Exec ClawHub Publish Doctor

Diagnose and mitigate exec-related tooling failures around ClawHub publishing and GitHub CLI queries (auth, browser-login, missing dependencies, pending secu...

Stabilize ClawHub publishing with preflight checks, safer publish commands, and post-publish verification that tolerates temporary registry states.

Quick workflow

1. Run preflight checks:
   • scripts/clawhub_preflight.sh
2. If login/browser issues appear, follow references/error-map.md.
3. Publish with retry-aware verification:
   • scripts/clawhub_publish_safe.sh <skill_path> <slug> <name> <version> [changelog]
4. For GitHub search failures like Unknown JSON field, use:
   • scripts/gh_search_repos_safe.sh "<query>" [limit]
5. If errors persist, classify with references/error-map.md before escalating.

Standard commands

Preflight

bash scripts/clawhub_preflight.sh

Login (token-based, headless-safe)

clawhub login --token <clh_token>
clawhub whoami

Safe publish

bash scripts/clawhub_publish_safe.sh ./my-skill my-skill "My Skill" 1.0.0 "Initial release"

Manual inspect

clawhub inspect my-skill --json

Safe GitHub repo search (schema-aware)

bash scripts/gh_search_repos_safe.sh "safe-exec skill" 15

Rules

• Prefer token login in server/headless environments.
• Treat inspect errors right after publish as potentially transient for a few minutes.
• Verify with both CLI (clawhub inspect) and web URL (/skills/<slug>).
• For gh search repos --json failures, prefer fullName over unsupported aliases like nameWithOwner, or run scripts/gh_search_repos_safe.sh.
• Use canonical URLs:
  • Skill: https://clawhub.ai/skills/<slug>
  • Owner/slug: https://clawhub.ai/<handle>/<slug>
  • User profile (if available): https://clawhub.ai/users/<handle>

Resources

• references/error-map.md: quick diagnosis for common failure signatures.
• scripts/clawhub_preflight.sh: dependency + environment checks.
• scripts/clawhub_publish_safe.sh: publish + retry verification wrapper.
• scripts/gh_search_repos_safe.sh: resilient gh search repos wrapper with JSON-field mismatch fallback.
