06 Your Toolkit_
Your agent has built-in skills. Tools are optional add-ons you install to extend those skills. You don't know what you don't know — so part of the work is discovering what's possible.
Discovering Tools
You can't plan for tools you've never heard of. Here are ways to find them:
- Ask your agent to research: "What are popular tools for [task]?" Your agent can scan GitHub, Reddit, and community Discord servers for what's working.
- Community signals: Join the Heyron Discord, check OpenClaw docs, ask what others are using.
- Tool documentation: Explore GitHub repos and official docs of frameworks you're interested in. Look at their integrations pages. Or point your agent at them and get a summary.
- Keep a running list: In your workspace, maintain a file of tools you want to try. Add them with a one-line description and a link.
Some Useful Tools to Start With
These are tools people commonly integrate:
Instant (one step)
Intermediate (a few steps)
- GitHub — Version control, backups, free website hosting with "pages"
- Whisper — Voice-to-text functionality
Intensive (many steps)
- Cloudflare Worker — Custom backend workflows
The Forgetting Problem
Here's a common issue: You set up a tool, it works great, then two context windows later your agent doesn't remember how to use it.
Document tools systematically so you can quickly and easily direct your agent to the instructions (instead of constantly explaining it all over again each time you want something to just work):
- Quick reference (TOOLS.md): A single file listing all your tools with: what it does, where the API lives, key facts, and where detailed docs are. About 4 lines per tool.
- Comprehensive docs (t-*/README.md): Each tool gets its own folder with detailed setup instructions, scripts, troubleshooting, and dependencies. This is your emergency recovery guide.
- Link them together: AGENTS.md mentions TOOLS.md. TOOLS.md points to each tool's folder. Each tool folder has a README. This creates a clear trail.
Start with one tool. Get it working. Document it. Then add the next. Your future self will thank you.
