Homebrew Bridge

Use this skill when the real value is giving a Linux OpenClaw gateway access to a Mac node's Homebrew toolchain.

This skill is for /opt/homebrew/bin/<tool> wrappers such as:

• - INLINECODE1
• INLINECODE2
• other Homebrew-installed CLIs you want to expose from a Mac node

Use This Skill For

• - Linux gateways that should run Homebrew-backed tools through a Mac node
• wrapper-backed skills that depend on brew, gh, or another Homebrew CLI
• same-LAN Mac nodes that already hold the real Homebrew installs
• optional host auto-discovery from OpenClaw config when only one Mac owner is known

Do Not Use This Skill For

• - tools that are inherently Mac-owned apps or permissioned CLIs like imsg or INLINECODE6
• Linux-native tools that should be installed on Linux directly
• WAN-routed Macs or generic remote shell access

Requirements

• - Linux gateway and owning Mac share the same trusted local network or VLAN
• Linux gateway can SSH to the owning Mac
• the requested tool exists at /opt/homebrew/bin/<tool> on that Mac
• the Mac stays awake during work windows or supports Wake-on-LAN

Workflow

1. Render A Tool Ownership Map

Run:

CODEBLOCK0

This prints the inferred or fallback Mac owner for Homebrew-backed tools.

2. Install The Homebrew Pack

Example:

CODEBLOCK1

Host resolution order:

• - explicit INLINECODE8
• INLINECODE9
• the single discovered remoteHost in the OpenClaw config, if there is exactly one
• no repeated host questions when the OpenClaw config already resolves the owner

3. Verify The Pack

Run:

CODEBLOCK2

Design Contract

• - Linux owns the stable wrapper paths
• the Mac owns the real /opt/homebrew/bin binaries
• public skills depend on wrapper paths, not Mac paths
• wrapper names stay explicit per tool

Files

• - scripts/install-wrapper.sh: create one SSH wrapper for a remote binary
• INLINECODE13: install a batch of Homebrew-backed wrappers
• INLINECODE14: verify the installed wrappers
• INLINECODE15: print inferred or fallback tool-to-host maps
• INLINECODE16: publishability rules for Homebrew-backed wrappers
