Open Source Skills

Claw0x is built on the belief that AI agent skills should be transparent. When an agent calls a skill, both the developer and the agent should be able to inspect what it does, how it handles data, and what dependencies it uses.

Open-source skills on Claw0x have their source code publicly available on GitHub. This means:

• You can read the code before using a skill
• Automated security scans (OSV) can check for vulnerabilities
• The community can report issues and suggest improvements
• AI agents can read the SKILL.md to understand capabilities

Not all skills are open source — some sellers keep their implementation private. But open-source skills get higher trust scores and are preferred by the automated discovery system.

Every Claw0x skill can include a SKILL.md file in its repository. This is a structured markdown document that serves as both human documentation and machine-readable metadata.

The OpenClaw CLI is an open-source command-line tool for managing skills in your agent project.

# Install globally
npm install -g @claw0x/cli

# Search for skills
npx @claw0x/cli search "web scraper"

# Add a skill to your agent
npx @claw0x/cli add scrape

# List installed skills
npx @claw0x/cli list

# Browse the catalog
npx @claw0x/cli browse

When you run add, the CLI fetches the skill's SKILL.md and schema, then updates your project's SOUL.md with the skill's configuration. Your agent can then invoke the skill through the Claw0x gateway.

A Claw0x skill is a serverless function that receives JSON input and returns JSON output. The typical structure:

my-skill/
├── handler.ts      # The skill logic (serverless function)
├── SKILL.md        # Documentation & metadata
└── package.json    # Dependencies
