vmware-pilot skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Use this skill whenever the user wants to design, execute, or manage complex multi-step VMware workflows with human approval gates and explicit, best-effort rollback. Pilot is the orchestration brain — it breaks a goal into steps across companion VMware skills (aiops, monitor, nsx, nsx-security, aria, vks, storage, avi), adds approval gates before destructive operations, and records per-step undo actions that run only when rollback is explicitly called, never automatically. Always use vmware-pilot for: "clone and test before applying to production", "VMware incident response with checkpoints", "investigate alert root cause", "VMware rolling restart with health checks", "baseline capture and drift detection", "rolling maintenance with AVI drain", or any VMware workflow needing approval gates or rollback. 15 built-in templates + custom YAML + AI-designed workflows. Do NOT use for single-step work — use vmware-aiops for one VM action, vmware-monitor for read-only queries, vmware-avi for load balancer queries.

The vmware-pilot 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.
