What is Skill Inventory Manager?

The Skill Inventory Manager is a foundational tool designed to help AI agents maintain a clear and updated record of their capabilities. By scanning the local workspace and reading metadata from individual skill files, it creates a centralized index of all available Openclaw Skills. This ensures that the agent always knows which tools are at its disposal and can provide an accurate list of its functionalities to the user upon request.

This skill acts as a bridge between the filesystem and the agent's self-awareness. It simplifies the process of discovering newly installed Openclaw Skills and provides a standardized way to document the agent's evolving library of tools.

Skill Inventory Manager Use Cases

  • When a user asks to see a list of available AI capabilities or tools.
  • After installing, updating, or removing Openclaw Skills to keep the directory current.
  • Upon initial agent startup to populate the active skill index.
  • Generating a comprehensive reference file for both human developers and AI agents to understand the available Openclaw Skills.

How Skill Inventory Manager Works

  1. The script identifies the skills directory within the defined workspace path.
  2. It recursively scans each subdirectory to find individual SKILL.md documentation files.
  3. Metadata such as the skill name, description, and specific trigger keywords are extracted from these files.
  4. A centralized skills.md file is generated or updated at the workspace root, cataloging all discovered Openclaw Skills for future reference.

Skill Inventory Manager Setup

To set up the inventory manager, ensure the script is located within your skills directory. You can manually refresh your list of Openclaw Skills by running the inventory script through the command line:

python3 <your_skills_directory>/skill-inventory/inventory.py
