  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by ArchieIndian on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Openclaw Config Advisor AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers/tree/main/skills/openclaw-native/openclaw-config-advisor
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers.git /tmp/openclaw-superpowers
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw-superpowers/skills/openclaw-native/openclaw-config-advisor .claude/skills/openclaw-config-advisor
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openclaw Config Advisor in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Openclaw Config Advisor on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Openclaw Config Advisor is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

OpenClaw Config Advisor

Config problems usually look like model failures, missing tools, or broken channels. Use this skill when OpenClaw behaves inconsistently and you need a read-only diagnosis before changing settings.

When to Invoke

  • Provider routing or fallback model behavior is wrong
  • A channel cannot connect or stops receiving messages
  • MCP tools are missing, stale, or unavailable
  • The gateway starts but behaves differently than expected
  • You need a current config summary before editing OpenClaw settings

Checks

AreaWhat to inspect
ProvidersProvider keys, model names, default model hints
FallbackFallback or backup model settings
ChannelsTelegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Lark entries
MCPMCP server declarations and command/url hints
GatewayHost, port, log, and process configuration hints

How to Use

bash
python3 advise.py --scan
python3 advise.py --scan --config-dir ~/.openclaw
python3 advise.py --explain fallback
python3 advise.py --status
python3 advise.py --format json

Procedure

  1. Run python3 advise.py --scan --format json.
  2. Review findings by severity: WARN first, then INFO.
  3. Inspect the named config files before editing anything.
  4. Apply config changes only after the user confirms the intended routing or channel behavior.
  5. Re-run the scan and compare with the prior state summary.

State

Scan summaries are stored in ~/.openclaw/skill-state/openclaw-config-advisor/state.yaml.

Fields: last_scan_at, config_dir, findings, affected_areas, and scan_history.

Guardrails

  • This skill is read-only; it does not modify OpenClaw config.
  • Missing config directories are warnings, not crashes.
  • Do not print secrets. Report that secret-like values exist without echoing them.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openclaw Config Advisor AI skill do?

Diagnoses OpenClaw provider, fallback, channel, MCP, and gateway config issues with read-only scans and stateful summaries.

Why use Openclaw Config Advisor on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Openclaw Config Advisor is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Openclaw Config Advisor in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers/tree/main/skills/openclaw-native/openclaw-config-advisor. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Openclaw Config Advisor?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Openclaw Config Advisor?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Openclaw Config Advisor with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Openclaw Config Advisor AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by ArchieIndian. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
