When the user wants to interact with OpenClaw or delegate tasks, use the OpenClaw MCP tools.
When to Use This Skill
Activate when the user:
- Wants to chat with OpenClaw ("Ask Claw to...", "Tell my assistant...")
- Delegates tasks ("Have OpenClaw research...", "Let Claw handle...")
- Checks status ("Is OpenClaw running?")
- Manages tasks ("Check task progress", "Cancel that task")
Tools Reference
| Task | Tool | |------|------| | Chat (sync) | `openclaw_chat` | | Chat (async) | `openclaw_chat_async` | | Task status | `openclaw_task_status` | | List tasks | `openclaw_task_list` | | Cancel task | `openclaw_task_cancel` | | Gateway health | `openclaw_status` |
Sync vs Async
**Use sync (`openclaw_chat`):**
- Quick questions
- Simple commands
- When you need immediate response
**Use async (`openclaw_chat_async`):**
- Research tasks
- Long-running operations
- Tasks that might timeout
Example Workflows
**Quick question:**
openclaw_chat message="What's the weather?"
**Long task:**
openclaw_chat_async message="Research competitors and write a report"
→ { task_id: "task_abc123" }
openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "running" }
# ... poll until complete ...
openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "completed", result: "..." }Read more
