What is OpenTIL?
The til skill is an advanced knowledge management tool designed for developers to document their learning journey directly within their terminal. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, it transforms raw thoughts, conversation fragments, or debugging breakthroughs into well-structured Today I Learned entries. It handles everything from AI-assisted title generation and tagging to language detection and server-side Markdown rendering.
This skill bridges the gap between fleeting insights and permanent knowledge by integrating with the OpenTIL.ai platform. Whether you are working solo or with an AI agent, it ensures that valuable technical discoveries are never lost, providing a centralized hub for your professional growth and technical documentation.
OpenTIL Use Cases
- Capturing quick technical notes or code snippets during active development.
- Extracting multiple learning points from long AI-agent debugging sessions.
- Maintaining a public technical blog or a private internal knowledge base.
- Syncing offline learning drafts to the cloud once a network connection is established.
- Categorizing and tagging professional insights for easy future retrieval.
How OpenTIL Works
- The skill receives input via an explicit /til command or by extracting insights from the current conversation context.
- It generates a structured entry including a descriptive title, tags, a concise summary, and the Markdown body.
- The skill checks for an active session token via environment variables or a local credentials file.
- Upon authentication, the entry is POSTed to the OpenTIL API and published or saved as a draft.
- If no token is found, the entry is securely cached in a local drafts directory to prevent data loss.

- Obtain a Personal Access Token from the OpenTIL Dashboard with read, write, and delete scopes.
