Expanso Skills for OpenClaw

Deploy data processing pipelines to your local Expanso Edge. Skills run locally, keeping credentials secure and enabling offline operation.

What is Expanso?

  • Expanso Edge — Local runtime that executes pipelines on your machine
  • Expanso Cloud — Orchestrates and deploys pipelines to your Edge nodes
  • Expanso Skills — Pre-built pipelines for common data tasks

Setup

1. Create an Expanso Cloud account
  1. Go to cloud.expanso.io and sign up
  2. Create a new organization (or use an existing one)
  3. Note your Cloud Endpoint URL (e.g., https://abc123.us1.cloud.expanso.io)
2. Install the tools
# Install Expanso Edge (local runtime)
curl -fsSL https://get.expanso.io/edge/install.sh | bash

# Install Expanso CLI (deploy to cloud)
curl -fsSL https://get.expanso.io/cli/install.sh | sh
3. Get a Bootstrap Token
  1. In Expanso Cloud, go to Settings → Edge Nodes
  2. Click "Add Edge Node"
  3. Copy the Bootstrap URL and Bootstrap Token
4. Connect your Edge to the Cloud
# Set the bootstrap URL and token from Expanso Cloud
export EXPANSO_EDGE_BOOTSTRAP_URL="https://start.cloud.expanso.io"
export EXPANSO_EDGE_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN="your-token-from-cloud"

# Start Edge (it will register automatically)
expanso-edge

This connects your local Edge node to your Expanso Cloud organization. Your Edge will now receive pipeline deployments from the cloud.

5. Deploy a skill
# Browse skills at https://skills.expanso.io
# Then deploy one:
expanso-cli job deploy https://skills.expanso.io/text-summarize/pipeline-cli.yaml

The pipeline will be deployed through Expanso Cloud to your local Edge node.

Example: PII Redaction

Ask OpenClaw to redact sensitive data:

"Redact the PII from this customer feedback"

OpenClaw will use the pii-redact skill running on your local Expanso Edge to process the data — your API keys and data never leave your machine.
