Publishing Guide — Universal Skill Release Checklist

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 3, 2026.

Overview

This is an instruction-only publishing checklist with no code or credentials, though users should review public publishing commands and customize the promotional links before using it.

This appears safe as a checklist. Before using it, review any files you plan to publish, run commands manually, and replace the template's PayPal, GitHub, and author fields with your own information.

Findings (2)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

A user could accidentally publish unintended files or metadata if they run the command without checking the directory contents first.

Why it was flagged

The guide includes a command that can publish the current directory to a public skill registry. This is expected for a publishing guide, but it is still a high-impact user action if run in the wrong place.

Skill content
| **ClawHub** | `npx clawhub publish . --slug <slug>` | OpenClaw users |
Recommendation

Run publishing commands manually, from the intended skill directory, and inspect the files before publishing.

What this means

A released skill could unintentionally promote or attribute payment links to someone else.

Why it was flagged

The universal template includes the publisher's donation and GitHub links, which could be copied into a user's own published skills if followed mechanically.

Skill content
- [ ] **PayPal + GitHub links** — at end of every SKILL.md ... If this saved you time: [☕ PayPal.me/nerudek](https://www.paypal.me/nerudek) GitHub: [github.com/nerua1](https://github.com/nerua1)
Recommendation

Replace the author, PayPal, and GitHub links with the user's own details, or remove them entirely before publishing.
