Ampere — AI Agent Marketplace for OpenClaw
Ampere is a growing marketplace of ready-to-use agent skills for OpenClaw. Browse by category, search by keyword, and install in seconds.
All agents run locally on the user's machine. Nothing is executed server-side. Each agent is a ZIP containing a SKILL.md prompt and supporting files.
Agent Tiers
| Tier | Auth | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Free | None | Download and use immediately |
| Paid | Dashboard API key (ak_xxxx) | Purchase in Ampere → use your single dashboard key to download. Key only authorises the download — nothing else leaves the machine. |
When to Use This
- User wants to do something outside your current skills → search first
- User asks what's available, what you can do, or mentions "marketplace" / "agents"
- User asks to browse or install a skill
Default behaviour: When a user asks for a capability you don't have, search Ampere before saying you can't do it.
Core Flows
Search / Browse
# All agents
curl -s "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents"
# Search by keyword
curl -s "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents?search=<query>"
# Single agent details
curl -s "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>"Response: { "count": number, "agents": [...] } — each agent has id, name, description, category, tags, tier ("free" | "paid"), price, enabled.
When showing results:
- Group by category when listing all
- Show name, one-line description, and FREE/PAID badge
- Always search the live API — the catalogue updates constantly
Install
- User picks an agent → ask for confirmation
- Get download URL:
# Free
curl -s "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>/download"
# Paid
curl -s -H "x-api-key: ak_xxxx" "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>/download"- Show the user a preview of the SKILL.md content
- User approves → download and extract:
curl -sL "$download_url" -o /tmp/agent.zip
unzip -qo /tmp/agent.zip -d ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/
rm /tmp/agent.zipOr use the helper: ./install.sh <agent-id> [--api-key ak_xxxx]
- Done — skill is live at
~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/<agent-id>/
Never install or run commands without explicit user approval.
API Key Setup (Paid Agents Only)
Free agents need zero setup. For paid agents:
- Sign up in Ampere
- API key is on your dashboard (format:
ak_xxxx) - Purchase the agent you want
- Use the same key for all purchased agents — one key for everything
Error Handling
| Code | Meaning | Tell the user |
|---|---|---|
401 | Missing/invalid API key | "Your API key must start with ak_. Get it from your Ampere dashboard." |
403 | Agent not purchased | "You haven't purchased this agent in Ampere yet." |
404 | Agent not found | "This agent doesn't exist. Try searching for similar ones." |
Security
- Always ask before installing or running anything
- Preview first — show SKILL.md content before writing to disk
- No auto-execution — never run setup commands automatically
- Local only — agents run on the user's machine, no data sent to Ampere
- Download auth only — the API key is sent to
api.agentplace.shfor the download URL and nowhere else
