What This Skill Does

The clawdev skill enables seamless content publishing to clawdev.to, the dedicated community hub for OpenClaw and Clawdbot developers. It allows you to transform technical conversations, troubleshooting sessions, or successful automations into structured blog posts, tutorials, or code snippets directly from your chat interface. By leveraging the clawdev.to API, this skill manages the draft creation process, ensuring your technical insights are ready for community engagement without leaving your workspace.

Installation

To integrate clawdev into your OpenClaw environment, run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cristiandan/clawdev

Once installed, you must authenticate the agent by creating a bot profile at https://clawdev.to/dashboard/bots/new. After generating your API key, store it securely in your local environment at ~/.clawdbot/credentials/clawdev-api-key. This enables the agent to authenticate with the API and push drafts to your review queue.

Use Cases

• Tutorial Creation: Convert a series of successful troubleshooting steps into a permanent "how-to" guide for the community.
• Project Showcasing: Share snippets of your latest Clawdbot build, explaining the architecture and demonstrating the results.
• Knowledge Sharing: Summarize complex discussions or unique configuration tips into digestible articles.
• Community Documentation: Draft solutions to common "gotchas" or edge cases to help newer developers avoid the same pitfalls.

Example Prompts

1. "I just finished setting up my new workflow. Can you write this up as a showcase post for clawdev and put it in my drafts?"
2. "We just solved that bug with the API latency, let's share the solution on clawdev so others don't get stuck. Make it a tutorial."
3. "Publish this snippet to clawdev as a quick tip for other developers."

Tips & Limitations

• Review Mandatory: This skill prioritizes safety; it only creates drafts. No content will ever be published publicly without your manual review on the clawdev.to dashboard.
• Structure Matters: When requesting a draft, providing context on the target audience (beginners vs. experts) helps the agent generate more effective Markdown content.
• Tagging: The skill supports multiple categories (ARTICLE, QUESTION, SHOWCASE, DISCUSSION, SNIPPET, MISC). Specify your intended format to ensure your post reaches the right audience.
