CoPaw AI Assistant Skill
Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
CoPaw is a personal AI assistant framework you deploy on your own machine or in the cloud. It connects to multiple chat platforms (DingTalk, Feishu, QQ, Discord, iMessage, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, MQTT) through a single agent, supports custom Python skills, scheduled cron jobs, local and cloud LLMs, and provides a web Console at http://127.0.0.1:8088/.
Installation
pip (recommended if Python 3.10–3.13 is available)
pip install copaw
copaw init --defaults # non-interactive setup with sensible defaults
copaw app # starts the web Console + backend
Script install (no Python setup required)
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash
# With Ollama support:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash -s -- --extras ollama
# Multiple extras:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash -s -- --extras ollama,llamacpp
Windows CMD:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.bat -o install.bat && install.bat

After script install, open a new terminal:
copaw init --defaults
copaw app
Install from source
git clone https://github.com/agentscope-ai/CoPaw.git

copaw app
CLI Reference
copaw init # interactive workspace setup
copaw init --defaults # non-interactive setup
copaw app # start the Console (http://127.0.0.1:8088/)
copaw app --port 8090 # use a custom port
copaw --help # list all commands
Workspace Structure
After copaw init, a workspace is created (default: ~/.copaw/workspace/):
~/.copaw/workspace/
├── config.yaml # agent, provider, channel configuration
├── skills/ # custom skill files (auto-loaded)
│ └── my_skill.py
├── memory/ # conversation memory storage
└── logs/ # runtime logs
Configuration (config.yaml)
copaw init generates this file. Edit it directly or use the Console UI.

Custom Skills
Skills are Python files placed in ~/.copaw/workspace/skills/. They are auto-loaded when CoPaw starts — no registration step needed.
Minimal skill structure
# ~/.copaw/workspace/skills/weather.py
SKILL_NAME = "get_weather"
SKILL_DESCRIPTION = "Get current weather for a city"
# Tool schema (OpenAI function-calling format)

resp.raise_for_status()
data = resp.json()

return json.dumps(sorted(entries))
Cron / Scheduled Tasks
Define cron jobs in config.yaml to run skills on a schedule and push results to a channel:
cron:
- id: daily-digest
schedule: "0 8 * * *" # every day at 08:00
skill: get_weather
skill_args:
city: "Tokyo"
channel_id: dingtalk-main # matches a channel id below
message_template: "Good morning! Today's weather: {result}"
- id: hourly-news
schedule: "0 * * * *"
skill: fetch_tech_news
channel_id: discord-main
Local Model Setup
Ollama
# Install Ollama: https://ollama.ai
ollama pull llama3.2
ollama serve # starts on http://localhost:11434
# config.yaml
providers:
- id: ollama-local
type: ollama
model: llama3.2
base_url: http://localhost:11434
LM Studio
providers:
- id: lmstudio-local
type: lmstudio
model: lmstudio-community/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-GGUF
base_url: http://localhost:1234/v1
llama.cpp (extra required)
pip install "copaw[llamacpp]"
providers:
- id: llamacpp-local
type: llamacpp
model_path: /path/to/model.gguf
Tool Guard (Security)
Tool Guard blocks risky tool calls and requires user approval before execution. Configure in config.yaml:
agent:
tool_guard:
enabled: true
risk_patterns:
- "rm -rf"
- "DROP TABLE"
- "os.system"
auto_approve_low_risk: true
When a call is blocked, the Console shows an approval prompt. The user can approve or deny before the tool runs.
Token Usage Tracking
Token usage is tracked automatically and visible in the Console dashboard. Access programmatically:
# In a skill or debug script
from copaw.telemetry import get_usage_summary
summary = get_usage_summary()
print(summary)
# {'total_tokens': 142300, 'prompt_tokens': 98200, 'completion_tokens': 44100, 'by_provider': {...}}
Environment Variables
Set these before running copaw app, or reference them in config.yaml as ${VAR_NAME}:
# LLM providers
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
# Channels
export DINGTALK_APP_KEY=...

Troubleshooting
Console not accessible at port 8088
# Use a different port
copaw app --port 8090
# Check if another process is using 8088
lsof -i :8088 # macOS/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :8088 # Windows
Skills not loading
- Confirm the skill file is in
~/.copaw/workspace/skills/ - Confirm
SKILL_NAME,SKILL_DESCRIPTION,SKILL_SCHEMA, and the handler function are all defined at module level - Check
~/.copaw/workspace/logs/for import errors - Restart
copaw appafter adding new skill files
Channel not receiving messages
- Verify credentials are set correctly (env vars or
config.yaml) - Check the Console → Channels page for connection status
- For DingTalk/Feishu/Discord with
mention_only: true, the bot must be @mentioned - Discord messages over 2000 characters are split automatically — ensure the bot has
Send Messagespermission
LLM provider connection fails
# Test provider from CLI (Console → Providers → Test Connection)
# Or check logs:
tail -f ~/.copaw/workspace/logs/copaw.log
- For Ollama: confirm
ollama serveis running andbase_urlmatches - For OpenAI-compatible APIs: verify
base_urlends with/v1 - LLM calls auto-retry with exponential backoff — transient failures resolve automatically
Windows encoding issues
# Set UTF-8 encoding for CMD
chcp 65001
Or set in environment:
export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
Workspace reset
# Reinitialize workspace (preserves skills/)
copaw init
# Full reset (destructive)
rm -rf ~/.copaw/workspace
copaw init --defaults
ModelScope Cloud Deployment
For one-click cloud deployment without local setup:
- Visit ModelScope CoPaw Studio
- Fork the studio to your account
- Set environment variables in the studio settings
- Start the studio — Console is accessible via the studio URL
