What This Skill Does

The clawdhub-contributor skill is a specialized utility designed to facilitate community-driven growth within the OpenClaw ecosystem. By acting as a sophisticated interface between your local agent and the global repository, this tool allows you to scout new skills for potential integration, report bugs in a structured and privacy-conscious format, and document your most effective skill combinations through a recipe system. The skill offers three distinct modes: passive, active, and full. In passive mode, the agent focuses solely on bug reporting and recipe generation. Moving to active mode unlocks the auto-scout feature, which performs static analysis on local directories to evaluate code quality and identify potential security risks. Full mode enables optional telemetry, providing anonymized usage statistics to help developers improve the platform. The core strength of this skill lies in its privacy-first design; all analysis is performed offline, and generated reports are sanitized to ensure no sensitive environment data is exposed.

Installation

To add this capability to your agent, execute the following command in your terminal within the OpenClaw directory: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/starbuck100/clawdhub-contributor. Once installed, you can toggle features by updating the config/default.json file or setting the CLAWDHUB_CONTRIB_MODE environment variable. Ensure your system meets the basic node runtime requirements specified in the project documentation.

Use Cases

1. Community Contribution: Assist in maintaining a healthy repository by proactively reporting bugs when a specific skill fails to execute as expected.
2. Skill Auditing: Utilize the auto-scout feature during development or when importing third-party skills to ensure that incoming code adheres to quality standards before it interacts with your system.
3. Knowledge Sharing: Formalize complex task resolutions by creating recipes. These recipes serve as portable configurations that you can share with other users to help them automate identical tasks.

Example Prompts

1. "Scout the new skill directory at ./plugins/experimental and generate a security report."
2. "I encountered a timeout error while running the web-scraper skill; please generate a bug report for me."
3. "Create a recipe for automating my daily email summary using the mail-reader and text-summarizer skills."

Tips & Limitations

To maintain the highest level of security, always run the scout tool on directories you are unfamiliar with before execution. While the tool is designed to be safe, remember that static analysis cannot catch every logical error, so manual verification remains important. Note that telemetry is disabled by default; only enable it if you are comfortable sharing usage metrics. If you encounter issues while reporting bugs, ensure that your node version is up to date, as older versions may struggle with the sanitization scripts provided.
