Prerequisites

GitHub Account

1. Username
2. Personal Access Token
   • Generate at: https://github.com/settings/tokens
   • Required Permissions:
     • ✅ repo (full repository access)
     • ✅ admin:repo_hook (for auto-creation)
   • Format: ghp_xxxxx...

Note: Auto-create feature requires GitHub API access. Token must have permissions to create repos under your account.

2. Database ID (or parent page ID)

Usage

Method 1: From ZIP Files (Manual Repo Creation)

I want to publish 5 skills to GitHub and ClawHub.

**GitHub Account**:
- Username: YourUsername
- Token: ghp_xxxxx...

**ClawHub Account**:
- Token: clh_xxxxx...

**Skills**: [send ZIP files]

Assistant will:

1. Extract and prepare skills
2. Tell you which GitHub repos to create
3. Push to GitHub (once you confirm repos are created)
4. Publish to ClawHub
5. Provide all links

Method 2: From SkillBoss.co (Fully Automated) 🆕

Auto-publish skills from SkillBoss.co.

**GitHub**:
- Username: YourUsername
- Token: ghp_xxxxx... (must have 'repo' permission)

**ClawHub**:
- Token: clh_xxxxx...

**SkillBoss URLs**:
- https://skillboss.co/skills/ai-helper
- https://skillboss.co/skills/code-reviewer
- https://skillboss.co/skills/data-analyzer

OR just say: "Get top 5 skills from SkillBoss.co"

Assistant will:

1. ✅ Scrape skill pages from skillboss.co
2. ✅ Download skill ZIPs (if available)
3. ✅ Auto-create GitHub repos via GitHub API
4. ✅ Push to GitHub
5. ✅ Publish to ClawHub
6. ✅ Provide all links

Zero manual steps!

With Notion Tracking

Publish skills and track in Notion.

**Notion Token**: ntn_xxxxx...
**Notion Database**: https://www.notion.so/xxxxx... (or database ID)

[rest same as basic usage]

Assistant will also update Notion with:

• Skill Name
• GitHub Account
• GitHub Link
• ClawHub Link
• Stars (initial: 0)

Multi-Batch Publishing

For multiple GitHub accounts (to avoid spam detection):

Day 1:

Publish batch 1 with Account A

Day 2 (different account):

Publish batch 2 with Account B

⚠️ Rate Limiting: GitHub may flag frequent account switching. Recommended:

• Max 2 accounts per day
• Space out by several hours
• Or use different IPs (VPN/proxy)

Scripts

scrape-skillboss.py (Playwright Auto-Discovery)

Purpose: Automatically discover all skills on SkillBoss.co

Requirements:

• Python 3.7+
• Playwright: pip install playwright && playwright install chromium

Usage:

cd skills/skill-publisher/scripts
python3 scrape-skillboss.py

Output:

• /tmp/skillboss-all-skills.txt - List of discovered skill IDs
• /tmp/skillboss-skills-page.png - Screenshot for debugging

How it works:

1. Launches headless Chromium browser
2. Visits https://www.skillboss.co/skills
3. Scrolls page multiple times to load content
4. Extracts all /skills/{id} URLs
5. Filters and deduplicates skill IDs
6. Saves to text file

Limitations:

• Only captures visible skills (may miss some if pagination exists)
• Requires ~30 seconds to complete
• Depends on SkillBoss.co website structure

Testing (2026-04-14):

• ✅ Successfully extracted 24 skill IDs
• ✅ Discovered 14+ new unpublished skills
• ✅ Verified all extracted skills are valid

create-github-repo.sh (Deprecated)

Superseded by automatic repo creation via GitHub API.

Slug Naming Strategy

ClawHub slugs must be unique. Strategy:

1. Check original name first
2. If taken, use prefix: username-skill-name
3. If still taken, add number: username-skill-name-2

Example:

• Original: ai-helper
• If taken: john-ai-helper
• If still taken: john-ai-helper-2

Error Handling

GitHub Errors

Repository not found:

• Check repo was created
• Verify repo name exactly matches

Authentication failed:

• Check token hasn't expired
• Verify token has repo permission

Rate limit:

• Wait an hour
• Switch accounts/IPs

ClawHub Errors

Slug already taken:

• Automatic retry with username prefix

Token expired:

• Generate new token at clawhub.ai/settings/tokens

Slug locked (deleted account):

• Use different slug
• Contact security@openclaw.ai to reclaim

Notion Errors

Database not found:

• Verify database ID
• Check Integration has access to database

Invalid properties:

• Database must have these columns:
  • Skill Name (title)
  • GitHub Account (text)
  • GitHub Link (url)
  • ClawHub Link (url)
  • Stars (number)

Best Practices

Security

• ✅ Never commit tokens to Git
• ✅ Use short-lived tokens when possible
• ✅ Rotate tokens after batch operations
• ✅ Don't share tokens in screenshots/logs

Quality

• ✅ Review SKILL.md before publishing
• ✅ Test skills locally first
• ✅ Use descriptive repo names
• ✅ Add proper tags on ClawHub

Organization

• ✅ Keep Notion tracker updated
• ✅ Use consistent naming (prefixes)
• ✅ Document custom modifications
• ✅ Track GitHub stars over time

Troubleshooting

"Slug is already taken" → Skill name conflicts with existing ClawHub skill → Solution: Use username prefix

"Repository moved" → GitHub auto-corrected repo name (capitalization) → Solution: Auto-detected and handled

"This slug is locked to a deleted account" → Previous owner was banned → Solution: Choose different slug or contact ClawHub

Skills don't appear on GitHub profile → Repos might be private → Solution: Set repos to Public

ClawHub install fails → SKILL.md might be malformed → Solution: Validate SKILL.md frontmatter

"Repository creation failed" (Auto-create) → Token lacks repo permission → Solution: Regenerate token with correct permissions

"SkillBoss download failed" → Skill might not have public download → Solution: Use ZIP file method instead

"Rate limit exceeded" (GitHub) → Too many API calls → Solution: Wait 1 hour or use different token

Advanced: Custom Notion Schema

Default schema:

{
  "Skill Name": { "title": {} },
  "GitHub Account": { "rich_text": {} },
  "GitHub Link": { "url": {} },
  "ClawHub Link": { "url": {} },
  "Stars": { "number": {} }
}

To add custom fields:

1. Create database manually with extra columns
2. Provide database ID to skill
3. Skill will fill standard fields only

API Rate Limits

GitHub:

• 5,000 requests/hour (authenticated)
• Push operations unlimited

ClawHub:

• 180 requests/minute
• Automatic retry on 429

Notion:

• 3 requests/second
• Automatic backoff

SkillBoss.co Integration

✅ What Works (Verified 2026-04-14)

Direct Download:

• ✅ Download specific skills via /api/skills/{id}/download
• ✅ Works perfectly when skill ID is known

Playwright Scraping (Experimental):

• ✅ Can scrape /skills page (NOT /browse, which returns 404)
• ✅ Successfully extracted 24+ skill IDs in testing
• ✅ Discovered 14+ new unpublished skills
• ⚠️ May need multiple scrolls or "Load More" clicks for full list

⚠️ Current Limitations

• ❌ No public API for listing all skills
• ❌ /browse endpoint returns 404 (use /skills instead)
• ❌ Simple curl/web_fetch can't extract skills (JavaScript-rendered)
• ✅ Solution: Use Playwright for auto-discovery

How It Works

1. Direct Download (When URLs Are Known):

   • Downloads skill ZIP from SkillBoss CDN via /api/skills/{id}/download
   • Verifies file integrity
   • Extracts to temp directory

2. Auto-Create GitHub Repo:

   curl -X POST https://api.github.com/user/repos \
     -H "Authorization: token ghp_xxx..." \
     -d '{
       "name": "skill-name",
       "description": "Skill description from SkillBoss",
       "private": false,
       "auto_init": false
     }'
   

3. Push + Publish:

   • Same as manual workflow
   • Fully automated

Supported URLs

• ✅ Direct skill: https://www.skillboss.co/skills/backtest-expert
• ✅ Skills page: https://www.skillboss.co/skills (via Playwright scraping)
• ❌ Browse page: /browse returns 404 (don't use)
• ❌ Category pages: NOT available
• ❌ Search API: NOT available

Workflows

Method 1: Manual URLs (Most Reliable):

1. User provides specific skill URLs
2. Tool downloads those specific skills
3. Auto-publishes to GitHub + ClawHub

Method 2: Playwright Auto-Discovery (Experimental):

1. Run python3 scripts/scrape-skillboss.py
2. Script visits https://www.skillboss.co/skills
3. Extracts all visible skill IDs
4. User selects which ones to publish
5. Tool downloads and publishes

Method 3: Known Skills List:

• Use pre-curated list in references/skillboss-known-skills.md
• 35+ verified working skills (updated 2026-04-14)

Batch Operations

Option A: Provide Specific URLs (Recommended):

Publish these SkillBoss skills:
- https://www.skillboss.co/skills/backtest-expert
- https://www.skillboss.co/skills/audio-transcribe
- https://www.skillboss.co/skills/browser-automation

GitHub: YourUsername
Token: ghp_xxx...
ClawHub Token: clh_xxx...

Option B: Auto-Discover with Playwright:

Auto-discover skills from SkillBoss and publish top 10.

GitHub: YourUsername
Token: ghp_xxx...
ClawHub Token: clh_xxx...

Assistant will:

1. Run Playwright to scrape /skills page
2. Extract all available skill IDs
3. Download verified skills
4. Auto-create GitHub repos
5. Publish to GitHub + ClawHub
6. Track in Notion

Known working skills: See references/skillboss-known-skills.md (35+ verified, updated 2026-04-14)
