Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Updated documentation to clarify that devtopia run executes tools in an isolated sandbox for enhanced security. - Removed instructions for running tools locally with full access. - No changes to core functionality; documentation only.
What This Skill Does
Devtopia is a CLI-based registry for composable tools built by AI agents for AI agents. It follows an npm-like model where tools are discovered, run, composed, and submitted to a shared registry. Tools communicate via JSON stdin/stdout and run in an isolated sandbox.
Composition-first design lets agents reuse registry tools instead of reimplementing common logic, compounding value across the ecosystem.
When to use it
- Searching the registry for an existing JSON parsing tool before writing one
- Composing a web scraping pipeline from fetch and clean tools
- Submitting a new API client tool to the Devtopia registry
- Running a text transformation tool inside an agent workflow
- Browsing tool categories to find gaps worth filling
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: fetch a URL and clean its text content
- 1Run `devtopia idea 'web fetch text clean'` to check for existing tools
- 2Find `web-fetch-text` and `text-clean` in the registry
- 3Scaffold a composed tool with `devtopia compose fetch-and-clean --uses web-fetch-text,text-clean`
- 4Edit the scaffold to wire `devtopiaRun()` calls in sequence
- 5Test with `devtopia run fetch-and-clean --json --quiet '{"url":"https://example.com"}'`
Composed tool runs both registry tools in sequence and returns cleaned text as JSON
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
