How to install the TRMNL Display skill

2. Open the in-app Skills panel.

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

How to use the TRMNL Display skill

Once installed, the TRMNL Display 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.
