Skill Development

Best practices for building accurate, triggerable, and safe DragonClaw skills.

Skill development is the fastest way to expand DragonClaw.

Best practices

• Use clear titles and descriptions

• Describe exact trigger intents

• Include precise API inputs and outputs

• Show concrete tool call examples

• Define output formatting rules

• Declare auth needs explicitly

Safety guidance

• Prefer read-only APIs by default

• Require confirmation for risky actions

• Keep shell usage narrow and well-defined

• Avoid ambiguous triggers that match unrelated prompts

Compatibility

DragonClaw skills use the same SKILL.md format as OpenClaw.

That means many community skills can be reused with little or no change.
