OpenClaw Skill

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a locally-running AI assistant that operates directly on your machine. It can browse the web, run shell commands, manage files, and interact with external services through skills — installable plugins from the ClawHub skill registry.

The FastMode skill gives OpenClaw agents full access to FastMode — they can create projects, define content structures, build and deploy websites, manage CMS content, and monitor builds, all without any manual UI or browser required.

Prerequisites

The FastMode skill requires the fastmode CLI binary. When the skill is installed, it will automatically install the CLI via npm if it's not already present:

npm install -g fastmode-cli

Requirements:

Node.js 18 or later
npm (included with Node.js)

You can verify the CLI is installed by running:

fastmode --version

First-Time Authentication

The first time the agent uses FastMode, it needs to authenticate:

The agent runs fastmode login
Your browser opens to the FastMode OAuth page
Sign in to your FastMode account and approve access
Credentials are saved to ~/.fastmode/credentials.json

After this one-time setup, credentials auto-refresh for 90 days. The agent can verify authentication with fastmode whoami.
