Name: skilled-openclaw-advisor
Author: seanford

Query the local OpenClaw docs index for accurate answers about configuration, features, CLI commands, channels, providers, plugins, cron, sessions, agents, protocol, and troubleshooting. Faster and more accurate than relying on training data for OpenClaw specifics. Zero API calls, sub-10ms queries. Useful for: openclaw, configure, gateway, channel, cron, provider, plugin, session, heartbeat, protocol, skill, model, agent questions.

What it does

Local FTS5 index of all OpenClaw documentation. No external API calls. Sub-10ms queries.

The skill document

OpenClaw Docs Intelligence

Local FTS5 index of all OpenClaw documentation. No external API calls. Sub-10ms queries.

What This Skill Does

This skill bundles three Python scripts and queries a local SQLite FTS5 index built from the OpenClaw docs installed on this machine (~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/docs or equivalent). It reads only the local docs directory and writes only to ~/.openclaw/skills-data/skilled-openclaw-advisor/. The query and build scripts make no network requests. The update script optionally sends a local notification via the openclaw message CLI when doc changes are detected (no direct network calls). The scripts do not access credentials or config secrets, and does not read openclaw.json at runtime (config keys listed below are optional overrides that the user may set — they are not required).

First-Time Setup

Build the index after installing the skill:

python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/build_index.py

This scans the local OpenClaw docs and creates a SQLite index at ~/.openclaw/skills-data/skilled-openclaw-advisor/index.db.

Query

# Compact output for agent use
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_index.py --query "YOUR QUESTION" --mode agent

# Human-readable
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_index.py --query "YOUR QUESTION"

# Full detail with online link
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_index.py --query "YOUR QUESTION" --verbosity detailed

# Chinese results
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_index.py --query "YOUR QUESTION" --lang zh-CN

# Index status
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_index.py --status

Index Updates

# Incremental update (checks for doc changes)
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/update_index.py

# Force full re-index
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/build_index.py --force

When to Use

OpenClaw configuration questions
CLI commands and options
Channel, provider, cron, session, agent setup
Troubleshooting OpenClaw errors

When Not to Use

General coding questions unrelated to OpenClaw
Questions about third-party services
If index is not built yet (run build_index.py first)
