ClawHub Publisher

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
