What is Catch My Skill?
Catch My Skill is a management utility designed to streamline the lifecycle of your development environment by monitoring versioning for Openclaw Skills. It solves the problem of version drift by maintaining a synchronized state between your local workspace and remote registries like ClawHub and GitHub.
The tool is built on a philosophy of high-retention usage, meaning it encourages users to track and maintain only the specific Openclaw Skills they actively use. This prevents workspace bloat while ensuring that your core tools are always running the latest, most secure, and most feature-complete versions.
Catch My Skill Use Cases
- Automatically checking for updates to your Openclaw Skills every 30 minutes via scheduled tasks.
- Comparing local skill versions against the latest releases on GitHub and ClawHub.
- Maintaining a lean workspace by removing tracked skills that are no longer needed.
- Generating visual reports that highlight which local skills are lagging behind online versions.
How Catch My Skill Works
- The skill is triggered manually or via a cron job every 30 minutes.
- It executes a remote fetch to retrieve the latest version metadata from ClawHub.
- It queries the GitHub API to identify updates for skills hosted in git repositories.
- The system compares these online versions against the local records stored in local.json.
- A difference report is generated, categorizing Openclaw Skills as up-to-date, lagging, or new.
- Users receive a notification or alert if an update is required, allowing for targeted manual updates.
