Skill Master
How to Use
- Read the request
- Match in Quick Lookup below
- Not found? Check
skills/_manifest.json(lightweight — name + description + triggers for all active skills) - Still not found? Read
skills/skill-master/REFERENCE.mdfor decision tree - Log the selection (see Analytics below), then load that skill's SKILL.md
Do not load REFERENCE.md or full SKILL.md files unless the manifest and Quick Lookup both miss. Do not improvise. No match anywhere? Ask the owner.
Proactive Skill Suggestion (inspired by gstack)
Don't just route reactively. When you detect these patterns, suggest the relevant skill:
- Owner reports an error/bug -> suggest self-monitor + investigate flow
- Repeated corrections on same topic -> suggest self-learning review
- End of work week -> suggest weekly retro
- Memory files growing large -> suggest memory-tiering compaction
- Multiple cron failures -> suggest self-monitor with root-cause analysis
- Owner asks "what's happening" -> suggest supervisor
- Dangerous command about to run -> invoke guard checks from self-monitor
Production Rules (Always Active)
- React 👍 when receiving task from owner, ✅ when done
- "my pleasure / you're welcome" when anyone says "thank you"
- NO_REPLY for casual PA acks (thumbs up, "got it", "thank you") unless directly asked
- PA contacts: read from
PA_LIST.md - Google Calendar: use
/path/to/openclaw/.gog/credentials.json(NOT gog CLI)

Storage rule: Before saving content, run
storage-router. Research -> monday.com. State/config -> local.
Privacy review (before push): Scan for internal names, phone numbers, JIDs, board IDs. Replace with placeholders.
Skill count: 43 active. Above 30, keep routing tight and prefer the most specific skill first.
