clawhub-deployer（ClawHub deployer 部署）

Publish Skill to ClawHub

Validate, prepare, and publish a skill to the ClawHub registry.

When to Trigger

• User asks to publish / release / deploy a skill to ClawHub
• User mentions clawhub publish or publish skill

Workflow

Step 1: Validate SKILL.md

Check that the target folder contains a valid SKILL.md:

ls TARGET_DIR/SKILL.md
head -20 TARGET_DIR/SKILL.md

Required frontmatter fields:

• name — lowercase + hyphens, must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$
• description
• version — semver format

Recommended fields for cross-platform compatibility:

• allowed-tools — for Claude Code
• metadata.openclaw.requires.env — required environment variables
• metadata.openclaw.requires.bins — required binaries

Step 2: Check files

ClawHub only accepts text files: .md, .py, .txt, .json, .yaml, .toml, .js, .ts, .svg.

Must exclude:

• Images: *.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.ico
• Git: .git/, .gitignore
• License: LICENSE (ClawHub enforces MIT-0 for all skills)
• Environment: .env, .DS_Store

Step 3: Prepare publish folder

Create a folder with only text files:

mkdir -p TARGET_DIR/clawhub-publish
cp TARGET_DIR/SKILL.md TARGET_DIR/*.py TARGET_DIR/*.md TARGET_DIR/*.txt clawhub-publish/
cp -r TARGET_DIR/docs clawhub-publish/docs 2>/dev/null || true

Add clawhub-publish/ to .gitignore to keep the GitHub repo clean.

Step 4: Login

npx clawhub@latest whoami 2>&1 || npx clawhub@latest login

Step 5: Publish

npx clawhub@latest publish TARGET_DIR/clawhub-publish/ \
  --slug SLUG \
  --name "DISPLAY_NAME" \
  --version VERSION \
  --changelog "CHANGELOG" \
  --tags latest

• SLUG: globally unique, lowercase + hyphens
• DISPLAY_NAME: human-readable name, can include spaces
• VERSION: semver (e.g. 1.0.0)
• CHANGELOG: use Initial release. for first publish

Step 6: Verify

npx clawhub@latest inspect SLUG
