Publish Skills Safely
Transform any knowledge into a publishable skill. Sanitize personal data, format correctly, verify before publishing.
Key principle: Never modify user's original files. Create clean publish-ready version separately.

When to Use
- User wants to publish existing skill/instructions to ClawHub
- User wants to share knowledge they've developed locally
- User has content in any format that should become a public skill
The Process
- Understand — What knowledge/skill exists? Where is it?
- Transform — Convert to proper skill format (see
transform.md) - Sanitize — Remove personal/dangerous content (see
sanitize.md) - Verify — Confirm with user before publishing (see
verify.md) - Publish — Only after explicit approval
Critical Rules
⚠️ Never modify original files — Create separate publish version
⚠️ Never publish without sanitization — Check sanitize.md
⚠️ Never publish without user approval — Always verify first
⚠️ When in doubt, include more — User can remove, harder to add later
Asking the User
Before transforming, clarify:
- What should be PUBLIC vs kept private?
- Any specific names/references to remove?
- Target audience (beginners, experts, specific domain)?
- Desired slug/name for ClawHub?
Always run sanitize.md checklist before any publish.
