About
Skill directory for OpenClaw — discover and install agent skills from the community, the App Store of the vibecoding agent stack.
What it does
ClawHub manages versioned, text-based agent skills and OpenClaw plugins. Users browse or search the catalog, inspect packages, install them locally, freeze selected installs, update them, and publish new versions through a web interface, command-line client, or HTTP API.
Why it's ranked here
ClawHub covers the full artifact lifecycle, not just discovery. It combines versioning, publishing, local install tracking, semantic search, ownership redirects, moderation, and security scans. That breadth makes it useful infrastructure for teams already committed to OpenClaw, while its ecosystem focus limits broader use.
What's good
Pinned installs resist updates and forced reinstalls, which protects deliberate local states. Publishing detects unchanged content and supports dry runs, automatic version increments, tags, and changelogs. Renames preserve old links, merges redirect duplicates, and security findings remain available to publishers through downloadable reports.
Tradeoffs
The service depends on Convex for storage and backend operations, GitHub OAuth for authentication, and OpenAI embeddings for semantic search. Logged-in installs send minimal telemetry unless disabled. Publishing assigns skills the MIT-0 license, and the registry does not support paid skills or per-skill pricing.
How to use it well
Use ClawHub when an OpenClaw team needs repeatable discovery, inspection, installation, updates, publishing, and moderation from one catalog. Inspect artifacts before installation, pin locally modified skills, and dry-run releases in automation. Choose another system for paid distribution or for packages outside the OpenClaw skill and plugin model.
Technical notes+
The monorepo in package.json uses Bun workspaces for packages/clawhub, packages/clawhub-admin, and packages/schema. src/server.ts provides the TanStack Start server entry, streams responses, and installs a nonce-based content security policy. src/routes/skills/index.tsx and src/routes/plugins/index.tsx implement catalog browsing, filtering, search, pagination, and server-loaded initial data. packages/clawhub/src/cli.ts defines the public Commander-based CLI, while packages/clawhub-admin/src/cli.ts separates privileged moderation operations. packages/schema/src/index.ts exports shared schemas and API routes. docs/cli.md documents global npm or pnpm installation, HTTP endpoints, proxy support, lockfile behavior, publishing, and scan-report retrieval.
