skill-search-create

What This Skill Does

The skill-search-create agent is a powerful utility for managing the lifecycle of OpenClaw skills. It serves as a bridge between the vast ecosystem of ClawHub and your local development environment. By leveraging the clawhub CLI, this skill enables you to discover existing functionality with a simple search command, ensuring you don't reinvent the wheel. If the desired capability does not exist, the skill assists in initializing the standardized directory structure required for a new OpenClaw skill, including the mandatory SKILL.md documentation and sub-folder architecture. Finally, it streamlines the deployment process by facilitating the publishing of your finished code directly to the registry.

Installation

To install this skill, ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/condamnation/skill-search-create

Once installed, verify your access by running clawhub login to authenticate with your ClawHub credentials, allowing the agent to perform search and publish operations on your behalf.

Use Cases

• Efficient Resource Discovery: Quickly check if community members have already built tools for your specific automation needs, saving hours of development time.
• Rapid Prototyping: Automate the creation of boilerplate files and directory structures, ensuring every new project you start meets the OpenClaw structural requirements.
• Community Contribution: Seamlessly push your own custom-built skills to the global repository to share with other OpenClaw users, fostering a collaborative ecosystem.
• Workflow Automation: Integrates into the agent's decision-making loop, allowing it to propose the creation of a missing skill when a specific user request cannot be fulfilled by existing tools.

Example Prompts

1. "I need a way to track project tasks; can you search ClawHub to see if there is a skill for that?"
2. "I'm looking for an email automation skill. If you can't find one, please help me set up a new project structure for one named 'mailer'."
3. "I have finished my custom image processing skill; can you help me publish it to the ClawHub?"

Tips & Limitations

• Authentication First: Always run clawhub login before attempting publishing actions to avoid authorization errors.
• Standardization: Ensure your SKILL.md is well-documented after initialization; it is the most important file for community adoption.
• CLI Dependency: This skill relies heavily on the clawhub binary. If the CLI is not reachable in your system PATH, the skill will gracefully degrade to assisting with manual folder creation.
• Version Control: When publishing, ensure you provide a meaningful changelog to keep the community informed of updates.
