Variflight skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Query flight information, train tickets, and travel data using Variflight (飞常准) HTTP API. Use when the user needs to (1) search flights by route or flight number, (2) check flight status and punctuality, (3) find train tickets, (4) get airport weather forecasts, (5) check flight prices, (6) plan multi-modal trips (flight+train), or (7) get flight comfort metrics (happiness index).

The Variflight skill is part of the Research & Knowledge category — research and knowledge skills that gather, search, and summarize information. You can install it on its own or alongside other research & knowledge skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the Variflight skill

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

2. Open the in-app Skills panel.

Install from the command line

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

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

How to use the Variflight skill

Once installed, the Variflight 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.
