How to install Philosophy

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

How to use Philosophy

Once installed, Philosophy 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)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab philosophy-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/philosophy/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
