Skills

Discord Clawd

A SkillsMP entry for running a Discord-backed OpenClaw session. It is aimed at talking to the active agent rather than searching old Discord messages.

Useful if a client community needs a conversational front door to an already supervised agent.

Control UI E2E

A testing skill for OpenClaw Control UI changes using Vitest and Playwright, including mocked gateway flows, screenshots, and browser-verifiable evidence.

A good reference for insisting on proof from agent-driven product changes before a client sees them.

SkillsMP · Testing · Reliability

OpenClaw nightly release

A release-automation skill for OpenClaw nightlies that uses isolated branches, release CI, retained branches, and a forward-port path back to main.

Useful as a checklist for agent-maintained releases where experiments should not destabilize the working branch.

Memory wiki maintainer

A memory-maintenance skill for OpenClaw that keeps its knowledge base in predictable pages, tracks managed sections, and ties changes back to evidence.

Worth borrowing if your agent memory needs a reviewable source of truth rather than an opaque context pile.

MCPs

Business Contact Finder

A newly released MCP that checks a business website for a contact route and tests whether that route works. It is directly relevant to prospect enrichment, not generic web search.

Run it against a small lead batch and compare valid-contact yield with your current enrichment chain.

ABMeter

ABMeter exposes A/B experiment management through an assistant, with SDK support across Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, React Native, and Node.

It could give agents a disciplined way to propose and record landing-page or outreach tests.

Project Desk

Project Desk is a newly registered work tracker intended for people directing AI across several projects. The agent can update tasks, context, and progress as work moves.

A candidate for the gap between agent execution logs and the operator view of what is actually moving.

Adtest MCP

Adtest scores image, video, and text ads across 13 dimensions before spend. It is designed for assistant-driven review rather than autonomous ad buying.

Use it as a preflight opinion in a creative workflow, then compare its calls with real campaign results.

LLMs can acquire social bias while exploring

A new paper on HN reports that adaptive exploration can produce novel social biases in language models. Agent teams using self-directed exploration need evaluation checks beyond task success.
