Variflight

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).

Variflight 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 Variflight

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

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for variflight 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 Variflight with a single command:

openclaw skills add variflight

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 Variflight

Once installed, Variflight 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 variflight-1.0.1.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/variflight/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
