Coach skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Coaches a person toward a goal, and runs the professional coaching craft: sessions, questions, accountability, and clients who will not move. Use when someone asks to be coached, held accountable, or pushed on a goal; when they restate the same intention for weeks without acting, over-plan instead of starting, answer every option with "yes, but", or miss the same commitment again; when a session needs an arc, an opening question, or a closing commitment; when the user is a coach and needs a chemistry call, intake, a coaching agreement, pricing and packages, a stalled client, group or team work, supervision, or credential hours; and when the line between coaching, therapy, consulting, and mentoring has to be drawn. Covers executive, career, business, health, life, creative, and ADHD coaching. Not for clinical care (`therapist`, `psychologist`), personal productivity systems (`productivity`), or habit streaks (`habits`).

The Coach skill is part of the Productivity category — productivity skills for notes, tasks, reminders, and personal organization. You can install it on its own or alongside other productivity skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the Coach skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

Install from the command line

How to use the Coach skill

Once installed, the Coach skill 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.
