description: "Search ClawHub for skills when a requested capability is not already available; install, verify, update, uninstall, publish, or sync skills."

ClawHub

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.

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.

Remove an installed skill

Obtain user approval before uninstalling. If the standalone ClawHub CLI is not installed, install it explicitly:

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:

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.
