clawhub is an OpenClaw skill for searching, verifying, installing, updating, and publishing agent skills via openclaw skills and the clawhub CLI.
About
ClawHub teaches OpenClaw agents to discover, install, verify, update, and publish skills from the public registry at clawhub.ai. Discovery starts with openclaw skills search before claiming a capability is unavailable. Before installation the agent must verify the selected skill with openclaw skills verify, treat third-party packages as untrusted, and obtain user approval. Install supports pinned versions and --global for shared local agent installs visible unless allowlists narrow scope. Maintenance commands cover openclaw skills list, check, update for one skill or --all. Publishing workflows use the standalone clawhub CLI after npm i -g clawhub, clawhub login, clawhub whoami, then clawhub skill publish or clawhub sync --all for publisher accounts. The skill separates day-to-day openclaw skills management from clawhub publisher operations. Default installs land in the active workspace while global installs share skills across local agents on the machine.
- openclaw skills search discovers registry skills before claiming a capability is missing.

- Supports version-pinned install, per-skill update, --all updates, and --global shared installs.
- Standalone clawhub CLI handles login, publish, versioned publish, and sync --all publisher flows.
