The macOS app surfaces OpenClaw skills via the gateway; it does not parse skills locally.

## Data source
|
2026-01-31 21:13:13 +09:00
|
|

|

|
|
|
- `skills.status` (gateway) returns all skills plus eligibility and missing requirements
|
|
|
|
|
(including allowlist blocks for bundled skills).
|
2026-01-30 03:15:10 +01:00
|
|
|
- Requirements are derived from `metadata.openclaw.requires` in each `SKILL.md`.

## Install actions
|
2026-01-31 21:13:13 +09:00
|
|
|
|
2026-01-30 03:15:10 +01:00
|
|
|
- `metadata.openclaw.install` defines install options (brew/node/go/uv).
|
2025-12-20 13:33:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- The app calls `skills.install` to run installers on the gateway host.
|
2026-01-01 10:07:31 +01:00
|
|
|
- The gateway surfaces only one preferred installer when multiple are provided
|
|
|
|
|
(brew when available, otherwise node manager from `skills.install`, default npm).
|

## Env/API keys
|
2026-01-31 21:13:13 +09:00
|
|
|
|
2026-01-30 03:15:10 +01:00
|
|
|
- The app stores keys in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `skills.entries.<skillKey>`.
|
2025-12-20 13:33:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- `skills.update` patches `enabled`, `apiKey`, and `env`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remote mode
|
2026-01-31 21:13:13 +09:00
|
|
|
|
2025-12-20 13:33:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- Install + config updates happen on the gateway host (not the local Mac).
