OpenClaw SkillHub Manager

Problem Addressed

OpenClaw skill directories can be split across workspace, user-level, and built-in locations. Adding a skill requires choosing the right directory, deciding whether to overwrite an existing skill, and ensuring the runtime notices the change. openclaw-skillhub treats SkillHub as a skill source and gives a consistent entry point for installing, updating, and managing skills, reducing manual copying and path guesswork.

How It Works

Key behaviors include:
- Directory priority: resolves skills in the order /skills, /.agents/skills, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.openclaw/skills, then built-in skills.
- Source management: selects skills from SkillHub across categories such as AI enhancement, information processing, office productivity, search tools, developer tools, knowledge management, and vertical use cases.
- Runtime detection: after installation, OpenClaw picks up new skills automatically without a restart.
- Conflict handling: an existing skill can be overwritten when needed, and directory-related parameter ordering must be respected.

Boundaries and Notes

This skill is intended for environments that already use OpenClaw and SkillHub. It manages the skill package; it does not replace the capability of individual skills. If a directory is missing, permissions are insufficient, or a built-in version shadows a target skill, check the resolution order first. Before overwriting an existing skill, verify its version and local modifications.
