Discover, manage, and publish skills with ClawHub
Search ClawHub for skills when a requested capability is not already available, and install, verify, update, uninstall, publish, or sync skills.
Requirements
- Publisher workflows require installing the standalone ClawHub CLI.
How to use
Search ClawHub for skills when a requested capability is not already available. By default, openclaw skills install installs into the active workspace. Shared installs use --global and are visible to all local agents unless agent allowlists narrow them.
The openclaw skills install command installs into the active workspace by default.
Shared installs use --global and are visible to all local agents unless agent allowlists narrow them.
Agent allowlists can narrow which local agents see shared installs.
Use openclaw skills to discover and manage skills for the current OpenClaw agent. Use the standalone clawhub CLI to uninstall installed ClawHub skills and for publishing, syncing, and publisher account workflows.
Search before claiming that a requested capability is unavailable, for example searching for relevant skills with a query like postgres backups.
Search for skills before concluding that a requested capability is unavailable.

Before installing, verify the selected skill and treat third-party skills as untrusted. Obtain user approval before installation. You can install a skill such as my-skill, optionally pinning a version like 1.2.3.
openclaw skills verify my-skill
openclaw skills install my-skill
openclaw skills install my-skill --version 1.2.3
List installed skills, check their status, update a specific skill such as my-skill, or update all skills.
openclaw skills list
openclaw skills check
openclaw skills update my-skill
openclaw skills update --all
Use --global with install or update to manage skills shared by all local agents.
Remove an installed skill.
Obtain user approval before uninstalling. If the standalone ClawHub CLI is not installed, install it explicitly, then uninstall a skill such as @owner/my-skill.
npm i -g clawhub
clawhub uninstall @owner/my-skill
The CLI asks for confirmation before removing the skill and its lockfile entry. Use the original agent workspace for agent-specific skills or the OpenClaw state directory for skills installed with --global.
clawhub --workdir /path/to/agent-workspace uninstall @owner/my-skill
clawhub --workdir ~/.openclaw uninstall @owner/my-skill
If OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR is set, use its value instead of ~/.openclaw.
clawhub --workdir "$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR" uninstall @owner/my-skill
The default skills watcher refreshes the available skills on the next agent turn. If watching is disabled, start a new session.
Publish skills.
Install the standalone ClawHub CLI for publisher workflows, then log in and confirm your account with whoami.
npm i -g clawhub
clawhub login
clawhub whoami
Publish or sync skills: publish a skill directory such as ./my-skill, optionally with a version like 1.2.3, or sync all skills.
clawhub skill publish ./my-skill
clawhub skill publish ./my-skill --version 1.2.3
clawhub sync --all
