English skill for OpenClaw
What this skill does
Writes and corrects English that reads like a native wrote it — any variety, any register. Use when text sounds stiff, robotic, translated, or AI-generated; when a sentence is grammatically fine but "sounds wrong"; when choosing between US, UK, Australian, Canadian, Irish or Indian spelling, vocabulary and punctuation, or when a document mixes them; when a first language keeps leaking through — articles, prepositions, tense, false friends, word order; when formality must be calibrated for an email, a client, or a meeting; when idioms, phrasal verbs, slang or collocations land wrong or sound dated; when commas, hyphens, capitalization, quotes, dates or numbers need a house rule; when confusable words, jargon or hedging blur the meaning; and for pronunciation, small talk, and improving on purpose. Not for grammar-only fixes (`grammar`), translation (`translate`), IELTS or TOEFL prep (`ielts`, `toefl`), or drafting in your own voice (`writing`).
The English skill is part of the Messaging & Channels category — messaging and channel skills that connect your agent to chat platforms. You can install it on its own or alongside other messaging & channels skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install the English skill
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

Install from the command line

This pulls english from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/english/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use the English skill
Once installed, the English 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.
Putting audio in front of an audience
English works with audio. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — pairs audio with footage or generated visuals, burns synced captions, and exports a finished short.
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.
