OpenClaw Skills Marketplace: Finding & Publishing Skills

OpenClaw Skills Marketplace: Finding & Publishing Skills on ClawHub ClawHub is the official marketplace for OpenClaw skills, hosting over 13,700 community-built capabilities as of April 2026. Skills extend what your OpenClaw agent can do: from SEO keyword research and CRM management to invoice processing and code deployment. This guide covers how to navigate ClawHub effectively, evaluate skills for security and quality, install them properly, and publish your own skills to the community.

ClawHub organizes skills into categories: productivity, marketing, development, data, communication, finance, and more. Each skill listing includes a description, author, star count, download count, last updated date, compatibility information, and security scan status. Use the search function to find skills by keyword, or browse categories to discover capabilities you did not know existed. The clawhub CLI is the primary interface for managing skills. Use clawhub search [keyword] to find skills, clawhub info [skill-name] for details, and clawhub install [skill-name] to install. The CLI handles dependency resolution, version compatibility, and registration with your OpenClaw instance automatically.

Evaluating Skills Before Installation

Not all skills are created equal. After the discovery of 341+ malicious skills in early 2026, ClawHub implemented SHA-256 hash verification and VirusTotal scanning for all published skills. However, security scanning catches malware, not poor code quality. Evaluate skills on these criteria: star count and download volume (social proof of quality), last updated date (abandoned skills may have unpatched vulnerabilities), author reputation (check their GitHub profile and other contributions), source code review (always read the code, especially for skills that access credentials or sensitive data), and dependency chain (check what packages the skill installs).

Installing Skills Safely

For a broader introduction, read our OpenClaw business guide.

Always install skills in a test environment before deploying to production. Review the skill's permissions: what files does it access, what network requests does it make, what tools does it register. Pin to specific versions rather than allowing automatic updates. For enterprise deployments, maintain an approved skill list and require security team review before any new skill is added.

Publishing Your Own Skills

Publishing to ClawHub is straightforward: create your skill directory with SKILL.md and any supporting scripts, create a ClawHub account, run clawhub publish from your skill directory, pass the automated security scan, and write clear documentation with usage examples. Well-documented skills with practical use cases gain traction quickly. Include a README with installation instructions, configuration options, example prompts, and common troubleshooting steps.
