What this skill does

Improve reusable agent workflows with reflective experiments, value checks, and local pattern memory.

How to install the Self-Evolving skill

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

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the Self-Evolving skill with a single command:

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

How to use the Self-Evolving skill

Once installed, the Self-Evolving 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.
