openclaw-superpowers

Overview

OpenClaw-Superpowers is a comprehensive skill library designed to enhance OpenClaw, a persistent AI agent runtime. It provides 56 ready-to-use skills that transform basic AI agents into autonomous systems capable of 24/7 operation. The skills include structured thinking methodologies, security guardrails against prompt injection, persistent memory management with DAG-based compaction, cron scheduling for routine tasks, and self-recovery mechanisms. Notably, the library includes a unique self-modifying capability where agents can create new skills during conversation, allowing them to continuously improve their behavior based on user interactions.

FAQ

Does installing these skills guarantee OpenClaw will use them?

No. Skills are exposed as available capabilities, and the model decides whether to read and apply them. For best results, put mandatory rules in AGENTS.md rather than SOUL.md.

How does the self-modifying capability work?

The agent can use the 'create-skill' command during conversation to write new SKILL.md files, immediately making those behaviors permanent without needing a restart.
