ClawHub Is the Public Skill Registry for OpenClaw Agents

ClawHub launched as the public skill registry for OpenClaw, where developers publish, version, and discover reusable skill packs. Skills are text-based SKILL.md packages searchable via vector embeddings and installable through a CLI. A companion registry at onlycrabs.ai handles agent system-lore files.

ClawHub, the public skill registry for OpenClaw, lets developers publish and install text-based agent skills — each a SKILL.md file plus supporting content — in a versioned, searchable catalog. Discovery runs on OpenAI embeddings rather than keyword matching. The registry also covers a native OpenClaw package catalog for code plugins and bundle plugins.

The project also hosts a companion registry for SOUL.md files — the system lore used by OpenClaw agents. The companion site defaults its home page and navigation to souls rather than skills. Both registries share the same publish-version-search model, with soul bundles currently accepting only SOUL.md with no extra files.

If you're building on OpenClaw, the registry is searchable by plain language — describe a use case and vector search surfaces relevant skills. The CLI supports single-skill publishing and batch sync across multiple skill folders, making it straightforward to contribute to the shared catalog.
