Coding-agent install and update
✅Solved
Coding-agent is a bundled skill into openclaw. What is the best way to install it and update it?
Solution
coding-agent“Install” (i.e. make the skill show up / become eligible)
That skill is gated and only loads if you have at least one of these binaries on yourPATHclaudecodexopencodepiAfter installing one of them, restart the gateway (or start a new session) so the skills list is re-snapshotted.
Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/skills (see “Gating (load-time filters)” + “Session snapshot”)
Update
Best/default: update OpenClaw itself — bundled skills update with the OpenClaw version.If you want to patch/pin just the skill without changing OpenClaw: copy/override it in one of the higher-precedence folders:
-
~/.openclaw/skills/coding-agent-
<workspace>/skills/coding-agentDocs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/skills (see “Locations and precedence”)
