One of the most powerful features of OpenClaw is its extensibility. Out of the box, your AI assistant can hold conversations, answer questions, and help with everyday tasks. But the real magic happens when you start adding skills — modular capabilities that let your assistant search the web, automate browsers, manage your calendar, write and review code, and much more.
That is where ClavHub comes in.
What Is ClavHub?
ClavHub is OpenClaw's official skill marketplace — a central hub where community members share, discover, and install skills that extend what your AI assistant can do. Think of it as an app store for your AI: each skill adds a specific capability, from real-time web search to full browser automation.
Skills on ClavHub follow the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard, which means they work consistently across different AI models and providers. Whether you are running Claude, GPT, or an open-source model through OpenRouter, ClavHub skills integrate seamlessly. To learn more about how MCP powers OpenClaw skills, check out our guide to OpenClaw and MCP.
Anyone can publish a skill to ClavHub, and the community reviews and rates them — so you can quickly find the most reliable and useful tools for your workflow.

Top ClavHub Skills by Category
We have tested dozens of ClavHub skills and picked the ones that deliver the most value for daily use. Here are our top recommendations, organized by category.
Web Search and Research
These skills give your assistant the ability to access real-time information from the internet — essential for answering current questions, researching topics, and fact-checking.
- Tavily Search — The most popular search skill on ClavHub, and for good reason. Tavily provides fast, AI-optimized web search results with clean extracted content. Your assistant gets concise, relevant answers instead of raw HTML. Ideal for research tasks, news lookups, and general knowledge queries.
- Brave Search — A privacy-focused alternative that delivers high-quality search results without tracking. Brave Search works well for users who want strong results without relying on Google infrastructure. It supports both web and news search modes.
- Perplexity Integration — Connects your assistant to Perplexity's answer engine, which synthesizes information from multiple sources into coherent, cited responses. Particularly useful for complex research questions where you need a well-rounded answer rather than a list of links.
Browser Automation
Browser skills let your assistant interact with websites directly — navigating pages, clicking buttons, filling forms, and extracting data. These are game-changers for automation workflows.
- Playwright Browser — The gold standard for browser automation. This skill gives your assistant full control of a headless Chromium browser. It can navigate to any URL, interact with page elements, take screenshots, and extract structured data. Perfect for scraping, monitoring, and automated testing.
- Puppeteer Web — A lighter alternative to Playwright, well-suited for simpler browsing tasks like taking screenshots of web pages, extracting text content, or checking if a website is up. Lower resource overhead makes it a good choice for basic automation.
- Web Scraper Pro — Focused specifically on data extraction. Point it at a URL and it intelligently extracts structured data — product prices, article content, contact information, and more. Handles pagination and dynamic content automatically.
Productivity
These skills turn your assistant into a personal productivity hub, connecting it to the tools you already use every day.
- Google Calendar — Read, create, and modify calendar events through natural language. Ask your assistant to schedule a meeting, check your availability, or list upcoming events. Supports multiple calendars and recurring events.
- Email Manager — Read and draft emails without leaving your chat. Search through your inbox, summarize unread messages, and compose replies. Works with Gmail and Outlook via OAuth.
- Obsidian Notes — Connect your Obsidian vault to your assistant. Search across your notes, create new entries, and even have your assistant summarize or link related notes together. A must-have for knowledge workers who use Obsidian as their second brain.
- File Manager — Read, write, organize, and search files on your system. Useful for batch renaming, organizing downloads, converting file formats, and generating reports from local data.
Coding and Development
Developer-focused skills that make your assistant a capable coding partner.
- Code Executor — Run Python, JavaScript, and shell scripts directly from chat. Your assistant can write code, execute it, and iterate on the results — all in one conversation. Sandboxed execution keeps your system safe.
- GitHub Integration — Manage repositories, pull requests, issues, and code reviews without leaving your assistant. Create branches, review diffs, merge PRs, and track issues. Essential for developers who want to stay in flow.
- Code Review Assistant — Paste code or point to a file, and this skill provides detailed feedback on code quality, potential bugs, security issues, and performance improvements. Supports dozens of programming languages.
Communication
Skills that help your assistant manage conversations across multiple platforms.
- Multi-Channel Messenger — Send and receive messages across Telegram, Discord, Slack, and other platforms from a single interface. Useful for managing community channels or coordinating across teams.
- Notification Hub — Set up custom alerts and notifications. Monitor websites for changes, get notified when specific events occur, or create scheduled reminders. Delivers notifications to your preferred channel.

How to Evaluate a Skill Before Installing
Not all skills are created equal. Before installing a skill from ClavHub, take a moment to evaluate it:
- Check the ratings and reviews. Skills with many positive reviews and high ratings have been tested by the community. Read recent reviews to see if there are any known issues.
- Look at the author's reputation. Established authors with multiple well-rated skills are generally more trustworthy. Check their profile for other published skills and community activity.
- Review the permissions. Every skill declares what it needs access to — file system, network, browser, and so on. Be cautious with skills that request more permissions than their described functionality requires.
- Check the update frequency. Skills that are actively maintained receive bug fixes and compatibility updates. Avoid skills that have not been updated in several months.
- Test in a low-risk environment first. If a skill has broad permissions, try it with non-sensitive data before integrating it into your main workflow.
Creating Your Own Skills for ClavHub
If you have built a useful tool or integration, consider sharing it on ClavHub. The process is straightforward:
- Build your skill using the MCP standard. OpenClaw provides templates and documentation to get you started quickly.
- Test thoroughly with different models and configurations to ensure compatibility.
- Write clear documentation that explains what your skill does, what permissions it needs, and how to configure it.
- Publish to ClavHub through the developer portal. Your skill will be available for the entire community to discover and install.
Contributing skills is one of the best ways to give back to the OpenClaw community — and it helps build your reputation as a developer in the ecosystem.
