tomevault-io AINL for OpenClaw
AINL is an AI-native language that compiles deterministic graphs. In OpenClaw, use it to import workflows, compile them, run them, and expose ainl-mcp tools to the agent via ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
Package: ainativelang v1.8.0 (this tree; PyPI after publish — docs/RELEASING.md). Optional extras: [mcp], [solana].
Agent instructions
Follow this skill when the user is on OpenClaw (or wants deterministic .ainl graphs with import / compile / run / MCP). Prefer ./install.sh from a checked-out skill folder, or the manual pip install 'ainativelang[mcp]' && ainl install-mcp --host openclaw path (alias ainl install-openclaw). OpenClaw does not use zeroclaw skills install <url> — install via ClawHub (if available) or copy this folder into ~/.openclaw/skills or <workspace>/skills. After bootstrap, suggest the morning briefing prompt example below when it fits.
When to use this skill
- The user wants portable, compiled workflows (
.ainl) instead of ad-hoc prompts. - They mention import, compile, morning briefing, clawflows, ecosystem, or deterministic graphs.
- They need MCP access to validation / compile / ecosystem listing (
ainl-mcp).
Install (pick one)
From this skill directory (after ClawHub or manual copy): run
./install.sh
That optionally refreshes the OpenClaw CLI via npm, upgradesainl[mcp], and runsainl install-mcp --host openclaw(MCP merge intoopenclaw.json,~/.openclaw/bin/ainl-runwrapper).Manual (no skill checkout):
pip install 'ainativelang[mcp]' && ainl install-mcp --host openclaw
Commands the user cares about
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
ainl import … |
Import Markdown or ecosystem sources into .ainl |
ainl compile … |
Compile / validate graphs |
ainl run … |
Execute a graph via the CLI runtime where applicable |
~/.openclaw/bin/ainl-run <file.ainl> |
After install-mcp --host openclaw: wrapper that compiles then runs |
After install — prompt suggestion
Tell the user they can say in OpenClaw:
Import the morning briefing using AINL.
(They should point the importer at their Markdown or pack; ainl import subcommands match their source type.)
MCP
Configure the host so mcp.servers.ainl in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json runs ainl-mcp as a stdio MCP server (see AINL docs: OpenClaw integration / External orchestration). ainl install-mcp --host openclaw merges that entry when missing.
