| description | Manage skills and external skill sources. |
Manage skills from the CLI — list what's installed, validate new ones, wire up external sources. None of these commands need a running daemon.
Skills are markdown files following the AgentSkills.io format: a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter describing what the skill does, what tools it needs, and how to invoke it. At runtime, the agent sees a compressed skill index on every session and reads full skill content on demand — skills inject procedural knowledge into context without bloating the base prompt.
netclaw skill [subcommand] [options]
Running netclaw skill with no subcommand defaults to list.
| Subcommand | Description |
|---|---|
list | List all discovered skills (default) |
show <name> | Show skill details and full content |
validate <path> | Validate a SKILL.md file's frontmatter |
remove <name> | Remove a native skill |
issues | Show only scanner issues |
search <query> | Search skills by name or description |
source list | List configured external sources |
source add <name> --path <dir> | Add a custom external source |
source add <name> --well-known <alias> | Add a well-known source |
source remove <name> | Remove an external source |
source enable <name> | Enable an external source |
source disable <name> | Disable an external source |
Three categories:
| Source | Location | Mutable? |
|---|---|---|
system | ~/.netclaw/skills/.system/ | No — managed by the daemon |
native | ~/.netclaw/skills/ | Yes — user-created |
external | Configured source directories | Manage at source |
For a deeper look at how skills fit into netclaw's architecture, see Skills Overview.

Catch frontmatter problems before deploying:
netclaw skill validate ./my-skill/SKILL.md
[OK] Valid skill file.
Name: my-skill
Description: Does something useful.

Once validated, drop the skill into ~/.netclaw/skills/ (directory-based or flat file) and it'll appear on the next netclaw skill list.
A failing file tells you exactly what's wrong:
netclaw skill validate ./broken-skill.md
[FAIL] MissingDescription: Skill file missing required 'description' field.
netclaw skill search "testing"

netclaw skill remove my-old-skill
Only native skills can be removed — system and external skills are read-only here.
Point netclaw at skill directories from other tools (Claude Code, Open Code) or shared team paths.
Note: Skill feeds are a separate concept — server-based skill repositories synced by the daemon. This section covers local directory sources only.
netclaw skill source list
NAME ENABLED TYPE PATH / WELL-KNOWN
claude-skills yes well-known claude-code
team-shared yes path /opt/skills/team
When no sources are configured, netclaw checks for well-known directories and nudges you:
No external skill sources configured.
Detected well-known skill directories on disk:
claude-code /home/user/.claude/skills
Add one with: netclaw skill source add <name> --well-known <alias>
netclaw skill source add my-claude --well-known claude-code
The aliases map to these paths:
| Alias | Scans |
|---|---|
claude-code | ~/.claude/skills/, ~/.claude/commands/, plus installed plugin marketplaces |
open-code | ~/.open-code/skills/ |
During netclaw init, you're prompted to configure external skill sources:
The init wizard detects well-known directories automatically.
netclaw skill source add team-skills --path /opt/company/skills
The directory must exist. Netclaw scans for both directory-based skills (skill-name/SKILL.md) and flat files (skill-name.md).
netclaw skill source disable team-skills
netclaw skill source enable team-skills
Disabled sources stay in config but won't be scanned.
netclaw skill source remove team-skills
Removes the config entry only — skill files in the directory are untouched.
Two layouts work:
Directory-based:
my-skill/
SKILL.md
scripts/
helper.sh
references/
api-docs.md
assets/
diagram.png
Flat file:
my-skill.md
The SKILL.md frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill
description: One-line description of what this skill does.
metadata:
version: 1.0.0
license: MIT
compatibility: ["netclaw", "claude-code"]
allowed-tools: "bash git"
disable-model-invocation: false
user-invocable: true

The display name is derived from the first # heading in the markdown body, falling back to title-casing the skill name.
