# UniFuncs Skill (Default Web Tools)

This skill provides **default** web capabilities for OpenClaw:

1. **Web Reader** - Extract and read webpage content (replaces web_fetch)
2. **AI Search** - Search the web with AI-powered results (replaces web_search)
3. **Deep Research** - Conduct comprehensive research on topics

## Why Use This Instead of Built-in Tools

- **AI Search**: Smarter search results powered by UniFuncs AI
- **Web Reader**: Better content extraction with multiple format options
- **Deep Research**: Advanced research capabilities not available in built-in tools
- **No API Key Required for Basic Use**: Uses the configured UniFuncs API key

## Configuration

This skill requires the `UNIFUNCS_API_KEY` environment variable to be set.

### Option 1: OpenClaw Configuration (Recommended)

Add to your `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:

```json
{
  "env": {
    "vars": {
      "UNIFUNCS_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key"
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 2: System Environment Variable

```bash
export UNIFUNCS_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key
```

Add this to your `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc` to persist across sessions.

### Option 3: Per-Use Export

```bash
UNIFUNCS_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key openclaw ...
```

## Disabling Built-in Web Tools

To use UniFuncs as the default web tools, disable built-in tools in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:

```json
{
  "tools": {
    "web": {
      "search": {
        "enabled": false
      },
      "fetch": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}
```

  "error": null
}
```

On error:
