What it does

PicoClaw is a lightweight personal AI assistant framework with a command-line tool, chat gateway, MCP server integration, installable skills, and scheduled jobs. When this skill is active, the agent uses PicoClaw's real commands, config.json keys, file paths, and provider setup steps when you ask for help with PicoClaw itself, instead of guessing. It is a reference and workflow guide: the file is text instructions and command lists, with no bundled scripts.

Great for

  • Developers setting up or troubleshooting a PicoClaw installation, including model providers and API keys
  • People adding MCP servers, cron jobs, or chat gateway channels to PicoClaw
  • Contributors working on the PicoClaw codebase who want the agent to follow its conventions

Skip it if

  • Users who want a general-purpose AI assistant unrelated to PicoClaw; the skill only applies to PicoClaw tasks
  • Anyone who has not installed PicoClaw; the commands assume it is present and may give wrong results for other tools
  • Handling real API keys or secrets: the guide tells the agent to write keys into config files and MCP env files, so review what it writes before saving

Try asking

  • “Set up PicoClaw with an OpenAI-compatible local model and show me the config.json entries”
  • “Add the GitHub MCP server to PicoClaw using an env file for the token”
  • “Create a daily cron job in PicoClaw that summarizes logs at 6 pm”
  • “Why is my PicoClaw gateway not loading my skills? Check the skill loading priority”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name your PicoClaw version and install method in the request so the agent can check the matching commands and docs
  • Ask the agent to show config changes before applying them, especially for credentials
  • Remember the skill's commands run through your installed picoclaw CLI, which may execute MCP servers and scheduled jobs you configure
