New agent can't use skill-creator due to permissions
✅Solved
Here's the message from the agent:
ere’s the state of play:
- What I’m aiming to build: a new skills/doc-brown/ skill that spins up two codex-mini personas, runs them through eight rounds of structured exchange (strategy
engineering), and returns a single disciplined plan/analysis grounded in the supplied
problem/context/intent/success vision. The skill directory will include its own prompts, orchestrator, and documentation, and I’ll register it in Skills.md so it’s discoverable like the other tools.
- What’s blocking me right now: I can’t actually inspect the existing skill-creator guidance or create filesystem artifacts because the toolset available in this session lacks the file/exec/read primitives I need. Without those, I can’t make directories, write files, or
follow the skill-template instructions you referenced.
To move forward I need either (a) the ability to run shell commands / read files here, or (b) for you to paste the relevant skill-creator instructions and indicate where I should create the new skill folder, along with any helper templates you expect me to follow. Once
those pieces are in place I can execute the steps above and deliver Doc Brown.

3) Important: the current skill-creator
doc mentions scripts that don’t exist in OpenClaw
The bundled skill-creatorskill-creatorscripts/init_skill.pyscripts/package_skill.pyFor OpenClaw you can just manually create the folder +
SKILL.mdreferences/scripts/assets/If you paste:
-
openclaw --version- and your
tools…I can tell you exactly which setting is currently preventing
read/write/exec
The AI that actually does things. Emails, calendar, home automation - all from your favorite chat app. New shell, ready to help. The lobster way.
