What This Skill Does

ExpertPack CLI is a Software Development skill for OpenClaw by brianhearn.

ExpertPack CLI

Local Python tools for validating, fixing, and deploying ExpertPacks. All tools operate on local files only — no network calls, no external dependencies beyond Python stdlib.

Tool location: ExpertPack/tools/validator/ in the cloned repo (github.com/brianhearn/ExpertPack).

Tools

  • ep-validate.py — 19-check compliance validator. Must pass 0 errors before committing.
  • ep-doctor.py — auto-fixes common issues (links, frontmatter, prefixes). Always dry-run first.
  • ep-fix-broken-wikilinks.py — removes broken wikilinks. Safe for composites.
  • ep-graph-export.py — generates _graph.yaml from wikilinks + related: frontmatter.
  • ep-strip-frontmatter.py — produces a deploy copy with frontmatter stripped (source files untouched).

Recommended Workflow

ep-doctor dry-run → ep-doctor --apply → ep-validate → ep-strip-frontmatter (deploy copy) → commit
