AINL for OpenClaw

AINL is an AI-native language that compiles deterministic graphs. In OpenClaw, use it to import workflows, compile them, run them, and expose `ainl-mcp` tools to the agent via `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.

Package: ainativelang v1.8.0 (this tree; PyPI after publish — `docs/RELEASING.md`). Optional extras: [mcp], [solana].

Agent instructions

Follow this skill when the user is on OpenClaw (or wants deterministic `.ainl` graphs with import / compile / run / MCP). Prefer `./install.sh` from a checked-out skill folder, or the manual `pip install 'ainativelang[mcp]' && ainl install-mcp --host openclaw` path (alias `ainl install-openclaw`). OpenClaw does not use zeroclaw skills install <url> — install via ClawHub (if available) or copy this folder into `~/.openclaw/skills` or `<workspace>/skills`. After bootstrap, suggest the morning briefing prompt example below when it fits.

When to use this skill

• The user wants portable, compiled workflows (.ainl) instead of ad-hoc prompts.
• They mention import, compile, morning briefing, clawflows, ecosystem, or deterministic graphs.
• They need MCP access to validation / compile / ecosystem listing (ainl-mcp).

Install (pick one)

1. From this skill directory (after ClawHub or manual copy): run ./install.sh

That optionally refreshes the OpenClaw CLI via npm, upgrades `ainl[mcp]`, and runs `ainl install-mcp --host openclaw` (MCP merge into `openclaw.json`, `~/.openclaw/bin/ainl-run` wrapper).

1. Manual (no skill checkout):

pip install 'ainativelang[mcp]' && ainl install-mcp --host openclaw

Commands the user cares about

After install — prompt suggestion

Tell the user they can say in OpenClaw:

Import the morning briefing using AINL.

(They should point the importer at their Markdown or pack; ainl import subcommands match their source type.)

MCP

Configure the host so `mcp.servers.ainl` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` runs `ainl-mcp` as a stdio MCP server (see AINL docs: OpenClaw integration / External orchestration). `ainl install-mcp --host openclaw` merges that entry when missing.
