CSS skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Writes and debugs CSS: flexbox and grid layout, z-index and stacking, responsive breakpoints, theming, and render performance. Use when a layout breaks or overflows, z-index does nothing, the page scrolls sideways, `position: sticky` won't stick, text won't truncate, styles lose the cascade or need `!important`, content jumps while loading (CLS), transitions stutter, fonts flash, a modal or dropdown sits behind other content, form controls need restyling, a table needs sticky headers, printing comes out wrong, or a style works in Chrome but not Safari. Also for starting a stylesheet from scratch (reset and base layer), centering, container queries, fluid type with clamp(), design tokens and dark mode, RTL and logical properties, and modernizing old stylesheets with `:has()`, `@layer`, and nesting. Not for visual design taste — palettes, spacing scales, typeface choice.

The CSS skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the CSS skill

This pulls css from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/css/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the CSS skill

Once installed, the CSS 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.
