summary: "macOS Skills settings UI and gateway-backed status"
|
|
read_when:
|
|
- Updating the macOS Skills settings UI
|
|
- Changing skills gating or install behavior
|
|
title: "Skills (macOS)"
|

|
|
The macOS app surfaces OpenClaw skills via the gateway; it does not parse skills locally.
|
|
|
|
## Data source
|
|
|
|
- `skills.status` (gateway) returns all skills plus eligibility and missing requirements
|
|
(including allowlist blocks for bundled skills).
|
|
- Requirements are derived from `metadata.openclaw.requires` in each `SKILL.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Install actions
|
|
|
|
- `metadata.openclaw.install` defines install options (brew/node/go/uv).
|
|
- The app calls `skills.install` to run installers on the gateway host.
|
|
- Operator-owned `security.installPolicy` can block gateway-backed skill
|
|
installs before installer metadata runs. Install-time built-in dangerous-code
|
|
blocking is not part of the skill install flow.
|
|
- If every install option is `download`, the gateway surfaces all download
|
|
choices.
|
|
- Otherwise, the gateway picks one preferred installer using the current
|
|
install preferences and host binaries: Homebrew first when
|
|
`skills.install.preferBrew` is enabled and `brew` exists, then `uv`, then the
|
|
configured node manager from `skills.install.nodeManager`, then later
|
|
fallbacks like `go` or `download`.
|
|
- Node install labels reflect the configured node manager, including `yarn`.
|
|
|
|
## Env/API keys
|
|
|
|
- The app stores keys in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `skills.entries.<skillKey>`.
|
|
- `skills.update` patches `enabled`, `apiKey`, and `env`.
|
|
|
|
## Remote mode
|
|
|
|
- Install + config updates happen on the gateway host (not the local Mac).
