Stdio Skill OpenClaw Skill - ClawHub

Do you want your AI agent to automate Stdio Skill workflows? This free skill from ClawHub helps with cli utilities tasks without building custom tools from scratch.

What this skill does

Stdin/stdout file inbox/outbox bridge for passing files to/from Clawdbot using an MCP stdio server. Use when you want a simple filesystem-backed dropbox: accept files into an inbox, move to tmp for processing, and emit deliverables to an outbox (or a specified path).

Install

npx clawhub@latest install stdio-skill

stdio-skillStdin/stdout file inbox/outbox bridge for passing files to/from Clawdbot using an MCP stdio server. Use when you want a simple filesystem-backed dropbox: accept files into an inbox, move to tmp for processing, and emit deliverables to an outbox (or a specified path).

stdio-skill

Implement and use a local MCP stdio server that provides a simple inbox/outbox workflow backed by directories on disk.

Paths (workspace-relative):

  • stdio/inbox/ — user drops inputs here
  • stdio/tmp/ — scratch area (move/copy inputs here for processing)
  • stdio/outbox/ — put deliverables here for pickup

Start the MCP server (via mcporter)

This repo config should include an MCP server named stdio-skill.

  • List tools:
    • mcporter list stdio-skill --schema --timeout 120000 --json

Tooling model

Prefer:

  1. stdio-skill.stdio_list to see what’s waiting.
  2. stdio-skill.stdio_read (base64) to pull file contents.
  3. stdio-skill.stdio_move to move an item to tmp once you’ve claimed it.
  4. Write outputs with stdio-skill.stdio_write (base64) into outbox unless the user provided an explicit destination path.

No deprecated aliases: use the stdio_* tools only.

Notes

  • This skill is intentionally dumb/simple: it does not interpret file formats.
  • It is safe-by-default: operations are restricted to the three directories above.
  • For large files: prefer passing by path + moving files, not embedding giant base64 blobs in chat.
