适用于 OpenClaw v2026.2 | 本文假设你熟悉基本 Markdown 和命令行,想创建自定义技能。
TL;DR: 创建 Skill 只需一个 SKILL.md 文件。核心字段:name、version、triggers(触发词)、tools(工具列表)。放在 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/<name>/SKILL.md。触发词要具体避免冲突。发布到 ClawHub:openclaw skill publish <name>。包含安全扫描和权限控制。

## Features
- **Current Weather**: Get real-time weather conditions
- **Forecast**: 5-day weather forecast
- **Multi-language**: Support for city names in multiple languages
- **Smart Suggestions**: Clothing and activity recommendations
## Setup
### 1. Get API Key
1. Visit [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/api)
2. Sign up for a free account
3. Generate an API key
### 2. Configure the Skill
Set the environment variable:
\`\`\`bash
export OPENWEATHER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
\`\`\`
Or add to your OpenClaw config:
\`\`\`json
{
"skills": {
"weather-api": {
"apiKey": "your-api-key-here",
"units": "metric",
"lang": "zh_cn"
}
}
}
\`\`\`
## Usage Examples
### Current Weather
User: "北京今天天气怎么样"
User: "What's the weather in Tokyo"
User: "Check weather for Shanghai"
Action:
1. Parse city name from user message
2. Call weather_current tool with city parameter
3. Format and return weather information
### Weather Forecast
User: "明天会下雨吗"
User: "3天天气预报 for New York"
User: "周末天气怎么样"
Action:
1. Parse city name and days from user message
2. Call weather_forecast tool
3. Format forecast data into readable summary
### Smart Suggestions
User: "今天需要带伞吗"
User: "穿什么衣服合适"
User: "适合户外运动吗"
Action:
1. Get current weather
2. Analyze conditions (rain, temperature, UV)
3. Provide practical suggestions
## Tools
### weather_current
Get current weather for a city.
**Parameters:**
- `city` (string, required): City name, can be in any language
- `units` (string, optional): "metric", "imperial", or "kelvin". Default: "metric"
- `lang` (string, optional): Language code. Default: "zh_cn"
**Returns:**
\`\`\`json
{
"city": "Beijing",
"country": "CN",
"temperature": 25,
"feels_like": 27,
"humidity": 65,
"wind_speed": 12,
"condition": "Partly cloudy",
"icon": "02d",
"suggestion": "Light jacket recommended, no rain expected"
}
\`\`\`
### weather_forecast
Get weather forecast for up to 5 days.
**Parameters:**
- `city` (string, required): City name
- `days` (number, optional): Number of days (1-5). Default: 3
- `units` (string, optional): Temperature units
**Returns:**
\`\`\`json
{
"city": "Beijing",
"forecast": [
{
"date": "2026-02-27",
"temp_high": 28,
"temp_low": 18,
"condition": "Sunny",
"rain_chance": 0
},
...
]
}
\`\`\`
## Configuration Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `apiKey` | string | - | OpenWeatherMap API key |
| `units` | string | "metric" | Temperature units |
| `lang` | string | "zh_cn" | Language for descriptions |
| `cache_ttl` | number | 600 | Cache duration in seconds |
## Error Handling
The skill handles common errors:
- **City not found**: Suggests similar city names
- **API key invalid**: Prompts user to check configuration
- **Rate limit**: Queues request and retries
- **Network error**: Falls back to cached data if available
## Notes
- Free tier allows 1000 requests/day
- City names support Chinese: "北京", "上海", "广州"
- Results are cached for 10 minutes by default
- Consider upgrading to paid tier for more frequent updates
工具实现(可选)
如果你的技能需要执行具体操作,可以添加工具实现。
简单方式:使用内置工具
OpenClaw 内置了 web_search 和 read 工具,可以直接在 SKILL.md 中描述如何使用:
## Implementation Notes
To get weather data:
1. Use `web_search` tool to find weather API
2. Use `read` tool to fetch JSON response
3. Parse and format the data
Example search query: "weather API Beijing current temperature"
高级方式:自定义工具脚本
创建 src/index.js:
// src/index.js
const axios = require('axios');
const OPENWEATHER_BASE_URL = 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5';
async function weather_current({ city, units = 'metric', lang = 'zh_cn' }, config) {
const apiKey = config.apiKey || process.env.OPENWEATHER_API_KEY;
if (!apiKey) {
throw new Error('OpenWeatherMap API key not configured');
}
try {
const response = await axios.get(`${OPENWEATHER_BASE_URL}/weather`, {
params: {
q: city,
appid: apiKey,
units,
lang
}
});
const data = response.data;
// Generate suggestion based on conditions
let suggestion = '';
if (data.rain || data.weather[0].main === 'Rain') {
suggestion = 'Bring an umbrella, rain expected';
} else if (data.main.temp < 15) {
suggestion = 'Wear warm clothing, temperature is low';
} else if (data.main.temp > 30) {
suggestion = 'Stay hydrated, high temperature';
} else {
suggestion = 'Pleasant weather, enjoy your day';
}
return {
city: data.name,
country: data.sys.country,
temperature: data.main.temp,
feels_like: data.main.feels_like,
humidity: data.main.humidity,
wind_speed: data.wind.speed,

};
} catch (error) {

const apiKey = config.apiKey || process.env.OPENWEATHER_API_KEY;
if (!apiKey) {
throw new Error('OpenWeatherMap API key not configured');
}
try {
const response = await axios.get(`${OPENWEATHER_BASE_URL}/forecast`, {
params: {
q: city,
appid: apiKey,
units,
cnt: days * 8 // 8 forecasts per day (every 3 hours)
}
});
const data = response.data;
// Group by day and get daily summary
const dailyForecasts = {};
data.list.forEach(item => {
const date = item.dt_txt.split(' ')[0];
if (!dailyForecasts[date]) {
dailyForecasts[date] = {
temp_high: item.main.temp_max,
temp_low: item.main.temp_min,
conditions: [item.weather[0].main],
rain_chance: item.pop * 100
};
} else {
dailyForecasts[date].temp_high = Math.max(dailyForecasts[date].temp_high, item.main.temp_max);
dailyForecasts[date].temp_low = Math.min(dailyForecasts[date].temp_low, item.main.temp_min);
if (!dailyForecasts[date].conditions.includes(item.weather[0].main)) {
dailyForecasts[date].conditions.push(item.weather[0].main);
}
dailyForecasts[date].rain_chance = Math.max(dailyForecasts[date].rain_chance, item.pop * 100);
}
});
return {
city: data.city.name,
forecast: Object.entries(dailyForecasts)
.slice(0, days)
.map(([date, info]) => ({
date,
temp_high: Math.round(info.temp_high),
temp_low: Math.round(info.temp_low),
condition: info.conditions.join('/'),
rain_chance: Math.round(info.rain_chance)
}))
};
} catch (error) {
if (error.response?.status === 404) {
throw new Error(`City "${city}" not found. Please check the spelling.`);
}
throw error;

- Multi-language city support
- Smart clothing suggestions
## Installation
\`\`\`bash
openclaw skill install weather-api
\`\`\`
## Configuration

\`\`\`
Or in OpenClaw config:
\`\`\`json
{
"skills": {
"weather-api": {
"apiKey": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
\`\`\`
## Usage
Just ask about the weather:
- "北京今天天气怎么样"
- "What's the weather in Tokyo"

## License
MIT
高级技巧
条件触发
根据上下文决定是否触发:
## Advanced Triggers
This skill is triggered when:
1. User mentions weather-related keywords
2. User asks about temperature or conditions
3. User needs outdoor activity suggestions
Not triggered when:
- Weather is mentioned metaphorically ("I'm under the weather")
- User is asking about CPU temperature or other technical metrics
上下文记忆
在 SKILL.md 中添加上下文处理:
## Context Handling
When user asks "What about tomorrow?" after a weather query:
1. Check previous context for city name
2. Use the same city for forecast query
When user asks "And in Shanghai?" after querying another city:
1. Parse the new city name
2. Compare weather between both cities
链式技能
与其他技能协作:
## Skill Integration
This skill works well with:
- **calendar**: Suggest events based on weather
- **travel**: Provide weather for travel destinations
- **clothing**: Recommend outfits based on temperature
Example workflow:
User: "Planning a trip to Tokyo next week"
1. Travel skill: Parse destination and dates
2. Weather skill: Get Tokyo forecast
3. Calendar skill: Check existing events
4. Combined response: Trip summary with weather
错误恢复
优雅处理错误:
## Error Recovery
When API fails:
1. Check cache for recent data
2. Inform user about the issue
3. Offer alternatives:
- "I couldn't get live weather data. Want me to try again?"
- "The weather service is temporarily unavailable. Would you like a general forecast?"
When city not found:
1. Suggest similar city names
2. Ask for clarification
3. Use geolocation if available
最佳实践
文档规范
| 要求 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 描述清晰 | 一句话说明技能功能 |
| 示例充分 | 覆盖主要使用场景 |
| 配置说明 | 详细说明配置步骤 |

安全考虑
## Security Notes
- Never hardcode API keys in SKILL.md
- Use environment variables or config files
- Validate and sanitize user input
- Rate limit API calls
- Log errors without exposing sensitive data
性能优化
## Performance Tips
- Cache API responses (10-minute default)
- Use async operations for multiple requests
- Minimize tool calls by batching
- Use compressed responses when available
