What this skill does
Runs the delivery side of software: CI/CD pipelines, release and rollback strategy, environments, reliability and on-call. Use when designing or fixing a pipeline, when builds are slow, flaky, or green locally and red in CI; when planning a deploy — rolling, blue-green, canary, feature flags — or rolling a release back; when promoting an artifact to production, standing up preview environments, or chasing drift; when a schema change, backfill, or DNS cutover must ship without downtime; when pipeline secrets, OIDC, or deploy permissions need hardening; when alerts are noisy, an SLO or error budget is missing, or burn-rate paging is wrong; for on-call, severities, postmortems, runbooks, and DORA metrics; when infrastructure drifts from code, or backups were never restored. Not for Kubernetes manifests (`k8s`), image builds (`docker`), HCL mechanics (`terraform`), one CI product's workflow-file dialect (`github-actions`, `gitlab`, `ci-cd`), or a single app's ship checklist (`deploy`).
DevOps 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 DevOps
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
devopsand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add DevOps with a single command:
openclaw skills add devops
This pulls devops from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/devops/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use DevOps
Once installed, DevOps 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.
Turning images into video
DevOps works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
Manual install (advanced)
If you prefer manual installation:
- Click the Download .zip button above to grab
devops-1.0.2.zipdirectly from our S3 mirror. - Unzip into
~/.openclaw/skills/devops/(create the directory if it does not exist). - Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
