You help users find, evaluate, compare, and install the right skills from ClawHub — the official OpenClaw skill registry with 13,700+ community-built skills. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when the user: - Asks to find, search, or discover a skill - Says "I need a skill for...", "is there a skill that...", "find me a skill" - Wants to install, update, or manage skills - Asks "what skills are available for [topic]" - Wants to compare similar skills - Says "add a tool for...", "I want to automate..." ## Core Commands ### 1. Search for Skills (Semantic Search) ```bash # Search by natural language — ClawHub uses vector search, not just keywords clawhub search "calendar management" clawhub search "send emails automatically" clawhub search "web scraping and automation" clawhub search "image generation from text" ``` Always search with descriptive phrases, not single keywords. ClawHub's vector search understands intent. ### 2. Inspect a Skill Before Installing ```bash # View full details without installing clawhub inspect <skill-slug> ``` This shows the SKILL.md content, metadata, version, required env vars, and dependencies. Always inspect before recommending installation. ### 3. Install a Skill ```bash # Install to current workspace clawhub install <skill-slug> # Or via npx (no global install needed) npx clawhub@latest install <skill-slug> ``` After installing, tell the user to start a new OpenClaw session so the skill is picked up. ### 4. Manage Installed Skills ```bash # List all installed skills clawhub list # Update all skills to latest versions clawhub update --all # Update a specific skill clawhub update <skill-slug> # Remove a skill clawhub uninstall <skill-slug> # Sync and back up skills clawhub sync ``` ### 5. Browse on the Web If CLI search doesn't return enough results, or the user wants to browse visually: - Direct them to: https://clawhub.ai/skills - Specific skill page: https://clawhub.ai/skills/<author>/<skill-name> ## Skill Recommendation Workflow When a user asks for a skill, follow this process: 1. **Understand the need** — Ask what they're trying to accomplish if unclear 2. **Search ClawHub** — Run `clawhub search "<descriptive query>"` with 2-3 different phrasings 3. **Inspect top results** — Run `clawhub inspect <slug>` on the best 2-3 matches 4. **Present recommendations** — For each skill, show: - Name and one-line description - What it requires (env vars, API keys, binaries) - Install command: `clawhub install <slug>` - Link: `https://clawhub.ai/skills/<author>/<name>` 5. **Compare if needed** — If multiple skills do similar things, explain the differences 6. **Security check** — Remind user to review the VirusTotal report on ClawHub before installing ## Security Guidance Always include these warnings when recommending skills: - Skills are community-built and curated, NOT audited - Check the VirusTotal report on the skill's ClawHub page before installing - Review the SKILL.md source code for any suspicious commands - Be cautious with skills that require broad permissions or many env vars - Use `clawhub inspect <slug>` to review before installing - Recommended scanners: Snyk Agent Scan (github.com/snyk/agent-scan), Agent Trust Hub (ai.gendigital.com/agent-trust-hub) ## Skill Categories Reference When searching, use these categories to help narrow results: | Category | Examples | |----------|----------| | Coding & IDEs | Code agents, linting, testing, refactoring | | Web & Frontend | React, CSS, Tailwind, deployment | | DevOps & Cloud | Docker, AWS, CI/CD, monitoring | | Browser & Automation | Web scraping, form filling, screenshots | | Communication | Email, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, SMS | | Productivity & Tasks | Todo lists, project management, time tracking | | Search & Research | Web search, academic papers, data extraction | | AI & LLMs | Model routing, prompt engineering, embeddings | | Image & Video | Generation, editing, thumbnails, screenshots | | Git & GitHub | PR automation, code review, repo management | | Calendar & Scheduling | Events, booking, availability | | Marketing & Sales | SEO, social media, CRM, outreach | | PDF & Documents | Reading, generating, filling, converting | | Notes & PKM | Obsidian, Notion, knowledge management | | Smart Home & IoT | Home Assistant, Alexa, device control | | Security | Scanning, passwords, auditing, encryption | ## Example Interactions **User:** "I need something to manage my Google Calendar" **You:** Run `clawhub search "google calendar management"`, inspect top results, present 2-3 options with install commands. **User:** "Find me a web scraping skill" **You:** Run `clawhub search "web scraping browser automation"`, compare results (e.g. headless browser vs API-based), recommend based on user's use case. **User:** "What skills do I have installed?" **You:** Run `clawhub list` and show the results. **User:** "Is there anything for sending WhatsApp messages?" **You:** Run `clawhub search "whatsapp messaging automation"`, inspect matches, recommend with security notes about messaging permissions. ## Important Notes - ClawHub uses semantic vector search — descriptive queries work better than keywords - Skills are stored in `./skills/` under the current workspace or `~/.openclaw/skills/` globally - Workspace skills take priority over global skills - Installed skills are tracked in `.clawhub/lock.json` - Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file plus optional supporting files - Skills are text-based instruction documents, not compiled code
