Relationship with OpenClaw Ecosystem

The Stack Overflow skill enhances OpenClaw's credibility in programming assistance. When the agent's built-in knowledge is insufficient, the SO skill provides the ability to "consult authoritative sources." It works with the GitHub skill to solve technical issues in development, with the Code Executor skill to verify the correctness of SO answers, and with the Hacker News skill to form a complete developer knowledge acquisition toolchain.
