Hermes Skill Publishing Guide

Guide to publishing and sharing Hermes skills through ClawHub, including safe login practices, release hygiene, and security scan preparation.

When to use

• You are preparing a skill for ClawHub publication.
• You need to update a published skill version.
• You want a short checklist for passing the security scan.

Safe login

Prefer reading the token privately instead of pasting it directly into a shared command line history.

read -s CLAWHUB_TOKEN
clawhub login --token "$CLAWHUB_TOKEN" --no-browser
unset CLAWHUB_TOKEN

Publish a skill

clawhub publish /path/to/skill-folder \
  --slug "skill-slug" \
  --name "Display Name" \
  --version "1.0.0" \
  --changelog "What changed in this release" \
  --tags "latest,tag1,tag2"

Useful commands

• clawhub whoami
• clawhub inspect <slug>
• clawhub search <query>
• clawhub delete <slug>
• clawhub skill merge <source-slug> <target-slug>

Security scan checklist

Before publishing:

• Remove secrets, tokens, and internal URLs.
• Remove fake commands or instructions for tools that are not actually included.
• Use official download sources only.
• Avoid hardcoded system paths and unsafe command examples.
• Keep examples focused on the skill's real behavior.
• Rewrite or remove anything that could look like exfiltration, persistence, or privilege escalation.

Release hygiene

• Bump the version every time you republish.
• Keep the changelog factual and short.
• Use English titles and descriptions if the target audience is broad.
• Merge or delete duplicate skills so only the canonical version remains active.
