What this skill does

The MLX Swift LM Expert skill is part of the MCP & Tools category — MCP and tooling skills that expose extra tools to your agent. You can install it on its own or alongside other mcp & tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the MLX Swift LM Expert 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 mlx-swift-lm 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 MLX Swift LM Expert skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add mlx-swift-lm

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

How to use the MLX Swift LM Expert skill

Once installed, the MLX Swift LM Expert 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 images into video

MLX Swift LM Expert 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:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab mlx-swift-lm-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/mlx-swift-lm/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
