description

Search, discover, and dynamically load skills from the ClawHub registry at skills.droyd.ai. Use when an agent needs a capability it doesn't have, wants to find tools for a specific task, or needs to browse trending/popular skills. Triggers include requests to find skills, search for tools, discover capabilities, load a skill dynamically, check what skills exist for a domain, or run a skill without installing it. Also use when the user asks about available OpenClaw/ClawHub skills, wants to explore skill categories, or needs to fetch and execute skill content on the fly.

Skill Search

Dynamically search, discover, and load skills from the ClawHub registry without permanent installation.

Base URL: https://skills.droyd.ai

Workflow

1. Search for Skills

Use the search script to find skills by query, category, or tags:

bash scripts/skillhub.sh search "browser automation"
bash scripts/skillhub.sh search "trading" --categories crypto,defi
bash scripts/skillhub.sh search "pdf" --limit 5

2. Browse Trending

Discover popular and high-quality skills:

bash scripts/skillhub.sh trending
bash scripts/skillhub.sh trending --categories coding --window 7d

3. Get Skill Details

Inspect a specific skill's metadata, quality scores, dependencies, and required API keys:

bash scripts/skillhub.sh detail author/skill-name

4. Fetch Skill Content

Retrieve the full skill content (SKILL.md, scripts, references) for reading or execution:

# Print content to stdout
bash scripts/skillhub.sh content author/skill-name

# Extract to a temp folder for agent execution
bash scripts/skillhub.sh content author/skill-name --extract
# Files are written to /tmp/openclaw-skills/skill-name/

When --extract is used, skill files are parsed from the concatenated content response and written to individual files under /tmp/openclaw-skills/{skill-name}/. The agent can then read and execute these files directly.

5. Execute a Loaded Skill

After extracting, read the skill's SKILL.md for instructions:

cat /tmp/openclaw-skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md

Then follow the loaded skill's instructions, running any bundled scripts from the extracted directory.

Categories

Available category filters: devops, browser, productivity, marketing, prediction_markets, location, communication, media, finance, crypto, trading, gaming, defi, image, video, smart-home, security, search, notes, calendar, coding, token_launchpad, voice, email, messaging, social, music, database, monitoring, backup, wallet, food, health, other.

Permanent Installation

To install a skill permanently via ClawHub CLI instead of dynamic loading:

clawhub install {skill_name}
