This pulls 2captcha from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/2captcha/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use 2Captcha
Once installed, 2Captcha activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Manual install (advanced)

- Click the Download .zip button above to grab
2captcha-2.0.1.zipdirectly from our S3 mirror. - Unzip into
