What are Skills?
Skills are specialized plugins for AI agents that extend their capabilities with domain-specific knowledge and workflows. They allow AI agents to perform complex operations that would otherwise require multiple steps and API calls. These skills are designed for OpenClaw.Available Pinata Skills
Pinata provides two powerful skills that enable AI agents to work seamlessly with IPFS storage and blockchain agent registration:Pinata API
Manage files, groups, gateways, signatures, payments, and AI-powered vector search on Pinata’s IPFS platform.
ERC-8004 Agent Registration
Register and verify AI agents using the ERC-8004 standard with IPFS storage and on-chain transactions.
Getting Started
Both skills are available on ClawHub, the registry for Claude Code skills:Installation
Install skills directly from ClawHub:How Skills Work
Once installed and configured with your API credentials in OpenClaw, you can simply ask your AI agent to perform operations in natural language:“Upload this file to Pinata”
“Create an ERC-8004 agent card for my AI assistant”
“Register this agent on Base Sepolia”The AI agent automatically uses the appropriate skill and handles all the API calls, file operations, and blockchain transactions for you.
Configuration
Skills require environment variables to be set in your OpenClaw configuration (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json). Each skill documents its required credentials and setup steps.
See the individual skill pages for detailed setup instructions.
