Add Work Skills

By the end of this page, your agent will have access to your email, calendar, and notes — and you'll understand how to add any skill from ClawHub.

Time: ~20 minutes

Skills vs tools

A reminder on terminology:

Tools (web_fetch, read, exec) are built in and deal with general-purpose tasks
Skills are purpose-built integrations — Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Linear, etc. — that give your agent structured access to a specific service

Skills are maintained separately and installed from ClawHub or configured directly.

Config:

{
  "skills": {
    "gmail": {
      "enabled": true,
      "maxEmails": 20,
      "includeRead": false
    }
  }
}

Authenticate:

openclaw skills auth gmail

Browser will open for Google OAuth. Authorize it. Your token is stored locally at ~/.openclaw/tokens/gmail.json.

What your agent can now do:

Config:

{
  "skills": {
    "google_calendar": {
      "enabled": true,
      "calendarId": "primary",
      "lookAheadDays": 7
    }
  }
}

Authenticate:

openclaw skills auth google_calendar

Same OAuth flow as Gmail. Both use the same Google account — you'll only need to authorize once if you do them together.

What your agent can now do:

Notion requires creating an integration in your workspace.

1. Create a Notion integration:

Go to notion.so/my-integrations → click New integration → name it "OpenClaw" → copy the Internal Integration Token.

2. Share your pages with the integration:

In each Notion page you want the agent to access: click ... menu → Connections → add your integration.

3. Config:

{
  "skills": {
    "notion": {
      "enabled": true,
      "token": "secret_YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN_HERE"
    }
  }
}

What your agent can now do:

ClawHub is the community skill directory. Skills are available for:

Each skill page shows the config format and what permissions it needs.

Your work hub is done. Your agent:

Lives in Slack, responds to DMs and mentions
Runs morning meeting prep, email triage, EOD review, and weekly digest automatically
Has access to Gmail, Calendar, and Notion

You have a real second brain running on your machine.
