Skill Packs

Skill packs are curated bundles of agent skills that work together with specific companion services. Each pack provides a coherent set of capabilities for a particular use case. There are currently 10 skill packs available. Skill packs work across all 8 supported agent frameworks.

How Skill Packs Work

When you select a skill pack during stack generation, the CLI:

1. Ensures all required services are included in your stack
2. Copies the skill YAML files into configs/openclaw/skills/
3. Configures environment variables to connect skills to services
4. Adds the skills to the OpenClaw gateway configuration

Using Skill Packs

# Via CLI flags
npx create-better-openclaw my-stack --skills researcher,memory --yes

# Via the interactive wizard — select during step 4
npx create-better-openclaw my-stack

# Via the API
curl -X POST https://better-openclaw.dev/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENCLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-stack", "skills": ["researcher", "memory"]}'

Combining Skill Packs

You can select multiple skill packs. The CLI automatically deduplicates shared services:

# Researcher + Memory + Automation
npx create-better-openclaw my-stack \
  --skills researcher,memory,automation \
  --yes

# This resolves to services:
# searxng, browserless, qdrant, redis, n8n

Next Steps

• Service Catalog — browse all available services
• Adding Services — create custom service definitions
• CLI Reference — use --skills flag
