Automate It ships as an AgentSkills-format skill: a SKILL.md the agent reads plus ait.mjs, a zero-dependency CLI (Node 18+) that speaks Automate It’s MCP server. The skill teaches the full loop — delegate a task, or generate content yourself and submit it through the human review gate.

​
Install

The skill is published on ClawHub:
(clawhub install @workingdevshero/automate-it works too, and the skill folder can always be dropped into your workspace’s skills/ directory by hand.)

​
Get an API key

The skill authenticates with a scoped ak_… key — there’s no OAuth flow for this path, so create the key first:
  1. In the Automate It web app, click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar to reach Profile (https://automate.it.com/app/<workspace-slug>/settings/profile). Keys can’t be minted from the mobile apps.
  2. Under Developer API Keys, click Create Key.
  3. Name it something you’ll recognize (“OpenClaw agent”) and tick tasks:read, tasks:write, content:write, and skills:read — enough to create tasks, submit content into review, and read your workspace’s voice and formatting skills.
  4. Copy the ak_… secret. It’s shown once; paste it into AUTOMATE_IT_API_KEY below.
Add files:read if the agent reads skill-bundled reference files and files:write if it uploads media. The full table is in API keys & scopes.

Configure

Set the environment where the agent runs:

Verify

From here the skill’s own instructions take over: the agent creates tasks, works assigned ones, revises after rejection, and fetches published links. The Worker mode guide is the human-readable version of that loop, and the CLI reference covers every command.
