Intermediate1-2 hoursUpdated 2025-01-14

ClawHub is the official marketplace for OpenClaw skills. Publishing your skill makes it discoverable to thousands of users and establishes you as a contributor to the OpenClaw ecosystem. This guide walks through the entire publishing process: preparation, submission, review, and post-publish management.

Why This Is Hard to Do Yourself

These are the common pitfalls that trip people up.

๐Ÿ“‹

ClawHub review requirements

ClawHub has strict quality, security, and documentation standards. Many first-time submissions are rejected for missing details

๐Ÿ”’

Permission justification

Reviewers scrutinize every permission your skill requests. You need clear justification for each one

๐Ÿ“ธ

Screenshots and demo quality

Your skill listing needs professional screenshots and a working demo video. Low-quality visuals lead to rejection

๐Ÿ›

Post-publish bug reports

Once published, users will find edge cases you missed. You need a plan for handling bug reports and updates

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare your skill for publishing

Warning: ClawHub reviewers will reject skills that request unnecessary permissions. Only request what you actually need and explain why in your README.

Step 2

Create a ClawHub account

Step 3

Write skill metadata and description

Warning: Your tagline is the first thing users see. Make it compelling and specific. "Automates email" is weak. "Turns meeting notes into calendar events and follow-up emails" is strong.

Step 4

Add screenshots and demo video

Step 5

Submit for review

Warning: The permission justification section is critical. For each permission, explain exactly what you use it for and why it's necessary. Vague justifications lead to rejection.

Step 6

Handle review feedback

Step 7

Manage updates and user feedback
