How OpenClaw Skills Work

OpenClaw uses a modular skills system. Skills are plugins that extend what your AI agent can do, from web search to image generation to social media posting. The AdaptlyPost skill connects your agent directly to your AdaptlyPost account, so you can say "Post this to LinkedIn and Instagram" and it just works.

Here's how to connect everything. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

Step 1: Log in to AdaptlyPost

Go to adaptlypost.com and log in to your account. If you don't have one yet, sign up, it only takes a minute.
