Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Manages OpenClaw skills from a single CLI command. Searches a built-in database of 20 skills, local installations, and GitHub repositories using Jaccard similarity scoring. Also scaffolds new skills from templates.
Combines skill discovery, installation, and creation in one command instead of manually browsing GitHub and copying file templates.
When to use it
- Searching for an existing skill before building one from scratch
- Installing a GitHub-hosted skill by keyword
- Listing all skills currently installed in your workspace
- Scaffolding a new skill with the correct file structure
- Browsing the built-in catalog to discover available skills
