Commands

openclaw skills search "calendar"
openclaw skills search --limit 20 --json

openclaw skills install <slug> --version <version>
openclaw skills install <slug> --force
openclaw skills install <slug> --agent <id>
openclaw skills install <slug> --global
openclaw skills update <slug>
openclaw skills update <slug> --global
openclaw skills update --all
openclaw skills update --all --agent <id>
openclaw skills update --all --global
openclaw skills list

openclaw skills list --json
openclaw skills list --verbose

openclaw skills check
openclaw skills check --agent <id>
openclaw skills check --json

search/install/update use ClawHub directly. By default, install and update target the active workspace skills/ directory; with --global, they target the shared managed skills directory. list/info/check still inspect the local skills visible to the current workspace and config. Workspace-backed commands resolve the target workspace from --agent <id>, then the current working directory when it is inside a configured agent workspace, then the default agent.

This CLI install command downloads skill folders from ClawHub. Gateway-backed skill dependency installs triggered from onboarding or Skills settings use the separate skills.install request path instead.

Notes:

search [query...] accepts an optional query; omit it to browse the default ClawHub search feed.
search --limit <n> caps returned results.
install --force overwrites an existing workspace skill folder for the same slug.
--global targets the shared managed skills directory and cannot be combined with --agent <id>.
--agent <id> targets one configured agent workspace and overrides current working directory inference.
update <slug> updates a single tracked skill. Add --global to target the shared managed skills directory instead of the workspace.
update --all updates tracked ClawHub installs in the selected workspace, or in the shared managed skills directory when combined with --global.
check --agent <id> checks the selected agent's workspace and reports which ready skills are actually visible to that agent's prompt or command surface.
list is the default action when no subcommand is provided.
list, info, and check write their rendered output to stdout. With --json, that means the machine-readable payload stays on stdout for pipes and scripts.
