## Skills vs Plugins: What's the Difference?
OpenClaw has two extension mechanisms: **Skills** and **Plugins**. Understanding when to use each is key to building effective extensions.
### Skills
Skills are **prompt-based instructions** that teach the agent how to use external tools or follow specific workflows.
```
skills/
└── weather/
└── SKILL.md # Instructions for the agent
```
**Characteristics:**
- 📝 Markdown files with instructions
- 🧠 Loaded into the agent's context at runtime
- 🔧 Rely on existing tools (exec, browser, etc.)
- 🚀 Easy to create — just write a SKILL.md
- ⚡ No code execution, just prompt engineering
**Best for:**
- Teaching the agent to use CLI tools
- Defining workflows and best practices
- API integration via curl/scripts
- Quick, low-code extensions
### Plugins
Plugins are **TypeScript modules** that run in-process with the OpenClaw gateway, extending its core capabilities.
```
extensions/
└── voice-call/
├── index.ts # Plugin code
├── openclaw.plugin.json # Manifest
└── package.json
```
**Characteristics:**
- 💻 Full TypeScript/JavaScript code
- ⚙️ Run in the gateway process
- 🔌 Can register new tools, channels, CLI commands, and RPC methods
- 🔐 Access to gateway internals and APIs
- 📦 Distributed via npm or git
**Best for:**
- Adding new messaging channels (Slack, Teams, etc.)
- Custom agent tools with complex logic
- Background services and scheduled tasks
- Gateway UI enhancements
- Anything requiring persistent state or network connections
### The Case for Plugins
While skills are great for quick integrations, **plugins are fundamentally more powerful**:
| Capability | Skills | Plugins |
|------------|--------|---------|
| Add new messaging channels | ❌ | ✅ |
| Register custom agent tools | ❌ | ✅ |
| Add CLI commands | ❌ | ✅ |
| Run background services | ❌ | ✅ |
| Modify gateway behavior | ❌ | ✅ |
| Persistent state management | ❌ | ✅ |
| OAuth flows & auth handlers | ❌ | ✅ |
| WebSocket connections | ❌ | ✅ |
| HTTP endpoint handlers | ❌ | ✅ |
| Ship bundled skills | ❌ | ✅ |
**Bottom line:** Skills tell the agent *how* to do things. Plugins give the agent *new abilities* it couldn't have otherwise.
