Find jobs with OpenClaw

Install the skill from ClawHub

Install (or update) the skill into your OpenClaw workspace:

clawhub install remote-jobs-finder

One-time server setup: deploy the rr_jobs_search gateway extension

This skill requires a server-side OpenClaw gateway extension that registers the rr_jobs_search tool. Copy the extension files into ~/.openclaw/extensions.

# 1) Create the OpenClaw global extensions dir
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/extensions

# 2) Copy the two extension files into place
# (replace /path/to/bundle with where you unzipped the "everything" bundle)
cp /path/to/bundle/SERVER_EXTENSION_openclaw_extensions_root/openclaw.plugin.json ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw.plugin.json
cp /path/to/bundle/SERVER_EXTENSION_openclaw_extensions_root/index.ts ~/.openclaw/extensions/index.ts

# 3) Quick sanity check
ls -la ~/.openclaw/extensions
sed -n '1,40p' ~/.openclaw/extensions/index.ts

If you’re inside the unzipped bundle folder, you can use the provided helper script instead: ./install-server.sh

Enable the extension in OpenClaw config

Enable the global extension plugin (id: "index") in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json so the gateway loads it.

# Show current plugin entries
jq '.plugins.entries' ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

# Edit the config
nano ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

# Ensure it contains (merge into plugins.entries):
# "plugins": { "entries": { "index": { "enabled": true }, "whatsapp": { "enabled": true } } }

After saving, you’ll restart the gateway in the next step. If you prefer a one-liner: you can edit manually with nano; it’s the safest here.

Set RR_API_KEY on the server (systemd) and restart

RR_API_KEY must be set in the openclaw-gateway systemd service environment (not just your shell). You can fetch your API key from your Remote Rocketship account page (https://www.remoterocketship.com/account).

# 1) Create a systemd override for the gateway service
sudo systemctl edit openclaw-gateway.service

# 2) Paste this, replacing YOUR_KEY_HERE:
# [Service]
# Environment="RR_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE"

# 3) Reload + restart
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart openclaw-gateway.service

# 4) Verify the env var is actually present
sudo systemctl show openclaw-gateway.service --property=Environment | tr ' ' '\n' | grep RR_API_KEY || echo "RR_API_KEY not set"

If the tool later replies “Missing RR_API_KEY…”, it means the service env isn’t set or you restarted the wrong service.

Restart the gateway (safe to do after updates)

Restart the OpenClaw gateway so the tool + skill are freshly loaded:

openclaw gateway restart

Verify (recommended)

Run an agent turn and confirm the tool exists in the tool list:

openclaw agent --to <your_number> --message "What tools do you currently have available? List their names exactly." --json --verbose on

Chat with your agent (fully conversational)

Now just message your agent normally:
