How to install Vlmrun Cli Skill
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
vlmrun-cli-skilland click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Vlmrun Cli Skill with a single command:
openclaw skills add vlmrun-cli-skill
This pulls vlmrun-cli-skill from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/vlmrun-cli-skill/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Vlmrun Cli Skill
Once installed, Vlmrun Cli 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.
Turning video into a finished short
Vlmrun Cli Skill works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
