How to Install Skills
ClawHub is the public registry. Skills land in your workspace and load on the next session.
Install the CLI
Run npm i -g clawhub (or follow the latest install notes on clawhub.ai).
Search & install
Browse the marketplace, then install into your workspace:clawhub search calendarclawhub install <skill-slug>
Update & manage
Keep skills current with clawhub update --all. List installs with clawhub list. Prefer sandboxed runs for untrusted skills.
Configure gating
Skills can require binaries, env vars, or config flags. See Skills and Skills config for load-time filters and secrets.
Map Real Use Cases to Skills
Skills are the building blocks. These community patterns show what to look for on ClawHub — not every use case needs a dedicated package.
Newsletter digests, triage, and CRM contact discovery. Look for Gmail/IMAP skills plus summarization.
Morning briefs, family calendars, and appointment tracking. Start with CalDAV or Google Calendar skills.
Route work across Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, and email from one agent — often channel plugins plus task skills.
Drop URLs and notes into chat, then search semantically. Pair memory/RAG skills with vector search tooling.
Daily Reddit/YouTube/tech-news summaries. Combine browser or API skills with scheduled prompts.
Home Assistant control, self-healing servers, and n8n orchestration — hardware and webhook-friendly skills.
Skill Security Checklist
Treat third-party skills as trusted code. ClawHub hosts thousands of community bundles; some have shipped vulnerabilities or malicious behavior. Review before you install.
- Read the skill’s
SKILL.mdand supporting scripts before enabling it. - Prefer sandboxed runs for untrusted inputs and risky tools.
- Never paste API keys into chat; use skill env / config wiring instead.
- Watch for skills that exfiltrate
.envfiles, credentials, or private repos. - See Skills security notes and the gateway Security guide.
What are OpenClaw Skills?
OpenClaw Skills are AgentSkills-compatible folders: each one is a directory with a SKILL.md (YAML frontmatter + instructions) that teaches the agent how to use tools. OpenClaw loads bundled, managed (~/.openclaw/skills), and workspace (<workspace>/skills) skills — workspace wins on name conflicts.
ClawHub (browse at clawhub.ai) is the public registry for discovering, versioning, and installing community skills. For a live catalog with extra filters, you can also open skills.sh in a new tab (embedding is blocked by the site’s frame policy).

Skills FAQ
Common questions about installing and using OpenClaw skills.
Skill vs plugin — what’s the difference?
A skill is usually a SKILL.md bundle that teaches the agent procedures and tool usage. Plugins can ship code plus their own skills directories. Both participate in the same skill precedence rules when enabled.
Where do installed skills live?
By default clawhub installs into ./skills under your working directory (or the configured OpenClaw workspace). Precedence is workspace → ~/.openclaw/skills → bundled.
How do I update skills?
Run clawhub update --all to refresh installed skills. Pin important installs if you need frozen versions that force-reinstalls cannot overwrite.
Can the agent create a skill itself?
Yes — many showcase builds ask OpenClaw to generate a skill in chat (wine cellar, Todoist, Jira, camera shots). Review generated files before trusting them in production.
How do I publish my own skill?
Create a skill folder with SKILL.md, then use clawhub login and clawhub skill publish. Follow the ClawHub docs for versioning, tags, and moderation.
Why can’t I embed ClawHub or skills.sh here?
Those sites send X-Frame-Options / CSP frame-ancestors headers that block iframes. We link out instead and curate starter content on this page for SEO and safety.
