Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @mattvalenta/pls-agent-tools
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install pls-agent-tools
What This Skill Does
A collection of shell utilities for file manipulation, config processing, text transformation, and system operations. Covers common tasks like JSON/YAML editing, regex search-and-replace, process management, and encoding conversions. Wraps standard CLI tools into ready-to-use patterns.
Consolidates scattered CLI one-liners into a single reference so agents don't need to reconstruct common patterns from scratch.
When to use it
- Renaming batches of files by pattern
- Extracting or updating fields in JSON and YAML configs
- Killing a process stuck on a specific port
- Validating JSON or YAML before deployment
- Decoding base64 or URL-encoded strings
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: extract the 'version' field from package.json and update it to 2.0.0
AGENT
- 1Read current version with `jq '.version' package.json`
- 2Write updated value with `jq '.version = "2.0.0"' package.json > tmp`
- 3Replace original file with `mv tmp package.json`
- 4Validate result with `jq '.version' package.json`
OUTPUT
package.json now contains "version": "2.0.0"
