Exec ClawHub Publish Doctor

Diagnose and mitigate exec-related tooling failures around ClawHub publishing and GitHub CLI queries (auth, browser-login, missing dependencies, pending security-scan visibility errors, wrong profile/skill URLs, and gh JSON-field mismatch errors like Unknown JSON field). Use when publishing skills to ClawHub fails, inspect reports temporary errors, or GitHub CLI search commands fail due to field schema differences.

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

bash scripts/clawhub_preflight.sh

Login (token-based, headless-safe)

bash

clawhub login --token <clh_token>
clawhub whoami

Safe publish

bash

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

Manual inspect

bash

clawhub inspect my-skill --json

Safe GitHub repo search (schema-aware)

bash

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.
