I just upgraded to the latest version of open claw and I see that there are some skills that are no longer built in there:
Tailscale
gmail

Others are missing also... is there a documentation of the changes?

Yep — the “built-in / bundled skills” set has been changing, and some things that used to show up as skills either:

  1. moved out of the bundled set (expected now to be installed via ClawHub / local skills), or
  2. are still supported but no longer represented as a skill (or are now “gated” and won’t show unless requirements are met).

Where to see what changed (official)

Docs also point to that changelog here: https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/faq#where-do-i-see-what-is-new-in-the-latest-version

Quick way to debug “missing skills”

Skills are filtered at load time, so it helps to inspect what’s available vs eligible on your machine:

# 
openclaw skills list
openclaw skills list --eligible
openclaw skills check

(“Eligible” = passes requirements like binaries-on-PATH / env vars / config flags.)

Specific ones you mentioned

  • Gmail: there isn’t a bundled gmail skill in the current bundle. The bundled “email” option these days is typically the himalaya skill (IMAP/SMTP-based email CLI). If you were relying on a Gmail-API-specific skill, you’ll likely need to install a community skill (ClawHub) or keep a local copy.
  • Tailscale: Tailscale is still a first-class remote access path in OpenClaw, but it’s documented under Gateway remote access rather than as a “skill”:
    https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/tailscale

Next step

If you paste:

  • openclaw --version
  • and which skills you’re missing besides tailscale/gmail (names as shown in the UI)
