skill-finder
Find skills everywhere. Install to every AI platform you use.
Multi-source skill discovery: search ClawHub, GitHub, npm, and local skills in one command. Find, vet, and install across OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
Overview
skill-hunter only searches ClawHub. skill-finder searches 6 sources simultaneously, deduplicates results, ranks by trust, and lets you vet security before installing anything.
| skill-hunter | skill-finder | |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | 1 (ClawHub) | 6 (ClawHub + GitHub + npm + local + more) |
| Security vetting | None | Built-in VET command |
| Install from GitHub | No | Yes |
| Shows local skills | No | Yes |
| Deduplication | No | Yes |
Quick Start
# Find skills about Telegram
skill-finder: find telegram
# See what's trending on ClawHub this week
skill-finder: scout trending
# Vet a skill before installing
skill-finder: vet telegram-bot
# Install from GitHub instead of ClawHub
skill-finder: install github:sanada123/openclaw-skills/telegram-bot
# See all detected AI platforms and installed skills
skill-finder: status
# Install to a specific platform
skill-finder: install telegram-bot --platform claude-code
# Install to all detected platforms at once
skill-finder: install telegram-bot
Commands
FIND — Search everywhere, ranked by trust
skill-finder: find <query>
Searches all 6 sources concurrently, deduplicates by name/slug, and returns ranked results.
Output columns:
RANK NAME SOURCE DESCRIPTION INSTALL
1 telegram-bot local Send Telegram messages (already installed)
2 telegram-notifier our-github Notify via Telegram install github:sanada123/openclaw-skills/telegram-notifier
3 telegram-claude clawhub Full Telegram + Claude bot install telegram-claude
4 telegram-webhook npm Webhook handler for Telegram install npm:openclaw-skill-telegram-webhook
Ranking logic:
- Local installed skills (already have them)
- Our GitHub (
sanada123/openclaw-skills) — trusted source - ClawHub (ranked by semantic relevance score)
- GitHub community skills (ranked by stars)
- npm packages (ranked by weekly downloads)
- skillsmp.com (if available)
Options:
skill-finder: find telegram --source clawhub # Single source only
skill-finder: find telegram --top 5 # Limit results
skill-finder: find telegram --safe # Only SAFE-vetted skills
SCOUT — Browse trending and new skills
skill-finder: scout trending # Top skills this week across sources
skill-finder: scout newest # Most recently published
skill-finder: scout popular # All-time most installed
Sources checked: ClawHub trending endpoint + GitHub topic stars + npm weekly downloads.
Example output:
TRENDING THIS WEEK
1. n8n-workflow-builder clawhub ★ 847 "Build n8n workflows with AI"
2. mcp-server-builder clawhub ★ 623 "Create MCP servers"
3. openclaw-skill-slack npm ↓ 2.1k "Slack integration toolkit"
VET — Security analysis before install
skill-finder: vet <slug>
skill-finder: vet github:user/repo/path
skill-finder: vet https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...
Pulls the SKILL.md and runs a 10-point security checklist.
Security scorecard:
| Check | Flag | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Reads env vars (API keys, tokens) | REVIEW | -1 |
| Executes shell commands | REVIEW | -1 |
| Makes outbound network calls | INFO | 0 |
| Calls known-safe APIs only | SAFE | +1 |
| Installs packages at runtime | RISKY | -2 |
| Accesses filesystem outside workspace | RISKY | -2 |
| Contains obfuscated code | RISKY | -3 |
| Has pinned dependency versions | SAFE | +1 |
| Published author has other trusted skills | SAFE | +1 |
| SKILL.md has explicit permissions section | SAFE | +1 |
Verdicts:
- SAFE (8–10): Install with confidence
- REVIEW (5–7): Read the skill carefully before installing
- RISKY (0–4): Do not install without understanding exactly what it does
Example output:
VET REPORT: telegram-bot (clawhub)
Score: 7/10 — REVIEW
Flags:
[REVIEW] Reads env vars: TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID
[INFO] Makes outbound calls: api.telegram.org
[SAFE] Author sanada123 has 12 published skills
[SAFE] Has explicit permissions section in SKILL.md
Recommendation: Safe to install if you intend to use Telegram. The env vars
it reads are expected for this skill type. Review lines 23-31 of SKILL.md.
INSTALL — Install from any source to any platform
# From ClawHub (default) — installs to all detected platforms
skill-finder: install <slug>
# From our GitHub skills repo
skill-finder: install github:sanada123/openclaw-skills/<skill-name>
# From any GitHub repo (org/repo/path/to/skill)
skill-finder: install github:<user>/<repo>/<path>
# Copy from local path
skill-finder: install local:</path/to/skill>
# From npm
skill-finder: install npm:<package-name>
--platform flag — target a specific platform:
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform openclaw
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform claude-code
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform codex
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform cursor
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform windsurf
skill-finder: install <slug> --platform continue
When --platform is omitted, skill-finder detects all present platforms and installs to all of them.
Install flow:
- Fetch SKILL.md from source
- Auto-run VET (warn if RISKY, require
--forceto override) - Detect installed platforms (or use
--platformoverride) - Copy to each platform's skill/rules directory
- Confirm: "Installed skill-name → [platform1 path], [platform2 path]"
Skip vet (not recommended):
skill-finder: install telegram-bot --no-vet
Force-install to all platforms even if some lack a skills directory:
skill-finder: install telegram-bot --force --i-reviewed-it
STATUS — Inventory of all platforms and installed skills
skill-finder: status
Detects all installed AI platforms and lists skills found in each platform's skill directory.
Example output:
Detected platforms:
✓ OpenClaw ~/.openclaw/skills/ (23 skills)
✓ Claude Code ~/.claude/skills/ (8 skills)
✓ Codex ~/.codex/skills/ (5 skills)
✗ Cursor not detected
✗ Windsurf not detected
✓ Local ./skills/ (12 skills)

Source Priority Table
| # | Source | Trust Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Local workspace | Highest — you own it | Already installed skills |
| 2 | Our GitHub (sanada123/openclaw-skills) | High — your own published skills | Tested, personal skills |
| 3 | ClawHub semantic search | High — curated platform | Discovering quality skills |
| 4 | GitHub topic: openclaw-skill | Medium — community | Niche/experimental skills |
| 5 | npm registry | Medium — versioned packages | Skills with dependencies |
| 6 | skillsmp.com | Variable — try, fail gracefully | Alternative marketplace |
Security Framework
Always vet before installing skills you didn't write.
The VET command is automatic on INSTALL. To force-install a RISKY skill you've reviewed:
skill-finder: install <slug> --force --i-reviewed-it
What VET cannot catch:
- Skills that behave differently based on environment
- Logic that only activates under certain conditions
- Social engineering (skill that tells you to do something harmful)
Golden rule: If a skill asks you to run commands outside the workspace, pipe to shell, or export credentials — stop and re-read it.
Rate Limits & Best Practices
| Source | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ClawHub | 60 req/min | No auth needed for search |
| GitHub API | 60 req/hour (unauthenticated) | Set GITHUB_TOKEN for 5000/hour |
| npm registry | ~1000 req/hour | No auth needed |
| skillsmp.com | Unknown | Fail gracefully if unavailable |
Set GitHub token for better rate limits:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_yourtoken
# skill-finder automatically uses it if set
Concurrent search: FIND runs all sources in parallel. Total search time ≈ slowest source response time (~1-2s), not sum of all.
