Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Switched required environment variables from EXPANSO_CLI_ENDPOINT to EXPANSO_EDGE_BOOTSTRAP_URL and EXPANSO_EDGE_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN for improved Edge node bootstrapping. - Simplified setup: Edge now registers automatically when started with the new environment variables. - Updated documentation to guide users on providing both Bootstrap URL and Token, instead of just a Cloud Endpoint URL. - Metadata and config sections now reflect the new connection workflow for registering Edge nodes.
What This Skill Does
Runs data processing pipelines locally using Expanso Edge, a runtime that executes jobs on your machine. Connects to Expanso Cloud for orchestration and lets you deploy from a marketplace of 172+ pre-built pipelines covering AI, security, transforms, and utilities. Credentials and data stay on your machine throughout.
Unlike cloud-only processing tools, pipelines execute on your local machine so sensitive data and credentials never leave your environment.
When to use it
- Redacting PII from customer feedback before sharing with third parties
- Transcribing audio files without uploading to external services
- Scanning a codebase for accidentally committed secrets
- Converting CSV exports to JSON for downstream processing
- Summarizing long documents offline
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Redact the PII from this customer feedback text
- 1Identifies the pii-redact pipeline from the Expanso skills marketplace
- 2Deploys the pipeline to the local Expanso Edge node via Expanso Cloud
- 3Sends the input text to the local Edge for processing
- 4Edge executes the pii-redact pipeline entirely on the local machine
- 5Returns the redacted text with PII replaced
The original text with names, emails, phone numbers, and other PII replaced with redacted placeholders
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
