export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=<your-key>

File Writes The save-key command saves the API key to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (sets skills.entries.skillboss.apiKey and enabled: true). Existing file is backed up to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak before modification. To use the API key in terminal/CLI outside the agent, add to your shell profile manually:

export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=<your-key>
