Adding Your Own Skill

Skills.sh automatically indexes GitHub repos containing SKILL.md files. To add your skill:

1. Create a skill folder with SKILL.md in your GitHub repo
2. Publish to ClawdHub for Clawdbot-specific discovery:

   clawdhub publish ./your-skill/ --slug your-skill --name "Your Skill" --version 1.0.0
   

3. Install in Clawdbot:

   clawdhub install your-skill
   

Notes

• Queries https://skills.sh/api/skills (official skills.sh API)
• Results sorted by install count (most popular first)
• Clawdbot-only: Install via clawdhub install skills-search
• Skills.sh leaderboard requires GitHub repo (not needed for ClawdHub-only skills)
