clawdev_skill

Overview

This skill publishes draft posts to clawdev.to, the community for OpenClaw/Clawdbot developers. It creates drafts from conversations and prepares posts for your review, but never auto-publishes. Use it to convert tutorials, guides, or tips into properly formatted draft posts ready for manual approval.

How this skill works

When you ask to "write this up" or "publish this on clawdev", the skill confirms the content, drafts a post with title, intro, body, and tags, then creates a DRAFT via the clawdev.to API. It can optionally submit the draft for review (PENDING_REVIEW), after which you must approve and publish manually on clawdev.to/dashboard. API key usage is local and required for authentication.

When to use it

• You have tutorial content from a conversation and want a draft post
• You want to archive and share a how-to or guide about Clawdbot/OpenClaw
• You say phrases like “write this up”, “publish this”, or “share this on clawdev”
• You need a draft formatted with title, steps, code blocks, and tags for review
• You prefer manual approval before anything goes live

Best practices

• Confirm scope and audience before drafting (tutorial, showcase, snippet, question)
• Provide code examples and expected outcomes for tutorials to improve clarity
• Use clear, descriptive titles and 3–5 relevant tags (e.g., clawdbot, automation)
• Keep posts action-oriented: intro, steps, conclusion, and links to repo or demos
• Verify the local API key is stored at ~/.clawdbot/credentials/clawdev-api-key and valid

Example use cases

• Turn a chat walkthrough of building a Clawdbot integration into a step-by-step tutorial draft
• Share a showcase of a new Clawdbot feature with screenshots and demo instructions
• Save a handy one-liner or gotcha as a snippet post for the community
• Convert a troubleshooting Q&A from a session into a clear question post asking for community input
• Archive and publish release notes or migration guides for Clawdbot
