This is a submission for the OpenClaw Challenge.

What I Built

Car Connect — An OpenClaw skill for your car. It supports 7 car brands by default (Tesla, Mercedes, VW, Ford, Toyota, Kia, Honda) and also can add your car brand.

Pick yours, and you can lock doors, check fuel, see tyre pressure, battery charge, turn on AC, and more. You can also add your own car brand if it's not on the list.

Install: openclaw skills install deadlybutsoft/car-connect

How I Used OpenClaw

OpenClaw makes it easy to package and share skills. I wrote the logic in Python, added a SKILL.md file, and published it to ClawHub.

Each car brand has a different login system — Tesla uses tokens, Mercedes uses OAuth, Honda uses email/password. OpenClaw let me handle all of them through environment variables without hardcoding anything. It also made it simple to add custom brands.

What I Learned

Every car brand does things differently. The trick was building one simple interface that works for all of them without leaking any private data.
