It is built for a single operator, not a team. The repository carries 387,904 GitHub stars, and Flowy lists it under agent orchestration. All 67 of the plugin's components are skills: no agents, commands, MCP servers, or hooks. Flowy indexes what the repository ships; it does not own, host, or run OpenClaw itself. ## What does OpenClaw include? The 67 skills group into families more usefully than a flat list. - **Messaging where the operator already is.** `slack` and `discord` cover team chat, `imsg` handles iMessage and SMS with replies, reactions, and polls, `wacli` sends and searches WhatsApp through a third-party client rather than your normal active chats, `xurl` posts and reads on X, `voice-call` starts a phone call, and `himalaya` covers plain IMAP and SMTP mail. - **Notes, tasks, and a personal wiki.** `apple-notes`, `apple-reminders`, `bear-notes`, and `things-mac` cover native macOS apps, `notion` and `trello` cover the hosted equivalents, and `obsidian`, `obsidian-vault-maintainer`, and `wiki-maintainer` keep a linked memory vault current with frontmatter and managed blocks. - **A matched Feishu set.** `feishu-doc`, `feishu-drive`, `feishu-perm`, and `feishu-wiki` split Feishu work into documents, cloud storage and comments, collaborators and permissions, and the knowledge base: four skills meant to be used together, not one skill covering all of it. - **Developer and coding work, the largest family.** `coding-agent` hands a task to Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode as a background worker, `acp-router` routes a request into whichever coding agent runtime fits, `gemini` runs Gemini CLI prompts, `github` and `gh-issues` cover issues, pull requests, and CI logs, `oracle` asks a second model to review or refactor chosen files, `diffs` produces a real shareable diff, `tmux` drives terminal sessions, `node-inspect-debugger` and `python-debugpy` cover Node.js and Python debugging, `skill-creator` authors `SKILL.md` files, `clawhub` finds, installs, and publishes skills, `session-logs` searches past sessions, `model-usage` tracks cost by model, and `spike` runs a throwaway prototype. - **Search, mail, and web services.** `tavily` searches and extracts web content, `browser-automation` drives a real browser through multi-step flows, `summarize` condenses a URL, video, podcast, or PDF, `blogwatcher` watches RSS and Atom feeds, `weather` pulls forecasts, `goplaces` queries Google Places, `gog` covers Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs, and `mcporter` calls other MCP servers. - **The physical world.** `openhue` runs Hue scenes, `sonoscli` and `blucli` control Sonos and BluOS speakers, `eightctl` sets an Eight Sleep pod's temperature and alarms, `camsnap` pulls frames or clips from RTSP and ONVIF cameras, and `node-connect` diagnoses why the OpenClaw Control UI will not connect, in a browser or as a native macOS, iOS, or Android node. - **Media, voice, and small creative jobs.** `spotify-player`, `gifgrep`, and `meme-maker` cover music, GIF search, and memes, `songsee` renders audio spectrograms, `video-frames` pulls stills or clips from video, `sag` and `sherpa-onnx-tts` cover cloud and fully offline text to speech, `openai-whisper` and `openai-whisper-api` cover local and hosted transcription, `diagram-maker` builds architecture diagrams, `canvas` displays hosted widgets on a macOS panel, `peekaboo` captures and drives the macOS UI, and `nano-pdf` edits a PDF from a plain instruction. - **Keeping the setup itself in order.** `1password` reads or injects secrets from the CLI, `healthcheck` audits and hardens an OpenClaw host, and `taskflow` coordinates a multi-step job, with `taskflow-inbox-triage` as a worked example for inbox triage. `ordercli` stands alone: it checks past orders and order status for Foodora, with Deliveroo still in progress. ## Who reaches for which part of OpenClaw? Nobody installs this for all 67 skills at once. You install it because your day already runs through two or three of these, and having the assistant wired into them beats a chatbot that only answers inside its own window. Someone shipping code reaches for `coding-agent` and `github`, then `oracle` for a second opinion. Someone whose house runs on Hue and Sonos gets `openhue` and `sonoscli` the moment OpenClaw is running. The Feishu set shows the shape best: nobody needs all four unless they are actually on Feishu. ## What should I know before I install OpenClaw? Several of these skills are explicit about needing macOS: `apple-notes`, `apple-reminders`, `bear-notes`, `things-mac`, `peekaboo`, and `canvas` all name macOS or a Mac app in their own description. `node-connect` covers macOS, iOS, and Android nodes, so the wider system reaches beyond one platform even where a given skill does not. This is a single-operator design by its own summary: built for one person's accounts, not shared team infrastructure. ## How do I install OpenClaw in Claude Code?

It ships 67 skills, all of them Claude Code skills, spanning messaging, notes and tasks, developer tools, smart home control, and media. Flowy indexes the plugin from its public repository; it does not own, host, or run OpenClaw itself. ### What messaging apps can steipete/clawdis reach? The plugin covers `slack` and `discord` for team chat, `imsg` for iMessage and SMS threads including replies and reactions, `wacli` for sending and searching WhatsApp messages through a third-party client rather than your normal active chats, `xurl` for reading and posting on X, `voice-call` for starting an actual phone call, and `himalaya` for plain IMAP and SMTP email. ### Does steipete/clawdis support Feishu (Lark)? Yes. Four skills split the work: `feishu-doc` for documents, `feishu-drive` for cloud storage and comments, `feishu-perm` for collaborators and sharing permissions, and `feishu-wiki` for knowledge base navigation. They are described as separate, deliberate skills rather than one skill covering all of Feishu. ### Can steipete/clawdis control smart home devices? Yes. `openhue` runs Philips Hue lights and scenes, `sonoscli` and `blucli` control Sonos and BluOS speakers, `eightctl` manages an Eight Sleep pod's temperature, alarms, and schedules, and `camsnap` captures frames or clips from RTSP and ONVIF cameras, including pan, tilt, and zoom on supported hardware. ### Does steipete/clawdis help with software development, not just messaging and home control? Yes, developer work is one of the largest groups in the plugin. `coding-agent` delegates a task to Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode as a background worker, `github` and `gh-issues` cover issues, pull requests, and CI logs, `oracle` asks a second model to review, debug, or refactor a chosen set of files, and `tmux`, `node-inspect-debugger`, `python-debugpy`, `skill-creator`, and `clawhub` round out debugging and skill management. ## Related - [The listing page](https://www.flowy.sh/listings/openclaw-openclaw): Install command, components and repository - [Alternatives to this plugin](https://www.flowy.sh/alternatives/steipete-clawdis): Peers in its category, ranked by stars - [The Claude Code plugin marketplace](https://www.flowy.sh/marketplace/plugins): How plugins install, and every plugin in the index - [Paperclip for Claude Code: what it does and how to install it](https://www.flowy.sh/plugins/paperclipai-paperclip/guide): another plugin guide - [Archon for Claude Code: what it does and how to install it](https://www.flowy.sh/plugins/coleam00-archon/guide): another plugin guide
