What This Skill Does
CLI tool that generates boilerplate file structures for AI agent skills. Supports OpenClaw/Moltbot, MCP server, and generic templates. Outputs SKILL.md, README.md, and optional scripts or CLI binary scaffolding.
Eliminates manually writing repetitive SKILL.md frontmatter and folder structure that agents like OpenClaw and Moltbot require.
When to use it
- Scaffolding a new OpenClaw skill in under a minute
- Bootstrapping an MCP server with correct file structure
- Starting a Claude Desktop integration from a ready template
- Creating a publishable skill package with proper YAML frontmatter
- Setting up a CLI-enabled skill tool for distribution
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: scaffold a new OpenClaw skill called weather-alerts with a CLI binary
- 1Run `npm install -g skill-scaffold` to install the CLI globally
- 2Run `skill-scaffold weather-alerts --template openclaw --cli --description "Weather alerts for agents"`
- 3CLI generates weather-alerts/ directory with SKILL.md, README.md, scripts/, and bin/weather-alerts.js
- 4User edits SKILL.md to add actual trigger words, commands, and documentation
- 5User publishes with `clawdhub publish .` or `npm publish`
A complete, publish-ready OpenClaw skill directory with correct structure and frontmatter
