OpenClaw 2.0 — skills get a real lifecycle

Install once, then let your Claw research on its own

OpenClaw 2.0 pulls skill creation, validation, discovery, installation, and calling into one connected path, with Skill Workshop keeping the proposals, checks, and decisions on record. That is the right home for Felo skills: live web answers, X signals, decks, and transcripts that your assistant can reach from the chat app it already lives in.

What 2.0 changed

The skill lifecycle, before and after

OpenClaw 2.0's release notes describe skills as following one connected path from creation to invocation, with Skill Workshop holding the history. Here is what that means when you install a third-party skill like Felo's.

Five Felo skills for a chat-first assistant

OpenClaw meets you where you already talk — Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, or the desktop app. These skills are chosen for what people actually ask a personal assistant to do there.

Felo Search

Answers for the group chat
ResearchSources

Returns dated results with sources, so a reply your assistant posts into a group can carry the link that backs it.

Example askSearch for tonight's train options from Tokyo to Osaka and send the times with sources to this chat.
clawhub install felo-search
Open the Felo Search page →

Felo X Search

X and Twitter signals
SignalsSocial

When the question is what people are saying right now, this reaches the posts, users, and replies instead of summarizing a news article about them.

Example askWhat are developers saying about the new release today? Pull the top posts and replies.
clawhub install felo-x-search
Open the Felo X Search page →

Felo Slides

Decks delivered to chat
OutputDeck

A file in the conversation beats a file in a folder. Generate the deck, then let OpenClaw's own channel tools share it under your approval rules.

Example askTurn yesterday's research thread into a ten-slide summary deck I can send to the team.
clawhub install felo-slides
Open the Felo Slides page →

Felo SuperAgent

Logos and product images
ImagesBrand

Image generation is exactly the kind of job you want behind OpenClaw's approval gate: SuperAgent drafts the logo or the product image, and you decide what leaves the machine.

Example askGenerate three logo options for the side project and send them here for review.
clawhub install felo-superagent
Open the Felo SuperAgent page →
VideoTranscript

Ask about a video and get the transcript, which the assistant can then summarize, quote, or turn into a deck.

Example askPull the transcript of this talk and list the three claims that matter for our roadmap.

Adoption path

How OpenClaw users add Felo skills

OpenClaw 2.0 keeps a record of what a skill proposed, what was checked, and who approved it, so the sequence starts small and stays reviewable.

Install from ClawHub

One command per skill, and the session keeps its own transcript.

  • clawhub install felo-search
  • Sessions and transcripts stay in SQLite
  • Keep the approval rules you already set

Ask in the chat you already use

The assistant answers where the team already talks, with the link that backs it.

  • Source links in a group reply
  • X signals for a topic you are watching
  • Transcripts when someone posts a video

Put it on a schedule with a gate

Recurring jobs are the point of a personal assistant, as long as a person still approves the output.

  • A morning brief that arrives before you ask
  • Drafts that wait for your yes
  • Decks delivered as files in the thread
Install

From ClawHub to a working reply

Two official routes: the installer script handles the full setup, and the ClawHub CLI fits a registry-first workflow. Both end with the skill available to your agent.

  1. 01

    Install OpenClaw 2.0 and connect a channel

    Follow the official install guide for your platform, then pair the chat app you want the assistant to live in. Skills are only useful once there is a delivery surface.

    Reference
    # https://docs.openclaw.ai/install
    # pairing: docs.openclaw.ai/channels
  2. 02

    Install the Felo skills

    The Felo installer script copies the bundles OpenClaw expects; the ClawHub command installs from the registry when it is already configured on your machine.

    Terminal
    # Official OpenClaw installer
    bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Felo-Inc/felo-skills/main/scripts/openclaw-install.sh)
    
    # Official ClawHub install
    clawhub install felo-search
  3. 03

    Review the skill before you enable it

    OpenClaw 2.0's Skill Workshop is the place to see what a skill proposes and what check ran before it was applied. Use it as your record.

    Control UI
    Control UI → Skills / Skill Workshop
      → review the applied skill
      → enable it for the agents that should use it
  4. 04

    Verify from the chat you actually use

    Ask a question that requires current information and check that the answer arrives with sources attached.

    Message your Claw
    Search for the current status of the rail strike and reply here with two sources.
In practice

Three recurring jobs for an OpenClaw 2.0 assistant

These lean on 2.0's scheduling, memory, and approval model rather than treating the assistant as a chatbot.

01

A morning brief that arrives before you ask

You want a short digest in Telegram at 7:30: weather, a market signal, and anything that changed at three competitors.

PromptEvery weekday at 7:30, research these three competitors, flag only what changed, and post the brief here.
What lands back

A scheduled message that references previous runs instead of repeating them, with sources on every change.

Felo SearchFelo X Search
02

X monitoring with a human gate

The assistant should watch a topic on X, but nothing should be published under your name without approval.

PromptWatch posts about our launch this week, summarize the recurring complaints daily, and draft replies for my approval.
What lands back

A daily summary plus drafts that sit behind an approval before anything reaches the channel.

Felo X Search
03

Research that ends in a file, not a paragraph

A colleague asks in Slack for the comparison you researched last week, and they want slides for a meeting.

PromptTurn the vendor comparison in my LiveDoc into a deck and post it in this thread.
What lands back

A deck generated from stored research and shared through the channel with an approval step.

Felo SlidesFelo Search
Guardrails

Use 2.0's controls, don't work around them

OpenClaw 2.0 tightened approvals, credentials, and memory handling. Keep those defaults in place when you add third-party skills.

Keep approvals attached to the request

2.0 binds an approval to the exact request, command, session, and person. Skills that send messages or move files should route through that gate, not around it.

Let credentials stay out of model-visible text

Protected credentials can reach supported destinations without entering the transcript. Store the Felo key in the CLI config and reference it by name.

Check what a skill wants before enabling it

Skill Workshop keeps the proposal and check history. Read it once, then decide per agent rather than enabling globally.

Review memory the same way you review files

Memory can now be searched, inspected, imported, and removed. If a research thread should not become long-term context, keep it in a document instead.

Questions

OpenClaw 2.0 skill questions, answered

Do the existing Felo OpenClaw skills still work after 2.0?
Yes. The bundles and the ClawHub install path are unchanged; 2.0 adds lifecycle and approval tooling around them. If you installed through ClawHub before, update in place.
Where do I install skills in OpenClaw 2.0?
Use the ClawHub CLI or the official Felo installer script, then review and enable the skill through the Control UI. Admins can also browse, enable, disable, and remove plugins from that same surface.
Can skills run on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled work is unified across the agent, Control UI, CLI, docs, and native apps in 2.0, so a research skill can run as a repeating brief. Keep a manual approval on anything that publishes.
Does Felo publish on ClawHub?
Yes. Felo maintains a ClawHub publisher page and keeps the skill sources in a public GitHub repository, so you can compare the installed bundle with the source.
What does a Felo skill need to run?
The Felo CLI with an API key in ~/.felo/config.json. The assistant calls the skill, the skill calls the CLI, and the key never needs to be pasted into a chat.
Is 2.0 required for Felo skills?
No. The skills install on current OpenClaw releases. 2.0 simply makes the install, review, and approval path visible in one place, which is why this page recommends it.

Give your assistant a research habit

Install one skill through ClawHub, ask a question that needs current information, and see whether the answer is worth forwarding.

Felo AI is an independent skill publisher. OpenClaw is an OpenClaw Foundation project.

Beyond ready-made skills

One API key. A full agent toolkit.

Start with a skill, then compose the exact models, live data, knowledge, and output tools your OpenClaw 2.0 workflow needs — the same key every Felo skill already uses.
