What Are Skills?

Skills are the "hands and eyes" of OpenClaw. Without skills, the AI can only chat; with skills, it can carry out real actions.

Analogy: if the AI model is the "brain", skills are the "tools" — search engines, email clients, browsers and so on.

How It Works

User request → AI understands the intent → picks the right skill → executes the action → returns the result

Example: when a user says "search for the latest OpenClaw tutorials", the AI invokes the "search skill" to run the search and return the results.

The ClawHub Skill Marketplace

ClawHub is OpenClaw's official skill marketplace, listing 13,729+ skills.

Access:

  • Web: clawhub.openclaw.ai
  • CLI: openclaw skill search <keyword>
