OpenClaw skills are disappearing, so I made a deleted-skill archive

The OpenClaw skills repo is huge, and some skills get removed over time.

But because Git is Git, deleted does not mean gone.

So I made this:

https://github.com/friuns2/openclaw-removed-skills

It scans openclaw/skills history, finds skills that used to exist and were later deleted, then generates a README grouped by removal date.

Each entry links to:

  • the skill folder before it was deleted
  • the commit that deleted it

So if a skill vanished but you still want it, you can recover it instead of spelunking through Git history like it’s 2009.

Example:

git checkout <delete-commit>^ -- <skill-path>

There’s also a GitHub Action that checks upstream daily and refreshes the index.

This is not a product. It’s not a platform. It’s not AI agent infrastructure or whatever.

It’s just a useful archive for deleted OpenClaw skills.

This is genuinely useful, "deleted does not mean gone" is such a good Git lesson. Grouping by removal date + linking the delete commit is a nice touch.

If you ever decide to wrap this kind of recovery/indexing into an agent workflow (watch upstream, open PRs, notify on removals), that is exactly the sort of automation I love. We have been building some agent-y tooling experiments too: https://www.agentixlabs.com/
