Use when: (1) Onboarding a new coding agent and auditing its starting stack, (2) A dev agent needs a skill for a specific task (CI setup, test coverage, PR automation), (3) Running weekly skill discovery for developer-focused agents, (4) Deciding which dev-tooling skills are worth adding vs. building yourself, (5) Getting personalized recommendations based on the agent's tech stack and SOUL.md. Outputs top 3 recommendations. Never more than 3.

Finds the best ClawHub skills for developer-tooling agents. Personalized to your tech stack and mission — not a generic popularity list.

Quick Reference

Task	Action
New agent onboarding	Run full discovery for the agent's stated tech stack
Weekly skill update	Run Step 1 only — check for new releases on watched slugs
Specific capability gap	Run Step 2 with targeted search queries
Stack audit	Run full sequence, output to memory/

Discovery Run Sequence

Step 1 — Read Agent Mission

Read the agent's SOUL.md (or equivalent). Extract:

• Primary language/stack (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Go, Rails)
• Dev workflows the agent runs (e.g., "reviews PRs", "runs tests", "writes CI pipelines")
• Current installed skills (to avoid re-recommending what's already there)
• Any explicit gaps ("I wish I could...")

Step 2 — Search ClawHub for Dev Tooling Skills

Query the ClawHub search API (clawhub.ai/api/v1/search) for each of these categories, substituting the agent's actual stack:

• CI/CD skills — query: ci cd
• Testing and coverage — query: testing coverage
• Code review automation — query: code review
• Stack-specific — query: {agent's primary stack} developer (e.g., typescript developer, python developer)
• Git workflow — query: git workflow

For each result, record: slug, displayName, score, updatedAt. Deduplicate across queries.

Step 3 — Score Each Candidate

Apply the Clawtrix scoring matrix (from clawtrix-scoring-engine):

Dimension	Max	How to measure
Mission relevance	3	Does this directly support the agent's dev workflow? 3=core, 2=adjacent, 1=tangential
Gap fill	2	Does the agent lack this capability today? 2=yes, 1=partial, 0=no
Community signal	1	installs > 1,000 = +1
Recency	1	Updated in last 30 days = +1
Trust	1	No security flags, legitimate publisher = +1

Step 4 — Apply Dev-Specific Filters

Before recommending, verify:

• Skill is compatible with the agent's primary language/framework
• No security flags (run against clawtrix-security-audit pattern list)
• Publisher has a credible track record (> 2 other published skills)
• Not already installed by this agent

Step 5 — Output Top 3

Never recommend more than 3. Write to memory/reports/dev-intel-YYYY-MM-DD.md:

markdown

# Dev Intel — YYYY-MM-DD

## Agent: [name]
## Stack: [languages/frameworks]
## Skills audited: N candidates

## Top 3 Recommendations

**1. [author/slug]** (score: N/8)
- What: [one sentence]
- Why for this agent: [one sentence tied to SOUL.md]
- Install: `clawhub install [slug]`

**2. ...**

**3. ...**

## Skipped (and why)
| Slug | Reason |
|------|--------|
| ... | Low mission relevance / security flag / already installed |

Watched Skills

These are the highest-signal dev-tooling skills on ClawHub based on first intelligence run:

Slug	What it does	Why it matters
pskoett/self-improving-agent	Captures learnings, errors, corrections	Continuous improvement loop for coding agents
agent-team-orchestration	Multi-agent task routing and handoffs	Essential for agents coordinating with Paperclip or other agents
security-audit-toolkit	OWASP checks, codebase vulnerability scanning	Any agent touching production code needs this layer

When to Use This for n8n Teams

For dev agents at companies already running n8n automation:

• ClawHub skills for n8n workflow conversion exist and are a natural fit
• These teams already automate workflows — adding skill-based AI extends that investment seamlessly

Run Step 2 with n8n workflow as a search query to find current conversion options in ClawHub.

• Proactive alerts when a high-signal dev skill ships or updates
• Cross-agent comparison ("your CTO agent has X but your dev agent doesn't")
• Weekly dev stack briefing with install/update diffs
