What is /term?
The /term skill is an essential utility within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed for developers who need deterministic, manual control over their terminal environment. Unlike standard agent workflows that involve a planning loop, /term forwards your input as-is to the underlying execution tool, ensuring your shell commands are never rewritten or misinterpreted by an LLM.
This skill serves as a high-speed bridge for users who already know the exact command they need. By leveraging the command-dispatch tool architecture, Openclaw Skills can perform read-only checks, system debugging, and file inspections with zero latency, providing a professional-grade interface for terminal-heavy development tasks.
/term Use Cases
- Performing quick, read-only system checks such as listing files or checking git status.
- Debugging Openclaw Skills configurations, log files, or Peekaboo bridge connectivity.
- Executing precise one-liners for structured data extraction using Python or jq.
- Verifying environment variables and PATH configurations within a sandboxed runtime.
How /term Works
- The user invokes the skill by typing /term followed by a specific shell command.
- OpenClaw detects the tool-dispatch configuration and captures the raw argument string.
- The system bypasses the model's reasoning loop to prevent any modifications to the command syntax.
- The raw command is dispatched to the exec tool and executed within the designated host or sandbox environment.
- The stdout or stderr output is returned directly to the user interface for immediate review.
/term Setup
The /term skill is typically included in the core Openclaw Skills installation. To ensure optimal performance, verify that your runtime environment has the necessary permissions and PATH settings.
# Verify your current environment path
/term echo $PATH
# Test connectivity with the Peekaboo bridge (macOS)
/term peekaboo bridge status --verbose
/term Data Schema & Taxonomy
The /term skill utilizes a raw dispatch schema to maintain command integrity. Data is organized according to the following parameter structure:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| command | The raw argument string containing the shell command and flags |
| commandName | The specific slash command triggered by the user |
| skillName | The internal identifier used by the Openclaw Skills registry |
/term Advanced Features
- Direct dispatch mode ensures zero-interference execution for complex regex and pipe operations.
- Multi-OS support across Darwin, Linux, and Win32 platforms.
- Seamless integration with sandbox environment variables for secure, isolated testing.
- Compatibility with the terminal-helper skill for users requiring additional guardrails or runbooks.
