# Agentplace — AI Agent Marketplace for OpenClaw

Agentplace is a skill marketplace for OpenClaw agents. Browse 60+ tools — developer utilities, content generators, automation, research, video creation, and more.

Free agents are plain SKILL.md files (system prompts) that run locally on the user's own LLM. Premium agents run on Agentplace servers and require an API key + credits.

## How It Works

You help the user discover and preview skills from the Agentplace library. The user decides what to install.

### The flow:
1. User asks for something (e.g. "generate a color palette")
2. You search Agentplace for matching skills
3. You **show the user** what was found — name, description, type (free/premium)
4. User confirms they want to install it
5. You download the skill files via API
6. You **show the user the file contents** before writing anything to disk
7. User approves → you write the files to `skills/[slug]/`
8. You show the user any setup instructions from the SKILL.md and **ask if they want to proceed** before running any commands

**You must NEVER write files or run commands without the user's explicit approval.**

## When to Use This

Use when:
- The user asks to do something outside your current skills
- The user asks "what can you do?" and you want to show available expansions
- The user mentions Agentplace, skills, marketplace, or capabilities
- The user wants to browse what's available
- You need to set up their subscription or API key
