What is Fold Tool?
The Fold Tool is a specialized utility within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem that ensures your text files remain readable and consistent by enforcing line width constraints. It is particularly useful for developers and writers who need to format long strings of text to fit within standard terminal widths, code comment blocks, or specific documentation margins without manual editing.
By integrating this skill into your workflow, you can programmatically manage text density and layout. Whether you are prepping logs for terminal viewing or formatting README files, this tool provides a reliable way to maintain clean text structures across various Openclaw Skills environments.
Fold Tool Use Cases
- Formatting long documentation paragraphs to fit a standard 80-character terminal width.
- Cleaning up raw text exports that contain excessively long single lines.
- Pre-processing text data for display in constrained mobile or CLI interfaces.
- Ensuring code comments or git commit messages adhere to team line-length conventions.
How Fold Tool Works
- The user provides an input text file or stream to the utility.
- The tool scans the text for lines exceeding the specified width (defaulting to 80 characters).
- Depending on the flags used, it identifies the optimal break point—either exactly at the character limit or at the nearest preceding whitespace.
- It inserts a newline character at the break point and continues processing the remainder of the line.
- The formatted text is output to the terminal or saved to a designated file.
Fold Tool Setup
To use this utility within your environment, ensure it is installed as part of your Openclaw Skills library. You can run it directly via the CLI:
# Basic installation check
fold-tool --help
# Standard usage to wrap a file at 72 characters
fold-tool -w 72 yourfile.txt
Fold Tool Data Schema & Taxonomy
The Fold Tool processes text streams and outputs formatted strings. It does not maintain a complex database but follows a specific parameter schema:
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
-w |
Integer | The maximum number of characters allowed per line. | 80 |
-s |
Boolean | If true, forces breaks only at space characters to prevent word splitting. | false |
-b |
Boolean | If true, counts bytes rather than character columns (useful for specific encodings). | false |
Fold Tool Advanced Features
- Smart word-boundary detection using the
-sflag to preserve vocabulary integrity. - Byte-level folding for binary or non-UTF8 text processing using the
-boption. - Support for multi-file processing in a single command execution.
- Seamless integration into larger shell pipelines to format output from other Openclaw Skills.
