Skills¶
Skills extend the agent with bundled, managed, or workspace-installed capabilities. The skills platform handles install gating, UI, and discovery.
Skill flavors¶
- Bundled — ship with OpenClaw and are always available.
- Managed — pulled from a registry (ClawHub) on demand.
- Workspace — installed by the user (or tenant) into their workspace.
Multi-tenant skills¶
In OpenClawMU, skills are installed in the tenant's workspace at {tenantDir}/workspace/. The config overlay allows per-tenant skill settings, and binary requirements are tracked per skill.
Tenant-allowed skill methods:
skills.status— check skill status.skills.bins— list required binaries.skills.install— install skills.skills.update— update skill settings.
See Multi-Tenancy.
ClawHub (skill registry)¶
ClawHub is a minimal skill registry. With ClawHub enabled, the agent can search for skills automatically and pull in new ones as needed.

Authoring skills¶
The upstream docs/tools/creating-skills.md documents the skill format and authoring workflow. The skills/ directory in the repo contains the bundled skills as reference implementations.
