SKILL.md: metadata uses 'clawdbot' namespace — should be 'openclaw' #2

Problem

SKILL.md line 5 uses metadata: {"clawdbot": {...}} but OpenClaw resolves skill metadata via ["openclaw"] only (src/compat/legacy-names.ts). The clawdbot namespace is not in the legacy keys list.

This means OpenClaw silently ignores the skill's:

  • requires.env (no env gating on POSTIZ_API_URL / POSTIZ_API_KEY)
  • requires.bins (no binary check)
  • emoji
  • install specs

The skill still loads (name/description from frontmatter work), but metadata-driven features are broken.

Solution

Change clawdbotopenclaw in the metadata key:

-metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"🌎","requires":{"bins":[],"env":["POSTIZ_API_URL","POSTIZ_API_KEY"]}}}
+metadata: {"openclaw":{"emoji":"🌎","requires":{"bins":["postiz"],"env":["POSTIZ_API_URL","POSTIZ_API_KEY"]}}}

Also adds "postiz" to requires.bins since the CLI binary is required.
