ClawHub Publisher

Use the bundled ClawHub Publisher CLI to validate, prepare, zip, and publish OpenClaw skills to ClawHub with clearer validation, cleaner packaging, and safer publish prompts.

Use this skill when you need to turn a local OpenClaw skill folder into a publish-ready ClawHub package.

This repository also ships the matching CLI implementation used by the skill, and the project is intentionally self-publishable.

What it does

• validates a skill folder before publish
• detects common blockers like:
  • missing SKILL.md
  • broken YAML frontmatter
  • missing name / description
  • missing README
  • blank hook files
  • hook references that point to missing files
• prepares a cleaned publish-ready output bundle
• optionally exports a zip archive
• runs the final clawhub publish command with explicit metadata
• asks for final confirmation before publishing unless you pass --yes

Preferred workflow

From the project root:

npm install
npm run build

Use the built CLI:

node dist/index.js validate "/path/to/skill"
node dist/index.js prepare "/path/to/skill" --zip
node dist/index.js publish "/path/to/skill"

Fast non-interactive publish example

node dist/index.js publish "/path/to/skill" \
  --no-prompt \
  --slug my-skill \
  --name "My Skill" \
  --skill-version 0.1.1 \
  --changelog "Polished validation and publish UX" \
  --tags latest \
  --yes

Notes

• clawhub CLI login is still required for the final publish step.
• prepared output is written under .clawhub-publisher/
• the source skill folder is left untouched
