OpenClaw Skill

Teach your agent to use agntdata via a ClawHub skill.

Overview

ClawHub skills are markdown-based instructions that teach your OpenClaw agent how to use external APIs. The agntdata skill gives your agent knowledge of all available endpoints and how to call them.

Installation

Install the skill from ClawHub:

clawhub install agnt-data

This downloads the skill to your OpenClaw skills directory.

Configuration

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export AGNTDATA_API_KEY=agnt_live_your_key_here

Or add it to your .env file:

AGNTDATA_API_KEY=agnt_live_your_key_here

How Skills Work

Unlike plugins that register native tools, skills work by:

1. Teaching — The skill markdown instructs your agent on available APIs
2. Calling — Your agent uses HTTP tools to call the agntdata API
3. Interpreting — The skill helps your agent parse and use responses

This approach is more flexible but requires your agent to have HTTP capabilities.

Skill Contents

The agntdata skill includes:

• API Overview — Available platforms and operations
• Authentication — How to include the API key
• Endpoints — Detailed documentation for each endpoint
• Examples — Request and response examples
• Error Handling — How to handle common errors

Usage Example

With the skill installed, your agent understands agntdata:

User prompt:

“Find information about Stripe on LinkedIn”

Agent response:

I’ll fetch Stripe’s LinkedIn profile using the agntdata API.

[Makes HTTP request to api.agntdata.dev/v1/linkedin/get-company-details?username=stripe]

Stripe has 1.2 million LinkedIn followers. They’re a financial infrastructure company based in San Francisco with about 8,000 employees. They were founded in 2010.

Skill vs Plugin

Feature	Plugin	Skill
Installation	openclaw plugins install	clawhub install
Agent requirements	Plugin-compatible	HTTP tool access
Updates	Manual plugin update	Skill auto-syncs
Customization	Limited	Can edit skill file
Offline	No	Yes (cached)

Use the plugin if you want native tool integration. Use the skill if you want more flexibility or your agent doesn’t support plugins.

Customizing the Skill

Skills are editable markdown files. After installation, find the skill at:

~/.openclaw/skills/agnt-data/skill.md

You can:

• Add custom instructions for your use case
• Remove endpoints you don’t need
• Add examples specific to your domain

Updating the Skill

Update to the latest version:

clawhub update agnt-data

Uninstalling

Remove the skill:

clawhub uninstall agnt-data

Required Agent Capabilities

Your agent needs these capabilities to use the skill:

• HTTP requests — Ability to make GET/POST requests
• JSON parsing — Parse API responses
• Environment variables — Access to AGNTDATA_API_KEY

Most modern agents (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) support these when properly configured.

Troubleshooting

Skill not loading

Ensure the skill is installed:

clawhub list

Agent can't make requests

Verify your agent has HTTP tool access enabled.

Authentication errors

Check that AGNTDATA_API_KEY is set and accessible to your agent.
