Status: ✅ AUTHENTICATION VERIFIED (Version 1.2.0)

🎯 When to Use#

• Publishing skills to ClawHub
• Updating existing published skills
• Batch publishing workflows
• Authentication troubleshooting

📋 Prerequisites#

Essential:#

1. npm install -g clawhub
2. GitHub account (for ClawHub registration)
3. ClawHub API token (from https://clawhub.ai/settings/tokens)

Token Format:#

• Starts with: clh_
• Length: ~45 characters
• Example: clh_aEv-hIyAS42nOClecciC_svRODF4Ug6Ema4PfaXNFoY

🚀 Complete Workflow#

1. Authentication (Token Method - CONFIRMED WORKING)#

bash

# Get token from: https://clawhub.ai/settings/tokens
# Then authenticate:
clawhub login --token "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" --no-browser

# Verify:
clawhub whoami
# Should show: ✔ your-username

2. Skill Preparation#

bash

cd /path/to/your-skill

# Validate skill structure
./scripts/validate.sh

# Check for personal information
grep -i "C:\\\\\|/home/\|password\|token\|secret" SKILL.md || echo "Clean"

3. Publishing#

bash

# Dry run first
clawhub publish . --dry-run

# Actual publish
clawhub publish . \
  --slug "your-unique-slug" \
  --name "Skill Display Name" \
  --version "1.0.0" \
  --changelog "Initial release"

# Slug rules:
# - Lowercase, hyphens only
# - Must be globally unique
# - If taken, append "-v2" or "-backup"

4. Verification#

bash

# Check skill was published
clawhub inspect your-slug

# Test installation
clawhub install your-slug --dry-run

# Visit on web: https://clawhub.ai/s/YOUR_USERNAME/your-slug

⚠️ Pitfalls & Solutions#

Pitfall 1: Token Authentication Not Working#

Symptoms: "Not logged in" even with token Solution: Use exact command: clawhub login --token "TOKEN" --no-browser

Pitfall 2: Slug Already Taken#

Symptoms: "Only the owner can publish updates" Solution: Choose different slug, check availability first

Pitfall 3: Skill Validation Fails#

Symptoms: Publishing rejected Solution: Run validation script, fix SKILL.md structure

Pitfall 4: Token Expired#

Symptoms: Authentication suddenly stops working Solution: Generate new token from ClawHub settings

# Should return: ✔ username

Skill Test#
