What is ClawHub?

ClawHub is the official public registry for OpenClaw Agent skills. It serves as a central directory where developers and users can publish, discover, and install skill packages that extend the functionality of OpenClaw Agents. Each skill is a lightweight package, typically a folder containing a SKILL.md file and supporting resources, that teaches an agent how to perform a specific task, such as integrating with a third-party service or automating a workflow. The platform offers both a web interface for browsing and a command-line interface (CLI) for direct installation and management from development environments. Being free and open-source, ClawHub fosters community collaboration, allowing individuals and teams to easily enhance their agents with community-maintained, reusable capabilities without building every integration from scratch.

Main Features

1. Open Skill Registry: A public central directory for OpenClaw skills, allowing users to browse, search, and inspect skill definitions and files before installation.

2. Semantic Skill Search: Vector-based search enabling users to find relevant skills using natural language queries, improving discovery across thousands of packages.

3. Version Control and Rollback: Semantic versioning with tags, changelogs, and rollback support, allowing maintainers to safely publish updates and users to pin or revert skill versions as needed.

4. CLI-Centric Installation: Command-line workflows for searching, installing, updating, and syncing skills, including one-shot installation, seamlessly integrating into developer tools and automation.

5. Community Signal and Moderation: Star ratings, download counts, comments, and reporting tools help surface trustworthy skills, while moderation features allow hiding or banning abusive content to protect the ecosystem.

6. Open Source with GitHub Integration: An open-source registry supporting GitHub-based authentication, enabling contributors to publish and manage skills through familiar development workflows while maintaining ecosystem transparency.

Use Cases

1. Extending OpenClaw Agent: Developers install skills for services like GitHub, Slack, Notion, calendars, or home automation to give their OpenClaw Agent new capabilities without building each integration from scratch.

2. Publishing and Maintaining Custom Skills: Teams package internal workflows as skills, publish them to ClawHub, and rely on version control and tagging to manage releases, rollbacks, and controlled rollouts across environments.

3. Discovering Production-Ready Workflows: Users search the registry to find battle-tested skills for common tasks like repository management, market research, SEO content workflows, or smart home control, then install them via CLI.

4. Governance and Security Review: Security and platform teams audit skill definitions from a single registry, monitor community signals, and enforce policies on which skills are permitted for OpenClaw Agents in sensitive environments.

5. Rapid Prototyping of Agent Capabilities: Experimenters combine multiple community skills to test compositions in OpenClaw sessions and iterate quickly by swapping or updating skills to refine agent behavior.

6. Ecosystem Collaboration: OpenClaw community members share reusable skills on ClawHub, learn from others' SKILL.md patterns, and collaboratively maintain integrations that would be costly to build and support individually.

Supported Languages

1. The primary interface and documentation appear to be in English.

2. Skill descriptions and content may support multiple languages, as seen with skills like 'ai-news-collectors' which provides Chinese summaries.

Pricing Plans
