How to install Vector Control

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

  2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
  3. Search for vector-control 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 Vector Control with a single command:

How to use Vector Control

Once installed, Vector Control 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.
