Netlify skill for OpenClaw
What this skill does
Netlify API integration with managed OAuth. View sites, deploys, builds, DNS zones, and environment variables. Use this skill when users want to view Netlify site information, check deploy status, or review build logs. Write operations (creating sites, triggering builds, modifying DNS or env vars) require explicit user approval with specific resource identifiers. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a Netlify connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a Netlify action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with Netlify examples; they add no Netlify capability - Netlify is not an event source, a trigger cannot read Netlify data, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
The Netlify skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
