Prepared by: ParzivalTD
Purpose: Check which recommended skills exist on ClawHub vs. need to be built

My Recommendations vs. Available Skills

DAEDALUS — Chief Architect

Skill I Recommended	Available on ClawHub?	Alternative	Recommendation
ADR Generator	❌ No	None found	BUILD: Custom skill (specific to TekDek)
System Diagram Creator	❌ No	ascii-diagram, code-to-diagram tools exist but not specific	BUILD: Custom (lightweight)
Scalability Analyzer	✅ Maybe	performance-profiler, sql-query-optimizer	USE: performance-profiler + custom scalability logic
Trade-off Documenter	❌ No	None found	BUILD: Custom skill (could be simple)

Priority: ADR Generator is must-have. Others can be embedded in system prompt.

TALOS — Technical Coder

Skill I Recommended	Available on ClawHub?	Alternative	Recommendation
PHP Code Optimizer	✅ Yes	simplify, code-review-fix, performance-profiler	USE: simplify for code cleanup, performance-profiler for perf
Database Schema Analyzer	✅ Yes	database-schema-designer, database-design, db-schema-gen, sql-query-optimizer	USE: database-schema-designer + sql-query-optimizer
API Contract Generator	✅ Partial	promptify (can generate docs), no direct OpenAPI tool found	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (generate from code comments)
Test Coverage Analyzer	❌ No	None specifically for coverage	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (PHPUnit analysis)
Migration Validator	❌ No	None found	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (check reversibility)

Best approach: Use simplify + performance-profiler + database-schema-designer, embed the rest in prompt.

---

ICARUS — Frontend Designer

Skill I Recommended	Available on ClawHub?	Alternative	Recommendation
Responsive Design Tester	✅ Partial	accessibility-toolkit, responsive design validation in browser tools	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (use Chrome DevTools integration)
Accessibility Auditor	✅ Yes	sovereign-accessibility-auditor, accessibility-check, accessibility-toolkit	USE: sovereign-accessibility-auditor (highly rated 3.492)
Performance Optimizer	✅ Yes	performance-profiler	USE: performance-profiler
Design System Validator	❌ No	None found (very niche)	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (brand guidelines checklist)
Interaction Pattern Suggester	❌ No	None found	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (UX patterns knowledge)

Best approach: Use sovereign-accessibility-auditor + performance-profiler, embed the design system stuff in prompt.

---

HEPHAESTUS — Operations & Infrastructure

Skill I Recommended	Available on ClawHub?	Alternative	Recommendation
Deployment Orchestrator	✅ Yes	deploy-pilot, deploy-agent, vercel-deploy	EVALUATE: deploy-pilot (looks relevant)
Infrastructure Health Monitor	❌ No	Appian Deployment Status (too specific)	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (monitoring logic)
Backup & DR Automator	❌ No	None found	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (backup procedures)
Incident Response Conductor	❌ No	None found (but valuable)	CUSTOM: Skill or embed in prompt (incident playbooks)
Capacity Planner	❌ No	None found	CUSTOM: Embed in system prompt (trend analysis)

Best approach: Use deploy-pilot or similar, embed the rest in system prompts (operational procedures).

Summary: Build vs. Buy

✅ USE FROM CLAWHUB (Recommend Installing)

For Talos:

• simplify — Code cleanup
• sql-query-optimizer — Database optimization
• database-schema-designer — Schema analysis

For Icarus:

• sovereign-accessibility-auditor — Accessibility (highly rated: 3.492)
• performance-profiler — Performance optimization

For Hephaestus:

• deploy-pilot — Deployment orchestration (evaluate)

🔧 BUILD CUSTOM (Embed in System Prompt)

These are better as system prompt rules than formal skills (simpler, more flexible):

For Daedalus:

• ✏️ ADR Generator (could be formal skill later)
• ✏️ System Diagram Creator (lightweight)
• ✏️ Trade-off Documenter

For Talos:

• ✏️ API Contract Generator
• ✏️ Test Coverage Analyzer
• ✏️ Migration Validator

For Icarus:

• ✏️ Responsive Design Tester
• ✏️ Design System Validator
• ✏️ Interaction Pattern Suggester

For Hephaestus:

• ✏️ Infrastructure Health Monitor
• ✏️ Backup & DR Automator
• ✏️ Incident Response Conductor

Revised Recommendation

Phase 1 (Day 1) — Install from ClawHub

clawhub install simplify
clawhub install sql-query-optimizer
clawhub install database-schema-designer
clawhub install sovereign-accessibility-auditor
clawhub install performance-profiler
clawhub install deploy-pilot  # (evaluate first)

Total: 5-6 skills, all battle-tested community solutions

Phase 2 (Week 1) — Embed Custom Logic in System Prompts

Create custom system prompt modules for:

• Daedalus: ADR generation, trade-off documentation
• Talos: API contract generation, test coverage analysis, migration validation
• Icarus: Design system checking, responsive testing, interaction patterns
• Hephaestus: Deployment safety checks, backup procedures, incident playbooks

These are simpler as embedded logic than as formal skills.

Phase 3 (Week 2+) — Build Formal Skills if Proven Valuable

If custom logic in prompts proves its worth, graduate to formal OpenClaw Skills:

• adr-generator (for Daedalus)
• incident-conductor (for Hephaestus)
• Any others that have high reuse value

Questions for You

1. ClawHub Skills: Should I install the 5 recommended ones now, or do you want to review them first?
2. evaluate deploy-pilot: Good fit for Hephaestus, or should we keep deployment logic simpler?
3. Custom Logic: Approve embedding custom procedures in system prompts for Phase 2?
4. Formal Skills: Any of these you think should be formal OpenClaw Skills from the start?
