OpenClaw user creates 'feelslikeclaude' skill to improve ChatGPT agent workflow behavior
Workflow differences between Claude and ChatGPT in OpenClaw
A developer recently switched their OpenClaw setup from Claude to ChatGPT and discovered the primary difference wasn't about writing style or tone, but about workflow behavior. After using ChatGPT for real work, they identified specific execution gaps compared to Claude.
What the developer missed from Claude
- Doing the obvious next step without requiring babysitting
- Giving cleaner progress updates
- Not stopping at the first blocker
- Saying "done" when actually finished
- Asking fewer unnecessary confirmation questions
The developer described Claude as feeling more like a "competent operator" while ChatGPT required more steering despite being capable.
The 'feelslikeclaude' clawhub skill
Instead of trying to replicate Claude's wording, the developer created a clawhub skill called feelslikeclaude to address workflow behavior. The skill focuses on pushing the agent toward better working habits rather than different conversational styles.
Key characteristics of the skill:
- Doesn't call external APIs
- Doesn't install anything
- Doesn't try to literally impersonate Claude
- Nudges behavior in a more useful direction
The goal is: "Less filler. More initiative. Better follow-through. Clearer done / blocked / next."
The developer noted that while the underlying model matters, the behavior layer on top is what users actually feel day-to-day in agent workflows.
