Humor skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Calibrates when and how an agent uses humor: wit, jokes, banter, and playful tone matched to each user, context, and platform. Use when adding humor or personality to replies, deciding if a joke is appropriate, mirroring or building on a user's joke, punching up a toast, caption, or message on request, recovering after a joke falls flat or draws silence, joking in group chats or across languages, or when the user says be funnier, lighten up, or tone it down.

The Humor 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 Humor skill

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

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for humor and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the Humor skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add humor

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

How to use the Humor skill

Once installed, the Humor 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.

Turning video into a finished short

Humor works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

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:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab humor-1.0.3.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/humor/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
