentials, and secure vault operations. Beyond local node management, the skill connects to public network resolvers, enabling seamless verification and resolution of identities on the decentralized web. By integrating with the Keymaster CLI and Docker-based infrastructure, it automates complex cryptographic operations and blockchain anchoring tasks.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command within your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/santyr/archon-skill

Ensure that your system meets the requirements: Linux or macOS are recommended for native Docker support. Windows users should utilize WSL2 for compatibility. You must have Docker Compose installed and properly configured, as the skill interfaces directly with the ~/bin/archon directory to orchestrate services like Keymaster, Gatekeeper, IPFS, and Bitcoin anchoring nodes.

Use Cases

  1. Identity Management: Create, store, and manage unique DIDs for personal or organizational use.
  2. Credential Issuance: Sign and issue verifiable credentials to users, ensuring tamper-proof identity verification.
  3. Node Administration: Monitor, start, and stop your local Archon node infrastructure, including database state and metrics dashboards via Grafana.
  4. Blockchain Anchoring: Bridge decentralized identities to the Bitcoin network for enhanced security and immutability.

Example Prompts

  1. "Archon, perform a health check on my local node and report the status of the Keymaster and Gatekeeper APIs."
  2. "Use my Archon identity to sign a new credential for user ID: did:archon:example123 and store it in my vault."
  3. "Resolve the DID did:archon:public-profile-001 using the Archon public network gateway."

Tips & Limitations

Always keep your wallet passphrase secure; the wallet is encrypted in ~/bin/archon/data/keymaster/wallet.json, and losing the passphrase will result in permanent loss of access to your identity. If running on Windows, avoid using native PowerShell for complex bash scripts; utilize WSL2 to prevent path-handling errors. Monitor your Grafana dashboard on port 3003 regularly to ensure network health and synchronization status are optimal.
