GitHub – VoltAgent/awesome-openclaw-skills: The awesome collection of OpenClaw Skills. Formerly known as Moltbot, originally Clawdbot.

If you’ve ever wished your local AI assistant could do just a little more, this is one of those finds that quietly changes how you work.

The GitHub project awesome-openclaw-skills is a curated collection of skills for OpenClaw, a locally running AI assistant that lives on your own machine. No cloud dependency, no constant hand holding. Just tools that extend what your assistant can actually do for you day to day.

What I appreciate here is the honesty. OpenClaw has gone through a few name changes over the years (Moltbot, Clawdbot, and yes, a bit of an identity shuffle), and the maintainers don’t pretend otherwise. They keep things current, update categories when things shift, and clearly explain how skills are sourced and filtered.

Right now, OpenClaw’s public registry hosts over 3,000 community-built skills. From that massive pool, this list narrows things down to about 1,700 carefully selected options, excluding spam, duplicates, risky content, and non-English descriptions. It’s not perfect, and they openly say that. That kind of transparency builds trust.

The skills themselves are surprisingly practical. Think CRM integrations, email management, blog publishing, A/B test planning, social media interaction, even turning long blog posts into Kindle-ready ebooks. These aren’t flashy demos. They’re the kinds of tools you reach for on a Tuesday afternoon when you just want something done without friction.

Installation is refreshingly simple. You can copy a skill folder into your workspace, or even paste a GitHub repo link directly into your assistant chat and let it handle setup in the background. I’ve done this myself, and that moment when it just works feels… relieving.

One important note, and this is worth slowing down for. Inclusion does not guarantee safety. Reviewing skills before installing them is still on you, and using code inspection tools is strongly encouraged.

Looking ahead, collections like this hint at something bigger. Local AI that’s personal, extensible, and shaped by a community that actually cares. And honestly, that feels like a direction worth paying attention to.
