What is Skill Publisher?
Skill Publisher is a purpose-built utility designed to streamline the distribution pipeline for developers creating Openclaw Skills. It handles the transition from local development to public availability by managing packaging, GitHub repository synchronization, and ClawHub registry submission in a unified workflow.
By leveraging existing CLI tools like GitHub's gh and the ClawHub registry client, this skill ensures that Openclaw Skills are properly validated, versioned, and scanned for security. It serves as the final link in the development chain, transforming a local skill folder into a discoverable asset for the broader ecosystem.
Skill Publisher Use Cases
- Packaging a local skill folder for standard distribution.
- Automatically creating and pushing Openclaw Skills to public GitHub repositories.
- Submitting verified versions of a skill to the ClawHub registry.
- Synchronizing updates and managing semantic versioning across platforms.
- Forking existing Openclaw Skills to create customized variations.
How Skill Publisher Works
- Validation: The skill checks the local directory for a mandatory SKILL.md file and valid YAML frontmatter.
- Packaging: Files including assets, scripts, and references are bundled according to the Openclaw Skills directory structure.
- GitHub Sync: The tool initializes a Git repository and uses the GitHub CLI to create a remote and push the source code.
- ClawHub Publication: The packaged assets are uploaded to the ClawHub registry using the npx clawhub CLI.
- Security Verification: The registry performs an automated security scan before making the skill searchable and public.
Skill Publisher Setup
Ensure you have the following CLI tools authenticated on your system:
# Authenticate GitHub CLI
gh auth login

npx clawhub login
To run the full pipeline for your Openclaw Skills, navigate to your skill folder and execute:
scripts/publish.sh /path/to/skill-folder --repo owner/repo-name --version 1.0.0
