How to install the LightRAG Search 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.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the LightRAG Search Skill with a single command:

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

How to use the LightRAG Search Skill

Once installed, the LightRAG Search 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.

Manual install (advanced)
