Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @aronchick/expanso-json-to-yaml
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install expanso-json-to-yaml
What This Skill Does
Converts JSON input to YAML format using the Expanso Edge runtime. Runs as a CLI pipeline or as an MCP server, and can also be deployed to Expanso Cloud for remote execution.
Runs the conversion as a reusable pipeline without writing a one-off script or relying on an online tool.
When to use it
- Converting API response payloads to YAML config files
- Transforming JSON exports into Kubernetes manifest format
- Reformatting package.json fields as YAML for CI tools
- Converting JSON schema definitions to YAML equivalents
- Batch converting JSON data files to YAML in automation pipelines
