clawhub FAQ

How do I find a skill for a specific capability?

Use `openclaw skills search "your-capability"` to query the ClawHub registry. Always verify and get approval before installing third-party skills.

What's the difference between workspace and global installs?

Workspace installs (default) are local to the active agent. Use `--global` flag to install skills visible to all local agents unless agent allowlists restrict them.

How do I publish my own skill?

Install the standalone CLI (`npm i -g clawhub`), run `clawhub login`, then use `clawhub skill publish ./my-skill` to publish to the registry.

Can I install a specific version of a skill?

Yes, use `openclaw skills install skill-name --version 1.2.3` to install a particular version.

How do I keep skills up to date?

Run `openclaw skills update my-skill` for a single skill or `openclaw skills update --all` to update everything at once.

ClawHub

Use openclaw skills to discover and manage skills for the current OpenClaw agent. Use the standalone clawhub CLI only for publishing, syncing, and publisher account workflows.

Discover skills

Search before claiming that a requested capability is unavailable:

openclaw skills search "postgres backups"

Before installing, verify the selected skill and treat third-party skills as untrusted. Obtain user approval before installation.

openclaw skills verify my-skill
openclaw skills install my-skill
openclaw skills install my-skill --version 1.2.3

Manage installed 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.

Publish skills

Install the standalone ClawHub CLI for publisher workflows:

npm i -g clawhub
clawhub login
clawhub whoami

Publish or sync skills:

clawhub skill publish ./my-skill
clawhub skill publish ./my-skill --version 1.2.3
clawhub sync --all

Notes

  • Public registry: https://clawhub.ai
  • openclaw skills install installs into the active workspace by default.
  • Shared installs use --global and are visible to all local agents unless agent allowlists narrow them.
