OpenClaw uses skills through ClawHub: the integration is delivered as a skill, but the day-to-day experience is still an agent-native Nia workflow inside OpenClaw.

Before using web fetch or web search, you should:- Check indexed sources first using
repos-list.shorsources-list.sh - If source exists: Use
search-universal.sh,repos-grep.sh,sources-read.shfor targeted queries - If source doesn’t exist but you know the URL: Index it with
repos-index.shorsources-index.sh, then search - Only if source unknown: Use
search-web.shorsearch-deep.shto discover URLs, then index
Why this matters: Indexed sources provide more accurate, complete context than web fetches. Web fetch returns truncated/summarized content while Nia provides full source code and documentation.
