openclaw-management

When the user wants to interact with OpenClaw or delegate tasks, use the OpenClaw MCP tools.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Wants to chat with OpenClaw ("Ask Claw to...", "Tell my assistant...")
• Delegates tasks ("Have OpenClaw research...", "Let Claw handle...")
• Checks status ("Is OpenClaw running?")
• Manages tasks ("Check task progress", "Cancel that task")

Tools Reference

Task	Tool
Chat (sync)	openclaw_chat
Chat (async)	openclaw_chat_async
Task status	openclaw_task_status
List tasks	openclaw_task_list
Cancel task	openclaw_task_cancel

Sync vs Async

Use sync (openclaw_chat):

• Quick questions
• Simple commands
• When you need immediate response

Use async (openclaw_chat_async):

• Research tasks
• Long-running operations
• Tasks that might timeout

Example Workflows

Quick question:

openclaw_chat message="What's the weather?"

Long task:

openclaw_chat_async message="Research competitors and write a report"
→ { task_id: "task_abc123" }

openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "running" }

# ... poll until complete ...

openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "completed", result: "..." }
