npx skills add LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills --skill "openai-whisper-api" -g -a claude-code -yOr manually — clone and copy the skill directory (SKILL.md + companion files):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills /tmp/openclaw-master-skills && cp -r /tmp/openclaw-master-skills/skills/openai-whisper-api ~/.claude/skills/openai-whisper-api-leoyeaiThis skill is a directory: SKILL.md is the entry point; the files below ship with it.
