Skills

Skills are markdown-defined guidance modules that agents load for domain-specific rules, workflows, and operating context.

Unlike plugins, skills do not execute code. They give agents shared instructions for how to use tools and interpret a problem domain.

Octo currently publishes 3 skills in the public bundle.

Skills are grouped by whether their source is open source or private to Octo. Host-specific commands are omitted from the individual pages — they run on the Octo host and reference private paths.

📦 Open Source

Skills whose source lives in a public OpenClaw repo — reusable across installs.

	Skill	Used by	Description	Source
🔍	Agent Review	root	Weekly self-improvement analysis — scan session transcripts, tool failures, cron errors, and memory for patterns; file GitHub issues for recurring findings; deliver prioritized suggestions to Jeff via Discord DM.	GitHub ↗
📊	Usage Report	root	Generate the weekly LLM API usage and cost report, render to PDF, post to Discord, and commit.	GitHub ↗

🔒 Private (octo)
