This guide walks through the complete flow from discovering a skill to using it successfully for the first time in about 3 minutes. The example used here is the "Store Operation Analysis" skill.

The Store Operation Analysis skill is an official StoreClaw skill. It supports analysis of sales, inventory, product, and customer data across Amazon, Shopify, Genstore, Wix, WooCommerce, eBay, and Noon stores, including single-dimension and multi-dimension analysis.

Two Ways to Install Skills

In the current version, you can install skills in two ways:

Method 1: Install via Plugin (Recommended)

When you install a Plugin, StoreClaw automatically installs all skills included in that Plugin and guides you through account connection. This is the fastest way.

Method 2: Install Manually in Skill Hub

If you only need specific skills, you can search for and install them manually in Skill Hub.

Step 1: Choose a Skill in Skill Hub

  1. Click Skills in the left navigation.
  2. In the category tabs at the top, select Store Management.
  3. Find the Store Operation Analysis skill card in the list and open its detail page. There you can review the skill's core functions and common scenarios.
  4. You can install the skill by clicking + on the card, or by clicking Run Skill on the skill detail page.
    • At this point, the skill has been added to "My Skills."

Step 2: Use It in Chat for the First Time

Now test the new capability:

  1. Click New task in the left navigation.
  2. Option A: When you know which skill to use
    • Type / in the chat box and select [store-operation-analysis] from the list that appears.
  3. Option B: Describe the task directly
    • Enter your request in natural language, for example:

      "Analyze my store's sales data from last week."

    • StoreClaw will match the most relevant skill automatically.
  4. Send the message and review the result generated through the skill.

Step 3: Confirm That the Skill Works

To confirm that the skill is active and working properly, try this prompt:

"Show me the current live order status of my store."

If the skill is working, StoreClaw shows an overview of store orders. If it says a data source must be connected first, complete the corresponding store connection authorization or install the corresponding Plugin.

Want to keep analysis results organized over time?

StoreClaw provides three ways to manage and preserve analysis output:

  1. Automatic archiving: Reports, charts, and other generated files are automatically saved to the Library, where you can review and reuse them later.
  2. Project management: Use Projects to create a dedicated project for a specific store or business line and keep related chats and files together.
  3. MyStore: For ecommerce stores, you can use MyStore store workspace for continuous operational analysis, daily briefings, and anomaly diagnosis around a specific store.

FAQ

Q: Why doesn't the skill list appear after I type / in the input box?

A: Go to the [My Skills] tab and confirm that the skill has been installed.

Q: Why does StoreClaw sometimes choose the wrong skill to answer my request?

A: This usually happens when several similar skills are enabled at the same time, such as multiple competitor analysis tools. To improve matching accuracy, enable only the skills needed for the current task.

Q: Can I use a skill without typing / first?

A: Yes. As long as the skill is enabled, you can describe the request directly in natural language, such as "Analyze yesterday's refund reasons in my store," and StoreClaw will try to select the best matching skill automatically.

Q: After I activate a skill, is it available in all of my projects automatically?

A: Yes. Skill activation is account-level. Once a skill is enabled in My Skills, you can invoke it through slash commands or natural language in any project or new chat.

Q: What is the difference between skills installed via Plugin and manually installed skills?

A: Skills installed via Plugin are bound to that Plugin and cannot be uninstalled individually in the current version; manually installed skills can be uninstalled at any time. There is no difference in their usage.
