How to install Self Evolve

- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
self-evolve-agentand 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 Self Evolve with a single command:
openclaw skills add self-evolve-agent
This pulls self-evolve-agent from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/self-evolve-agent/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Self Evolve
Once installed, Self Evolve 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)

self-evolve-agent-3.0.0.zipdirectly from our S3 mirror. - Unzip into
