Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Runs basic system checks to confirm the OpenClaw environment is working. Executes commands like pwd, ls, and date, then validates their output. Useful before or after installing other skills.
No dependencies means it runs anywhere Python 3 is available, making it a reliable first check when the environment is in an unknown state.
When to use it
- Verifying OpenClaw is set up correctly after install
- Checking file system permissions in the agent workspace
- Running a custom shell command and seeing its output
- Confirming Python availability and version
- Diagnosing why another skill failed to execute
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: 'Is OpenClaw working correctly on my machine?'
- 1Runs python3 scripts/run_tests.py to execute the full test suite
- 2Checks Python version and working directory
- 3Tests file system read and execute access
- 4Runs date, pwd, and ls commands and validates their output
- 5Reports pass/fail status for each check
