It is the shared catalog where skills +are published, discovered, versioned, and moderated. + +## What ClawHub is + +- A public registry for OpenClaw skills. +- A versioned store of skill bundles and metadata. +- A discovery surface for search, tags, and usage signals. + +## How it works + +1. A user publishes a skill bundle (files + metadata). +2. ClawHub stores the bundle, parses metadata, and assigns a version. +3. The registry indexes the skill for search and discovery. +4. Users browse, download, and install skills in OpenClaw. + +## What you can do + +- Publish new skills and new versions of existing skills. +- Discover skills by name, tags, or search. +- Download skill bundles and inspect their files. +- Report skills that are abusive or unsafe. +- If you are a moderator, hide, unhide, delete, or ban. + +## Skill system overview + +A skill is a versioned bundle of files that teaches OpenClaw how to perform a +specific task. Each publish creates a new version, and the registry keeps a +history of versions so users can audit changes. + +A typical skill includes: + +- A `SKILL.md` file with the primary description and usage. +- Optional configs, scripts, or supporting files used by the skill. +- Metadata such as tags, summary, and install requirements. + +ClawHub uses metadata to power discovery and safely expose skill capabilities. +The registry also tracks usage signals (such as stars and downloads) to improve +ranking and visibility. + +## Security and moderation + +ClawHub is open by default. Anyone can upload skills, but a GitHub account must +be at least one week old to publish. This helps slow down abuse without blocking +legitimate contributors. + +Reporting and moderation: + +- Any signed in user can report a skill. +- Report reasons are required and recorded. +- Each user can have up to 20 active reports at a time. +- Skills with more than 3 unique reports are auto hidden by default. +- Moderators can view hidden skills, unhide them, delete them, or ban users. +- Abusing the report feature can result in account bans. + +Want to help moderate? Ask in the OpenClaw Discord and contact a moderator or +maintainer.
