## 🔧 How It Works

### Installation Process

1. **Fetch Skill Metadata**: Retrieves skill information from ClawHub API
2. **Download ZIP Package**: Downloads the skill's zip archive
3. **Extract Files**: Unzips to a temporary directory
4. **Version Management**: Removes version suffix from folder name (e.g., `todoist-1.2.3` → `todoist`)
5. **Install**: Moves to final destination
6. **Cleanup**: Removes temporary files

### Rate Limit Handling

- **Automatic Detection**: Detects when rate limit is hit
- **Intelligent Retry**: Waits 60 seconds before retrying
- **Exponential Backoff**: Progressive delays for repeated failures
- **Graceful Fallback**: Falls back to ClawHub CLI if direct API fails

## 📋 Requirements

### System Requirements

- **Node.js**: >= 18.0.0
- **Operating System**: macOS, Linux, or Windows
- **Tools**: curl, unzip (usually pre-installed on Unix systems)

### ClawHub Account

- ClawHub CLI installed: `npm install -g clawhub`
- Logged in: `npx clawhub login`

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

1. **Download the skill**:
   ```bash
   cd /path/to/your/skills/folder
   git clone https://github.com/sunnyhot/skill-installer.git clawhub-skill-installer
   cd clawhub-skill-installer
   ```

2. **Make it executable** (Unix systems):
   ```bash
   chmod +x install.cjs
   ```

3. **Test it**:
   ```bash
   node install.cjs search test
   ```

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Search for skills
node install.cjs search twitter

# Install a skill
node install.cjs install x-research

# Install multiple skills
node install.cjs install-batch todoist gog telegram stock-monitor
```

## 📖 Configuration

### Default Settings

- **Skills Directory**: `/Users/xufan65/.openclaw/workspace/skills/`
- **Temporary Directory**: `/tmp/clawhub-downloads/`
- **Batch Install Delay**: 3 seconds
- **Rate Limit Wait**: 60 seconds

### Customization

You can modify these variables at the top of `install.cjs`:

```javascript
const SKILLS_DIR = '/path/to/your/skills/folder';
const TEMP_DIR = '/tmp/your-temp-folder';
const BATCH_DELAY = 5000; // 5 seconds
const RATE_LIMIT_WAIT = 90000; // 90 seconds
```

## 🛠️ Advanced Usage

### Verbose Mode

Add `--verbose` flag for detailed logging:

```bash
node install.cjs install todoist --verbose
```

### Specific Version

Install a specific version:

```bash
node install.cjs install todoist@1.2.3
```

### Force Reinstall

Overwrite existing skill:

```bash
node install.cjs install todoist --force
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Issue: "Cannot find module"

**Solution**: Ensure you're running from the skill directory:
```bash
cd /path/to/clawhub-skill-installer
node install.cjs install <skill-name>
```

### Issue: "Rate limit exceeded"

**Solution**: The script automatically handles this, but you can:
- Wait a few minutes before retrying
- Use batch install mode (adds delays automatically)
- Reduce concurrent installations

### Issue: "Permission denied"

**Solution** (Unix systems):
```bash
chmod +x install.cjs
```

### Issue: "ClawHub CLI not found"

**Solution**:
```bash
npm install -g clawhub
npx clawhub login
```
